Poplar
Place Report
After such horrible weather at Fair Hill, Poplar Place Horse Trials in mid-November was absolutely beautiful!! Deacon, in the 2*, had a nice dressage test and clear jumping on a long and tough XC, but some time penalties. I was very happy with him. We ended up in 13th place out of about 31 competitors and, most importantly, we now have our qualification to run a 3* next year! Thomas had a nice go in his first Novice (and only second trial). He did have stops at a very big ditch, but he was quite brave then and decided he could do it ("I think I can, I think I can..."). Unfortunately, at the first horse inspection, the vet detected an abnormality in Finny's heartbeat. We worked together with the vets to monitor him, but decided to withdraw him until we could get things checked out. We headed to Rood & Riddle's Cardio expert the following week, and she pronounced Finny super fit and "normally abnormal" (yeah, that sounds like Finn) and good to go!! What a relief.
