Posted - 12 Sep 2011 : 2:14:49 PM I Took deano to do his first dressage test yesterday. He was far better than I ever imagined or expected from him and he was a complete star. We were aiming to be there an hour before to give me time to get him settled and relaxed but were running a bit late and got there just 35mins before his test. I had no need to worry he was relaxed and completely chilled from the minute he came off the box. He queitly trotted around the warm up strutting his stuff and didn't even give a thought about all the other horses. He behaved very well during the test and managed to get a score of 64.35% he came 9th out of a big class of 38 so i am chuffed his next venture is a show next sat if all going well. here is a couple of pics oh took
