As a bonus I hit a few other targets on the way round, but think my winter homework will need to include nocking under pressure practice as that has definitely let me down this weekend 🤣
Overall very happy and very tired now!

After a slightly hairy non-shooting run I had a plan, and the plan worked out - we kept to the course and went within the time (first goal) and we jumped and hit the jump shot (second goal) 🎉

of ideas in Gauchoux to really test us and got us the first jump shot on a UK hunt track!
A significant amount of the track was unfenced which meant there would be plenty of riding to be done and some tactical decisions over shooting or steering in places 😅

running and pulling up, for the most part without even using the neck strap 😊
Today was the important day, to put to the test my Historical Eurasian Cavalry Discipline and riding training on the hunt track.
Only Monkey's second hunt track, and although at 2* level Helen Kate had picked up lots

the best part was just the feeling of trust and connection with Monkey doing something that would have been so far out of our comfort zone even last year 😁

the riding, but I was confident dropping the reins and letting Monkey get on with his job so managed to shoot 13 arrows each run.

Happily I did hit the long shot once which helped with the points and our Trec training came in handy for the stop/shoot from halt target, but really

our previous history of separation anxiety and inability to go off across a field on our own to 'do a thing' 🙈
But he was so good for both Dom and myself in the warm up this morning and went on to run all four of his runs well (2 with each of us). My shooting wasn't the best as I was focused more on

Thanks

A shoutout to Csanád Dániel (Némethy Horseback Archery Academy, Hungary) on Kuba who won the match overall, riding in the junior experienced category.

Thanks to all the entries in this match from the UK, Luxembourg and Hungary.

who was the top scorer in the walk postal match in the iHBA category.
Congrats also to Thibault Botman (D'Arc Angels, Luxembourg) on Quartz who was highest in the adult - beginner category & to Denis Notarnicola (D'Arc Angels, Luxembourg) on Jack who got the top score in the junior beginner category

Yay. Good to see you here.
That's 3 accounts now with HBA interests. A few more & we can get a starter pack going 😁

Yay.

I will clarify so there's no confusion, I run the account, but I'm just a cheerleader for Ros & Monkey, who wants to try & bolster SM presence for all HBA.
Here's hoping we find some more.

If we get enough, I can then get a starter pack going as it requires a minimum number of people.

Woohoo 🏹🎯
Great to hear from you.
