AFHT: 1/3, a brief moment of glory, 1/3

Duke was great in dressage.  I rode him again without a whip, and although it was only our third best score (32.6), I felt like it was the most polished ride we've done so far.  John saw it from a distance and said that our right lead canter was good but a little stiff transition.
I had to miss both lessons before the show because of two cases at work, which was distressing, so I was a bit anxious about jumping.  And I only got to walk xc twice, again, because of work.  But it looked pretty straightforward to me - there were three "challenges" and I thought I knew how to ride them all.
In warm up, John told me that I could use the long straightaways to make up the time from slowing him down so he didn't slip in the grass, and if it was really slippery, just to get time penalties.  He said it was a course that rode with your hands low and in front of you.  Duke felt good to me, and John watched us do the oxer and then agreed, just leave it alone and go.  Here's how it went:
Fence 1 - roll top:  Jumped beautifully
Fence 2 - small table:  As expected, Duke skidded a little around the flower box, but I wanted him to feel the course was slippery early on so he'd self correct later.  He jumped this nice.
Fence 3 - roll top:  This was the first kind of challenging turn, and he skidded a little, so I was glad I'd used the flower box earlier to let him know to watch his feet.  This one is on video.
Fence 4 - short upright with fake plants on top:  I let him go forward on the road between #3 and #4, so we were a hair behind the time as we came out of the road, but I had him go really slow fences 1-3, so we made up a lot of the time in this one stretch.  Jumped beautifully.
Fence 5 - saw:  He was scared of it, and so I had to kick him and we jumped it at a bit of an angle.  Scared isn't right; he was just looky and kind of weaving around a bit on the approach.
Fence 6 - very long log to downhill:  Duke was mad that I kicked him, so he went charging up the hill and then was trying to ignore me turning him to this fence.  So our approach wasn't quite what I would have liked.
Fence 7 A/B - smiling log, two stride, ditch:  We jumped this pretty ok given our wrestling match to get to Fence 6 and then down a little hill.  He over jumped the ditch just a little.
Fence 8 - trakehener:  Nice canter up the hill to the trakehner.  Just hopped over it.  Here, I start to felt comfortable, like "we've got this".
Fence 9 - corner:  Duke went charging off down the hill and along the side of the big hill, and so we did a little bit of wrestling to bring him back because 9 kind of zooms up after a bit of a turn in the path.  He jumped it like it was no big thing.
Fence 10 - table:  No big deal.
Fence 11 - steeplechase:  I didn't get the line quite right; I wanted us to be going a little more right, but no big deal.
Fence 12 - log out of water:  Duke got uppity when we went between the two rocks, just like I expected, but didn't hesitate at all going into the water.  So we jumped this one out, where I wanted, to give us more space for the right hand turn.
Fence 13 - log with fake plants:  This was a hard right turn through some trees.  He was a champ.
Fence 14 - log to a downhill:  We ran up the hill, and I had to tell him to sit up because there was a hill after.  He didn't care, he was ready to go.  Jumped it great.
Fence 15 - A frame (?) on top of a hill:  He looked a little at the two prelim fences we had to go between, but no problem with the fence.
Fence 15B - A frame on right hand turn after hill:  He had no problem going down hill, making the right hand turn, and getting over the next one.
Fence 16 - whale tail:  We had a nice gallop across the grass, past a tree.  Approaching the whale tail, he hesitated, like he thought we were through, but when I gave him so leg he re-energized.  Jumped it like it was no big deal.  Didn't even blink at the tree in the middle.
Fence 17A/B - up/down bank:  He hesitated again on the way to the bank, but then moved on.  He had no issues with jumping up, one stride, jumping off.
Fence 18 - sushi:  This was down a hill, a left turn, and the jump was mid-way up an easy hill but sort of in the trees.  He felt like he was hesitating again here, like he wasn't sure if we were finished.  Maybe it was all the ropes and people?
Fence 19 - down bank into the water:  He didn't bat an eye, just lept into the water like he does it all the time.
Fence 20 - very wide table:  Soared over it.  He's a pegasus.
We were about 15 seconds faster than optimum time, and I was a lot more comfortable with the speed (450 mpm) than the other shows.  He wasn't grabby with the bit like he was at EI.

We moved from 8th (21) to 3rd because other people had trouble with cross country.
Then we blew it at show jumping.
He was a little stiff, so I spent warm up focused more on leg yields and counterbend in circles to get him loosened up.  I was having trouble with the timing (the class was fast, as it turns out), so I would move him, then walk, then move him, then walk, and he doesn't like that much.
We jumped three of the warm up fences fine (cross rail, vertical, little oxer).  Then I thought that I was way ahead of time, so I walked him, but it turns out I was just a rider away, so I did the big oxer, and he rubbed it a bit.
John got there just as we were about to go in, and he said to ride him assertively, not wait for him to do stuff.
Coming in:  he looked at the fences; I tried to let him see a bunch of them.
Fence 1:  Brown oxer; fine.
Fence 2:  Wishing well.  Rail.
Fence 3:  White vertical; puked?
Fence 4:  Big Aspen oxer; scramble because of puke on 3?
Fence 5A/B:  Tribal fence; fine.
Fence 6:  Halt cancer, yuck.  I don't know what happened, but the line was wrong and we puked over it.
Fence 7:  Seattle skyline, yuck.  We were scrambling to get back together and I made the angle to the fence wrong.
Fence 8 A/B:  Seahawks, meh.  I swooped us way out next to the rail to get back together after 7, and then we came in weak.  He got us out.
Fence 9:  Safari oxer, rail.  This seemed like it was going to be fine.  John says we got the rail because I saw the distance, but didn't commit to one more half halt, which would have been all we needed.
John said the first rail was just Duke not picking up his feet, but the second rail was his hind leg dragging over from the missing half halt.
We still came in 7th/21 but we would have been 2nd, so I'm disappointed.  I guess show jumping is his weakest, which will make me anxious every show because it'll be down to the wire.
I also thought his feet were a little too long (farrier kept them long last time, he's due for a shoeing on Wed, he's been forging a little bit for a couple weeks).
I guess given my distraction with work, this was pretty good for a little 7 year old and doofus me.
