Sunday saw Lucas and I back out competing for the first time in 3 weeks. With Corky, Bluebell (our lorry) and me all being injured in one way or another there has not been much jumping done at all so I was feeling a bit rusty.
There was a fun Christmas show on at Blueridge so it seemed like a good way to get back to jumping.
It was the first show I'd been at all year running table A7 - wow, does it slow things up! It was fun going in for a proper jump off but I think I prefer the more modern single or two phase classes in the essence of saving time.
We ended up having a great day, DC in both classes winning the 60cm and fourth in the 70cm. I know the heights are still very low but Lucas is going to take time to come back and I need to make sure I don't rush him. He is finally making a nicer shape over the jumps and the staging leaps seem to have gone. I've added a couple of videos below to show the improvement. This Sunday we will jump 2 more wee classes at Rockrose this time and then a lesson with David later in the week. Corky (and I) have physio this week so I'm hoping to get him back into work ASAP as I am missing the cheeky week chap.
