Trent Valley Novice Christmas Show - December 2007

Having picked the wettest, coldest day of the year off we went!!!  Sindoor travelled well to her first "party" and after being the tiniest bit excited to start off with for 5 minutes settled really well to the job in hand!!!  She went into the indoor arena quietly and calmly and after a little peep at the first fence she jumped a lovely clear round. 

Tracey and Magic jumped two clear rounds in the "Clear Round" class.

Sindoor went in the clear round once more as nicely as before then as the first class was a pairs class we decided she could jump round with her friend Magic.  

Babs and Sindoor rode their clear round first nice and quietly, then passed the batton to Tracey and Magic who also went clear but as we didnt want either to chase times against the clock they were really thrilled to come in at 4th place.  Sindoor and Magic both felt very important to be in the prize giving.  Oh and of course Babs and Tracey!!!!!

Tracey and Molly's One Day Event

Osberton Estate - 19th February 2006 - EMDG

After all her hard work, family and friends joined Tracey and Molly to complete her one   day event successfully.  Tracey rode a careful and correct dressage test gaining 40.5, she followed  her dressage with a super showjumping round, unfortunately just rolling a pole at  the second to last.

 

After a touch of butterflies at the start of the cross country phase,  which unfortunately  caused  a couple of stops, she powered home looking fantastic over the rest of the course

              

Well done to you both!!!!!!!

Pictures of Beach Ride......

              

A brilliant day was had by all at Anderby Creek on the Lincolnshire Coast, all five of the     children survived to tell the tale after galloping up the beach and paddling in the sea.  The         weather didnt try hard to please but the rain did dry up to drizzle and most of us ended up        soaked after paddling in the sea!!!!

              

Harry, Goblin and Sally had the pleasure of the trip and coped with the new surroundings with amazing sensible attitudes and with a little encouragement managed to paddle!!!!  Even though there were obviously horse eating waves!!!!

               

After having a great time we all retired back to the lorry to feast on sandwiches, coffee and cakes - definately all the adults deserved them!!!!!!

          

We will visit the beach again!!!!  All are welcome to come.....
