Danneverke A&P

Set off last night after work to Masterton with Neo & Xev. We stayed overnight at Mum's grazing (got them settled into yards at about 10pm and promptly fell asleep myself) - then up again at 4pm to take my two plus Alfie up the line to Danneverke. It was a stunning day - but heaps of fog to drive through in the morning which is always a bit tiresome (or is it the 4am starts that are tiresome?!).
I did 1m & 1.10m on both mine and was really happy with them. Ended up retiring Neo from the larger class as we stuffed up the double and I didn't want to re-try right then as I didn't feel it was worth it to stress him. But Xev was jumping great! Met a few fences wrong, but she put in some massive leaps to get us out of trouble. Really pleased with them for sure, and even in the warmup rings their flatwork is improving all the time. Got to be pleased with that. Will enter both for HoY this week and that will give me a good goal for both of them. No pics of me as we didn't bring a photographer today - but I did manage to finish my showjumping to get a few pics of Mum.
Mum and Alfie had a fab day, winning a conformation class and the ladies hack - then taking home a wide ribbon for Reserve Champ Riding Horse!
Alfie was a real star - not bothered by any of the noise at the sideshows next to the ring and was very laid back (even for loose-rein work in the ring as requested by the judge). He's also getting heaps better at standing well without fidgeting while waiting, especially when he doesn't have Gem around to call out to.
More pics of pretty Alfie:
We were all finished before lunchtime, and I managed to get back to Wellington by 3pm, making great time even though the roads were very busy. Stellar weather too - Neo and Xev are currently out in the paddock naked and rolling around and grooming each other being very cute.
