Fulminante -Cen competed at the Pet Plan Area Festival Finals, during the BD Winter Championships. This was a superb venue, at Hartpury College, and he performed well. In the first test he was placed 9th, the first 15 going through to the second round. In the second round we had a bit of a blip in the canter work so were unplaced at the end, however the aim was to get through to the second round, so we achieved our goal. He was much livelier than at the Regional Championships, so the hacking and cantering preparation worked.
Marie and Jo also did a fine job, and lovely tests in the electric atmosphere, but were unplaced. The competition was hot, and it was a huge experience for all. But a positive one and gave a lot of confidence. Now we just need to get there again!
