Having been short listed as one of Equo Events potential Brand Ambassador and a couple weeks of promoting ourselves to try and get the publics support and votes, we are now delighted to tell you that we have been chosen to represent the North West Area. Such a privilage to be involved with such a new and exciting company and also to have the opportunity to blog for Horse & Hound on a fortnightly basis. The support that Equo is going to give us in the way of entries and training is going to be an amazing help. Excited to get going now. Thank you to everybody that voted for us and to Equo and Horse & Hound for making the final decision to pick us as one of their Ambassadors. Well done to the other 4 Ambassadors #EquoBuddies
So just over a week ago Florence and I headed the 113 miles to Lincoln for the BRC National Championships. We were riding in 4 dressage tests and got rosettes in everything. First up was the Novice Riding Test where she did a foot perfect test for an amazing 91.36%...she led for some time but then three people crept up on us pushing us down to 4th. As a team Nantwich Riding Club also picked up 4th. Next was Novice 30. Again she did a foot perfect test but the judge was a little harsh only giving us 66.15% to put us in 9th. Then it was time for the Pairs with Hayley and Molly. Florence and Molly are a lovely little pair and they gained a very respectable 69.64% for a National Champs to finish up 7th. Not bad considering they had only worked together 4 times. And finally we had the Team of 6 for Nantwich. We only started training for that 2 1/2 weeks before and none of us had ever done anything like it before. So to end up 2nd was a great achievement. The team that beat us had apparently done it previous years and won, so very proud of ourselves. Not a bad days work 😀 |
