Well Done Helen and Banners! Huby and Sutton Show

Well yet another proud moment here at HQ! Helen Ellis and Banners, the latest addition to the team, have been training hard with me as well as doing their set homework in preparation for the Huby and Sutton Show on Sunday. 
Helen entered Banners into the in-hand class where he behaved impeccably and was placed 6th in a very large class. Then they went on to compete in another large class, the Racehorse to Ridden class. Banners went  beautifully producing a great ridden show and he even gave the judge a great ride. Helen was worried about the gallop as Banners has been enjoying this a little too much in practice, however on the day Banners was on his best behaviour! They didn't get placed this time, however a much improved show piece and all round a fantastic day out! Well Done Helen and Banners.....now on to your next adventure!

Huge congratulations and carrots to Linsey and Dylan for competing on their own today! Linsey took Dylan to the Jodphurs Dressage Competition this morning to face a class of 12 competitors. I decided to leave them to go it alone today as I felt they are ready. 
Well it certainly paid off.....Linsey called to tell me they came 4th!! What a great result! I am feeling very proud as they have worked so hard to get to this point and its starting to pay off. 

Next mission is the Championship in October then to tackle a Prelim test......watch this space!

He's done it again!! Both Dylan and I competed in our very first One Day event at Selby and District Riding Club!!!
We started with a dressage test, which Dylan found very exciting as there were lots of other horses out and about. Not our best, but a good effort! Really great comments from the judge, Andrea Peel, including " A Super obliging Cob"
Then we went on to Dylan's very first Show Jumping course....he went clear and really seemed to enjoy this round! Even cantering some of the course!
Finally we had the Cross Country Phase....well that was so much fun!!! We had 19 jumps to clear, we knocked 2 down. However we have never done Cross Country together so I was so proud of him. We faced a water tray (which produced a huge jump from Dylan), a few skinny jumps, tyres and even flags! Dylan was happy to give them all a go and even had canters in between to make up our time! We do have videos and more piccys to upload soon, this one is us at the start of the day!
I must say a huge thank you to Dylan's owner Linsey Rowbury who allowed me to take Dylan out and provided hot coffee and delicious egg sandwiches! And thank you to all of those that came to support, especially Gill Dodsworth for holding my many layers so I could cool down following Cross Country!
And finally the result....we came 2nd!!! We were beaten by my very own Sponsored rider Tracey Elcock on Beaver. A worthy win with only one jump down in the Cross Country! Well done Tracey!
