SHELFORD BE100 EVENT VLOG // We have some work to do pre-Osberton!

So here it is, Star's final full event prior to Osberton 1-star. A rare day where the result perhaps overplays reality! But the main thing is that we had fun and identified some areas to work on ahead of our first international event together.

Can't wait to see him tackle the 1*! Hes such a sensitive soul but so talented. Well done on the placing even if it wasn't the day you wanted! Xx

Also saw you in the background of Evie's video. Some days are a bit meh. But clear show jumping and cross country, so all is good.

Your mum is so cute 😢😂😂😂 Hey, sometimes we aren’t up for things some days and maybe he was just having one of those days!! You still did amazing. Fab vlog as always 😁🤍

Don’t be so hard on your self Flo, you are smashing it with your wonderful boys and it’s a pleasure to share the journey with you ❤

Well done Flo, you still did very well! He probably had other things lined up for today, and then you've dragged him off in a box for hours!! 😏🐎 Luckily horses are so forgiving, he'll be different tomorrow! 😉🐴 Also you've had your mindset altered from the dressage, which will colour all your reactions to yourself and him. Sometimes you have to just go with the flow! 👍🏻😎

Just shows that horses ( lol and riders ) are not machines! You just hope that some of the time you are in sync together ❤❤. Loved the vlog and well done to you both on 6th 😊

[@jesshughes2767]

can't wait for the Osberton vlog !

[@Katherinekirbydressage]

Well done Flo!

[@annejarvis7002]

You & Star did really well, Flo. You both came home safe & you placed within the top ten🎉🎉. We can all have our off moments. Seeing Star do a fabulous piaffe before entering the start box was awesome - he just loves cross-country. Your Mum is so lovely, what an incredible support. Try not to be so hard on yourself. Star has improved so much with dressage. Onto the next. You ride beautifully and are doing a fantastic job with your horses. Love your vlogs (& Evie's)🤗

[@patriciaemms1902]

That was a good result, you can't get it all right all the time, and dressage is very much judge dependent, ( also centre lines) lol 😂xx

[@Jennie_642]

well done Flo, although you were disappointed with your dressage that shows how much progress youve made with Star, if you had done test a year ago you would have been so thrilled that he kept it together, keep going i know it can be extra disappointing when you know you can do better but thats competing and horses!

[@flocartereventing]

That is very true indeed, you’re right! It shows just how far Star and I have come in the last year which is definitely a positive :)

[@Mints_Equestrian]

You are too hard on yourself! It looks great ❤🎉 well done f or 6th!!

[@qvmarlins3506]

Saw you in ELS vlog, going around dressage in background of her video. She said nice things about you. Aren’t eventers the best?!

[@flocartereventing]

It was nice to meet her, she’s really lovely and I appreciated her top tip pre-dressage!

[@littleredhen2143]

Congratulations on your 6th place 🎉You are such a positive person! and it was a good idea to go to Shelford and find out what aspects to ' tweak' before Osberton. Both you and Star are an amazing team, look forward to the next vlog!

[@flocartereventing]

Thank you so much! Exactly - choosing to look at it as more of a practise run, now we have our homework set!

The 3 hour trip may have knocked poor Star a little he definitely did not look willing to go forward he might have had a bit of a gut ache - he looked a bit better for the SJ
