Saturday evening at 6:36 pm I rode my Young Rider Freestyle. Oslo was the most calm he had ever been on the walk over to the warm-up ring and as nothing changed as we rode down to the show ring. This was the first day that Oslo felt completely rideable and listening to me since we have arrived. Consequently, we had an amazing freestyle and ended up with a score of 69.600%! I was soooooo happy with Oslo. Since we were the fifth ride in, we retained the lead until the last 5 riders went. Unfortunately, the last five riders were the top five riders from the Individual test (where I should have been, but I am not even going to start that again!) and in the end we finished in Fifth place. I am still uuber happy with that and I am still very thrilled with how Oslo felt. Both him and I were feeling very comfortable and confident in that show ring and we had a very great ride! The awards ceremony was a different story and I am not sure if Oslo was just not happy with his pink ribbon or what, but it was a bit caotic!
I also want to tahnk everyone who came up to me afterwards and commented on how good our freestyle was. We had a bunch of comments on how great our music was and that we had the best choreography and timing of everyone. So thank you guys! Comments such as those make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside! And for you that were not there, we have it on video - I just hope the quality is ok since papa was saying he starting shaking half way through because he got so nervous since it was going so well! Aww, I love you papa!
I have to go now since the computer is running out of battery..... I will post another soon though!
