Horseback Riding Competition (1)

Day 1
Sat, May 26, 2012

This morning I felt nervous coz I'll compete at Arrowhead Training Competition.
Today, My best partner, Owen (horse), and I will join dressage preliminary class and show jumping 50-70 accumulator. This is my third times join dressage competition and my first time join jumping competition :O
Btw, Oyen and Rya (my best friend) came to Arrowhead Horse Riding School to support me. I'll do my best!

First, I did dressage test well. I got the 1st place! How glad I'm :D
After rested for a while, I joined the show jumping competition. 1st pole, nice! 2nd pole, nice! 3rd pole, good! 4th pole, Ok! 5th pole, great! 6th pole..... O'o.. OMG, the horse didn't want to jump at the 6th pole! I tried again, she still didn't want to jump :o My coach give some instructions but I didn't hear it. May be because I was so nervous and too focus with the pole. Then I tried again, this is my last chance to jump or I'll be eliminated. I prayed and said basmalah... and then............ and then............... Owen still didn't want to jump -______- I was eliminated. 

My coach said, "Kamu udah bagus banget naiknya, santai, rapi, tapi jangan anggap jumping kayak dressage! Kamu tadi kurang punya greget! Mau ada sinar mantul atau apa kek pokoknya no excuse, kudanya harus jump sesuai perintahmu!" <-- guruku emang agak galak dan tegas, but actually he is nice and funny
Elan's coach said, "Kudanya tadi takut ra. Palangnya itu baru dicat, jadi kempling. Mataharinya pas mantul ke situ, jadi kudanya takut tiba2 silau gitu..."

Although I was eliminated but I was not lament becoz I have an amazing experience and I'll learned from my failure ;)

Intinya, This is an amazing day :D
