Another super day at Springbank Arena. Harriet and Mrs Marni and Mummy all jumped in the first class. A great clear in the first round followed by a super jump off. We cut corners we never thought possible but our competitive side came out having watched the first pony go and take some awesome lines. We took the same route just a little slower to take 3rd, partly cause I wouldn’t keep up with Marni if I let her go any faster and partly because I’m trying to make sure my jockey is still onboard 😂😂😂 We have so much fun at this venue but my word these classes are getting competitive, all in a good way though 🥰🤩
I love this boy 😘 When I was driving to Reaseheath Equestrian Centre in a horizontal blizzard I was questioning my sanity….but fast forward a couple of hours and this was my answer!! He tries so hard for me and we have such a giggle. We had 2 double clears. Firstly in the 95cm amateur and he was knocked into 2nd place by the tiniest margin of 0.01 seconds!!! Don’t think I’ve ever had such a close result. Then we jumped the 1.05m amateur and he was ace taking 1st place. Fun times 🤩
Almost a really successful day for HRH Pony Adventures and Mrs Marni at the Nantwich RC SJ at Alsager. They won the first class but then altough we had a good time in the second class which was good enough for 2nd we were penalised because Marni jumped her out the saddle and I had to catch her to stop her falling so we were joint 4th ☹️ I didn’t realise you aren’t allowed to help them stay in the saddle 🙈 Harriet is going to have to learn quicker to hang on herself or she gets to eat dirt!!! 🙈😂
What another fun morning we had at Springbank Arena on Sunday, despite me getting in from a ball at 4am I still managed to get out on the yard for 7am to muck out all the horses, get Marni ready, the kids up and run round the course 3 times!!! 💪🏼 Mrs Marni was totally cool and Harriet gets better and better. We had a lovely steady clear round, then jumped the first class clear to get into the jump off and jump quite a competitive round with some tight turns and a little bit of canter to take 4th out of 13. Super proud of the pair of them, and myself to be honest, although it has taken me 4 days to write this post 😂😂😂 Daddy and Ted were also in tow and behaved themselves quite well. Daddy gets bonus points for getting us all crinkly chips and cheese after we had finished. Such a fun friendly venue, but don’t be fooled because all the parents are super competitive. 😂😂😂
