The riding club held a working equitation party at our place. Hanuman and Posy were onlookers but I was invited to take part.

I set off with a stylish trot circle round some barrels |
There was one mystery manoeuvre involving a pole which had me flummoxed. She said it was a side pass that we had successfully practised for a couple of days beforehand, but I have no recollection of any such thing. My efforts to untie with rope gate with my teeth didn't prove as helpful as I'd hoped, but otherwise, everyone was agreed that I did very well indeed.

I keep a safe distance from the 'bull' but She still manages to spear the ring on top |

Nimbly trotting round cones |
The second section was the timed Speed section, so I hurtled round and did a canter weave round the cones of such brilliance that I got a round of applause, which encouraged me to go faster and I did a gigantic leap over the jump. The only thing that held me up was the mystery manoeuvre, the likes of which I have never done before.
Then there was a prize giving and I had to line up for a ribbon (third) and look responsible and set a good example to Boss, the ex-steeplechaser, who was piaffing at the end of the line. I got some carrots and She got a chocolate Easter bunny, so everyone was happy.
