Well, slightly traumatic day. First of all, congratulations to Erika for an awesome ride on X-Ray. She made him look like a schoolmaster! Even though the judges called him Lilly. oops.
So, Val and I were second in dressage with a score of 69.5% going into stadium when he decided to slice his leg open on a secretly hidden piece of metal under the trailer. Awesome. Lots of stitches and a few weeks of rest and he will be back to normal, so I feel really lucky, but it kinda put a damper on the day. Thanks so very much to everyone - you were all so incredibly kind and generous and it made his bloody ankle not quite as terrible. Ugh.
But we had the best dressage test ever and my horse is alive and just a bit altered, so I am grateful.
Pics coming soon, of course
