Really like this horse Boyd :) What a shame about the XC fence but I agree im not sure whether you could technically say he had presented to the fence yet or not.. Anyway definitely a learning curve & something for you and Barney to work on in the off season. That combo actually reminded me a lot of the rail ditch brush towards the end of the 4* long at Blenheim this year (it's on H&C+) and the ones that did that well with younger horses let them know well beforehand that something was coming up and slowed them down whilst keeping up the impulsion and kept them straight. Still some of those horses didn't lock on to part C. Anyway food for thought. Look forward to seeing him back next season with you :)

gorgeous horse. bad name -- which doesn't do him justice and will hinder him as a seriously competitive horse.
Lol what a ridiculous comment.
