We have finished with a 2nd place and 72.8 %

Well what a result to finish on! Brennus was so good as the arena was packed with people noises etc and he was first to go but he gave me everything I asked for and more with a super clean test ! I have watched the test on dvd and because my shoulder is still painful I cannot move my left arm and this shows in the video but we still pulled it off. Phil is over the moon and so proud we won him 5 trophies over 1000 euro’s and 11 rosettes and we are now on our way home tomorrow (thank god) says Jo with relief. Its been a trip of highs and lows my lowest point being falling off on day 1 ! Highest point or points must be the improvement and achievements of both horses and also pulling it off in the first place for Phil’s 50TH! We had a sleepless night as trucks were pulling out at 2 am 4am and 5.30am but we are now packed and are hoping to leave around 5ish ourselves as we have the first of 3 500 mile days. Our first stop Sunday night is in Palencia in North Spain, 2nd stop is Poitiers in France and 3rd stop is HOME ! We are hoping to keep you all updated throughout our journey but are dependent on the infamous O2 dongle !!!!!

    Well Done Jo ( and of course the boys) definately finished on a high. Shouldn’t worry too much about earning some money when you get home, you could get killed in the stampede for lessons! Fair to say we have been ticking over while you’ve been away, but are now in desparate need of your tutoring. Have a safe journey home, looking forward to seeing you both and hearing more about the tour.
