 10th May 2008 - Rupert & Obie's first steps

This year is the first year Steve & Sue have used Rupert and Obie in competition - this is their first attempt at dressage, not the whole thing, it takes about 10 minutes - they came fifth out of 12 which wasnt a bad showing.  They just need to learn to stand still.  I am still always impressed how much grace and skill these huge horses are capable of.  Check out the one hand circle - it isnt perfect as Steve had to put his hand to the reins but as a first attempt it is pretty good.
