I have had a few people ask about what the Wobbleberry challenge is. So here goes it is for over 25's who haven't competed at a British Event before. It is a personal challenge to push yourself to achieve more than you think is possible and to live everyday like it's your last.
What is the challenge? The challenge is to compete at an official BE80 by the end of the summer 2017. I will be required to complete a dressage test a round of show jumps and then a round of cross country.
How is this a challenge for me? Well where do I start, I have had more injuries than I can count. In 2010 I fractured my back in a field which has knocked my confidence. Since then I have worked hard to get back out galloping through fields with the help of my amazing friends. However I have still not completely over come the fear and still struggle mentally with the thought of jumping.
When I signed up for this challenge I would shake when jumping a 50cm show jump I have now got over 90cm with no shaking but still only jumping courses of 70cm the majority in the BE80 will be 80cms with a couple of 85cm, so still a bit to go, then I have to combine both fears in the cross county section open fields and 80cm solid jumps.
The one part am feeling ok about is the dressage but still have loads to work on there as well.
At last but not least I hate people watching me so show grounds aren't my favourite place to start with.
How is this a challenge for Zak?
When hacking Zak to keep him fit sometimes he is like a donkey and in this case when I get off him I can't walk for a week as he is a lot of horse to push up the Pentlands or he thinks he is a race horse and I just have to hang on with a smile on my face praying for l
Zak loves jumping it's his favourite pass time, and gets so excited that he will continually buck in the warm up arena. He can jump well but he does have a big jump which is fab but doesn't help me lol therefore the reason he has and jump saddle with extra large leg rolls to keep me in
Zak puts out some beautiful moves in a dressage test unfortunately just not what is asked for.
So as you can see this is going to be a real challenge for both of us.
So please help me support Hannah's charity.
