Ok the riding side was great fun - Atreyu & I had one or two 'discussions' in and out of the arena
but my girl was good despite our differences of opinion 
But I have to say it was really catching up with people as we warmed up. And taking part in the Great Button Hunt
- any luck yet Susan? Gail, your lad is just gorgeous, must be such a buzz competing on a horse you bred yourself. I'd never have the nerve to do that - EVER - even if I had a mare I'd consider breeding from! A mini Atreyu? Like a mini me its something the world can DEFINATELY live without! 
LMAO Your boy is lovely Had lots of other chats with people I can't remember the names of
memory like a goldfish. But the lady who won the NN and shares my taste in favourite movie well done on an excellent result!! You were so nervous the week before and look at the difference a week makes! wow Well done you!! brilliant!!! And the girl that won the Ferrier Trophy - I said it last night, have to say it again - an excellent result well deserved Such a lovely flowing round made even more special when she told me she's only had her gorgeous horse for a week and a half! Well done!!! I had to leave then- still had to hack home- so didn't see the following classes
Anyone care to let me know how they went? I've got to say it's been a long long time since I played on Trophy night at the RC and I was surprised at the turnout. Where was everybody? A long long time ago when Katto was in the open class I can remember thinking it was a good thing I was on a grey as the organisers would still be able to see us as we went round the course You think I'm kidding??? All the classes were bursting to capacity.... last night not so much 
Makes me a little sad tbh - ok I was beyond chuffed when I got 2nd last night despite having a pole down in the jump off (My fault not Atreyu's - I screwed up at the style because I'm a Muppet LOL Actually I screwed up at a lot of places that she got me out of trouble at ) Anyway - I digress, my apologies. It was a shame to see it so lightly supported as its a great fun night - not that you'd think it looking at all of our faces before we go into the ring - mine included! lmao I just keep reminding myself- "I do this for fun, I do this for fun, I do this for fun, I do..."
LOL And I'm always smiling as we leave the arena so it half works 
But you never know- maybe the devil will make a deal for my soul as this something is rather special.... 
Now this is a very well spoken, extremely well educated respected lady we're talking about here! No-one would ever realise what was going on if they didn't know LMAO I have no idea if it works or not but watching this charade in action from a distance is SO funny!!!!
