Welcome to my world

the build up

Drew and I had practiced for about two hours before we realised what the time was.

At this time Drew had three clear rounds and I had four because I managed to get one more then him.

Lemonade's jumping got better each time she jumped. Her style was also getting better and she was listening to me more then she did.

"Good girl" I whispered as I pattered her neck. I now talk to her more in comps and it helps her confidence. 

"I think we should go in now." Drew said as we cooled down our horses.

We showered the horses after taking off all the tack before putting them out in the field with their fly.

I went into the room first where DJ, Josh and Damon were there waiting with a huge smile on their faces.

"What now."

“Oh nothing, Drew check your bed.” DJ ordered with a smirk Drew looked at his older brother.

“You didn’t” Drew said as he ran into our room causing DJ and Damon to crack up laughing while Josh almost fell off his chair. “Oh you are so funny.” Drew laughed as he saw the massive pile of cloths that were his scattered out on his bed.

I walked in and started laughing to, it was too good. Drew was a perfectionist so anything dirty he would be the first to clean it.

We had three weeks until the champs and we were to do the same routine every day.

Mine was to get up at 6 and have breakfast, then at 6:30 I was to sit down with DJ and go through what our group needs to work on. At 7:30 I would wake up my team. At 8:30 we would go out to ride the horses and come back in at 12 then after that at 3 we would have a meeting and for an hour I would stay with my horse for a while in the paddocks.

Coach and our training rotated around each group to make sure we were going ok. When coach came on the second Thursday. Drew and I were chasing each other around on our horses. “Maybe I made I mistake making you one of the leaders” He joked as we trotted back over to him.

We did a practice comp on Sundays three I won two out of the three and Drew won the last one because I was going easy. That’s it I was going easy.

I was very happy with Lemonade's build up she was very nice going over the jump and she was full of confidence. I was too full of confidence.

Drew, Deccan and I had a little talk the night before the comp.

"If we stick to the plan, we can do it Damon but we have to stick to the plan." Drew nodded in agreement. "Yea I think that could work." Drew laughed as Damon through a pillow at me that terribly missed.

We all went to bed at 12, because we just actually forgot the time.
