I think sometimes judges really do want to see us improve (If they remember us) and will reward us if they can. I know from a philosophical stand point that's where I'd be as a judge. Bummer about the two rails, Ramone was very much the same way, mucking one out in warm up meant a more careful horse where it counted L.Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05052638724440787772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932439930694780998.post-56736849074947667212021-09-22T19:34:02.241-07:002021-09-22T19:34:02.241-07:00I have done the same thing!

Sounds overall like a really great day! Charlie was ridable and relaxed for both dressage and the jumping. Even if you had a couple rails, the rest of it went great. And like you said, the first rail barely counts since it actually rode nicely.
