Wow, what an exhausting weekend!! - By Fiona Hunt

What can I say? Genie is absolutely amazing. A 4 1/2 hour journey on Friday, schooling session Friday night, and then she tried her heart out for me at the BRC Nationals at Lincoln in the mist (at 10.30am!). In true BRC style the scores took forever to go up, but my super pony helped us to post a whopping 80%!! We then had a 3 hour wait for the rest of the scores (again, true BRC style!).

Long story short? Our team was 8th out of about 34!!!

Genie and I WON our arena!!!!!!!!!!

We were 10th overall!!!!!!!! (This is done out of ALL horses in the riding test at both novice and prelim, across 6 arenas, so about 150 horses!)

I could have cried at numerous points yesterday. We have received a lovely sash and two beautiful rosettes (sadly we didn't get the coveted rug, those only went to winning teams and overall winner). She was such a show off in the presentation - absolutely TOWED me down the long side as the photo shows!

A long journey home today and we are both exhausted. Genie is out in the field for the first time since Friday morning and I have seen to the lorry and am now absolutely exhausted! It's my birthday tomorrow and we shall go for our traditional birthday hack, then she will have Tuesday and Wednesday off to chill.

Thank you for the early present Genie!!!
