SDPOC - 4/4/10










SDPOC AT MESSINGHAM - 4TH APRIL 2010.

























Happy Easter Everyone!

Here is the show report from this Sunday with lots of pictures and the videos will eventually follow.

Well everything was still very exciting after qualifying for trailblazer finals was still fresh in my mind. None the less we headed down to Messingham pony owners show.

The first class we jumped was pairs with my sister. We both had a pole down which resulted in 5 secs each been added on and our time was 87.77sec. We didnt think we could place with this time but it was good to jump as a warm up class. However nobody faired much better and we ended up a respectable 5th.

Then I jumped in the pre intermediate which has a timed section in the first round, I went clear and had a time of 19 seconds. I ended up 3rd and very happy with how Jayde had been going.

Then finally I jumped the intermediate. Jayde was also very good but clipped two poles, but it gave me some confidence about her jumping. I am looking forward to the next show so much.

Talk to you soon.

Horseworld EC 28/03/10


HORSEWORLD EC 28/3/10 - TRAILBLAZER 2ND ROUND COMPETITION...

The first show of 2010 and probably one of the most important at Horseworld EC. I had been practicing relentlessly at last minute hoping my efforts would pay off at this second round comp.

We arrived in plenty of time which makes a nice change, and we had chance to get a feel for Horseworld EC and the showing atmosphere after 5 months off.

Jayde seemed pretty hyper when in the warm up arena and I asked for some direction off my sister in my riding. I walked the course and the arena was made up like I'd never seen it before, Flowers, trees and all kinds of decoration and I got the feeling it was going to be a special day.

When Jayde went in something clicked and we went round clear... Click here to watch. The first part of the job was done. Now to place in the top 6 to qualify.

I went in the jumpoff and just had one pole down. Click here to watch. This performance left me in 5th position and thus I have qualified for the national trailblazer finals in July. Woop. I am so excited!!!!

Be in touch Soon.
