THE SCURRY OF EAST SUSSEX 2023 | Our first Scurry completion!

So proud of my boy today who flew round The Scurry of East Sussex which was our second ever scurry and our first scurry completion😊
We sat right at the back and played it safe (much to Inky’s displeasure!!) as after our near miss at Cotswold the aim today was just to finish the course- and we did🎉
He felt incredible and finally have found a bit that gives me some brakes on him! Though we had a couple of wobbles at the start where we are both just getting used to the new bit (a waterford nelson gag). I’ve never had so much control on him before so now I don’t need to be constantly fighting him I can ride him a bit softer and allow him to move more into the fences! You can see where I held him too much and he told me off for it🙈 I tend to do it into the rails or wooden fences as opposed to the larger hedges, as they’re smaller and I get tempted to micromanage him.
We finished 24th/35, nothing impressive but I came over the last fence beaming to have just made it home😅 Thankyou to everyone who wished us luck and cheered us on!

He's so full of running and capable but yes learning to simply sit in behind him and allow him to take them on. He is awesome. Well done.

second!

[@rabbitofthefuture3234]

May I ask, when you say you're holding too much, could you please explain what exactly you mean? Have a fantastic day!

[@olivia4599]

When you’re holding the reins a bit tighter than normal (just when they get a bit excited)

[@kathleenschaubhut4174]

Congrats to you and Inky. Wondering if you have ever been checked for asthma? Keep up the great riding fun.

[@LilyEquestrian]

Yes as I said in the description I have asthma!

[@my_pal.omino_valentine]

Do are riders penalized if their horse refuses to a fence? Loved this video and Inky was a star as always x

[@LilyEquestrian]

No just slows you down! Thankyou

[@laurenschenck5355]

[@ilovekermit4557]

how does a scurry work with course walking? do you just walk before hand?

[@LilyEquestrian]

Yes!

[@user-ji5dh7sk9d]

Question, Why was he throwing his head around? (no hate or anything just curious )

[@Wedginold16]

I’m assuming it’s because he was eager to go and she didn’t want him to go too fast and hurt himself 😊

[@user-ji5dh7sk9d]

@@Wedginold16 maybe! I didnt think of that, thanks!

[@robynmorgan1325]

I couldn’t finish watching this!! Her breathing and I don’t think some of these horses aren’t suppose to be professional jumpers!

I have asthma
