Hartpury - dressage

It was dressage day at Hartpury and Oratorio really put his best foot forward and did a lovely test with no mistakes.  As I said at Bramham it was very much a clear round in the dressage.  He ended up with a 29 which was a little disappointing but nothing could be done about that.   Also very excitingly I walked the cross country and the going is amazing, they had already done a lot of work on the ground prior to the rain and we had proper rain last night and today, which has made all the difference.  So provided we survived the show jumping Rio will definitely be running.

Kazu also had a good day and did a very decent test.  Tacoma was lovely and relaxed and even did some good halts.  He will also be running and this will obviously be there last run before WEG so he is very grateful the ground is looking so good.
