A fun morning in Wales with Percy today. We popped across the border to jump a couple of classes at the BS Senior Denbigh & Flint Show at Northop College. We jumped 2 double clears firstly in the 95cm Amateur and then in the Discovery. Yes we did it 💪🏼 after deciding last week that in move to plan B and not bother with Discovery double clears we got it!!!! Happy to come home with a 3rd and 2nd. Good boy Mr P 🥰💙 Such a fun and friendly show which despite being in Wales is actually one of the easiest journeys and only an hour away…perfect!!
It was Harriet’s first day at a pony club rally today since becoming a member. And what a fun way to kick start her pony club days. Marni was a little bit jolly and enjoyed her jumping a little too much today, putting in some big jumps but Harriet hung on in there. The trainer is given a rosette in each group to hand out to who she thought deserved it the most. Harriet was delighted to receive the rosette in her group and the reason for that was because she managed to stay on Marni’s big jumps and wasn’t put off.

A nice morning at South View for their BS show. Percy and I jumped in the 95cm Amateur class. He jumped super and was pretty quick in the long gallopy jump off course. Finished up 4th out of 25. On to the Discovery, which I need one more double clear in and I can see it’s going to haunt me. So much so I decided to scrap that plan and not try and get my double clears for the second rounds 😂 I was coming into the first fence thinking I don’t think the bell has gone, so I steadied up, then it went, so off we went 🙈 I should have taken a moment and done another circle before starting but didn’t, so in a little bit of a flap and he was strong and just tapped the 3rd fence out. Then I jumped the rest totally uncommitted and had another in the jump off where I got deep. Hind sight is a fine thing but I definitely should have taken another turn and got ourselves together before starting. Slapped wrist for me. Percy had fun and actually looking back at the video he jumped well. 👍🏼
Another super day yesterday for HRH Pony Adventures and Mrs Marni. We went to Springbank Arena for the second time. They jumped a clear round and then the first class which they were clear in so into the jump off for another clear and 4th place out of 13. I was incredibly chuffed with both of them. 3 rounds, all clear and no diva moments from Marni. I love that Marni is really starting to understand that at this stage she just needs to trot and pop, not do these big exuberant jumps that she can stick in. Such a great venue to encourage the little ones to get going. Kublox #kubloxnextgeneration Aldford Apparel Ltd

Decided to go for a jolly and start in the 90 open having not jumped for a few weeks. He was super cool and flew round, but was ultra responsive to me and turned up super tight on two occasions in the jump off giving me a bit of an “eeeekkkk” moment 🙈 but was a total dude and came home clear over 8 seconds faster then any other combination in either section giving us a clear win 🏆 Then in the Discovery he jumped a super round but was super unlucky to have the first fence in the jump off so we just kept the handbrake on and popped round. But I did one super long one, should have just rode it like a normal round and let him take me 😂
Wait for the til you see the video for my “eeeekkk” moment. @hassall294 gives it away in the video as to where it is 😂 #beep #mrprecision #sporthorse #cowpony #homebred #horsesofinstagram #kittedoutbyShires #TeamShires (Shires Equestrian) #FedonEquerry (Equerry Horse Feed) #saddledbyAdamEllis (Adam Ellis Saddles) #PhysiowithNWVP (Northwest Veterinary Physiotherapy) #ChampionRider (Champion Equestrian Wear) #shelteredwithExcelClad (ExcelClad Stables and Shelters) #clippedbythemasters (Masterclip Clippers UK) #BeddedOnConcord (Concord Equestrian) #trainedwithmirrors (Mirrors for Training) #travelledinstylewithElite (Elite Coachworks & Horseboxes Ltd) #floatingonFlexiride (Equestrian Direct Surfaces) #housedatDodcott (Dodcott Grange Stables) |
