Don't you think I'm a pretty boy?

Hello, my names Harper's Bornival (Chocolate or Chocx for short) and the following pics are of me doing dressage.
I think I'm going to be rather good, because I've only done two Aff. tests so far and came 2nd then won this one.

Chocolate does Elementary dressage

We've always felt Chocx was bored stiff with BE dressage so decided to try him last week in BD. He came second in his first ever Novice so this was his next go at Elementary 58. Not an easy one for a first go but blow me he won on 68.12 and even would have been on 70.12 had his daft rider not forgotten the test!
So it looks like a go at BD dressage this year, not bad for an oldie of 18 changing career directions is he!!!!

Jack's elementary debut!

We only put him is because he was such a prat in the Novice, and poor lad had never done walk pirouettes in his life! He tried his little heart out though and ended up second on a score of 65.31 which was good for a first go..

Jack's Novice test

There were horses turned out right next to the arena whilst he was doing his test and they charged about which set him off a bit, but no excuse, a good horse should ignore any distractions.. he spooked a couple of times and shortened up too much as a result.

Jack's Novice test

He was a bit too much "up in the air" as you can see!
