Taupo Pony Christmas Classic Extravaganza

 First time this show has been held & because school finished for myself & Sally on Friday (Bayly & Korah finish on Tuesday) we decided to go. Went up Friday night & competed Saturday & Sunday. Was a great couple of days. Sally & Bayly both got to jump indoors.

Jasper (indoors) jumped in the 1:15 for 8 faults in the 2nd phase, the 4 bar, where he unfortunately went out in the second round (the waiting around indoors was too much for his ADHD), he had 8 faults in the 1:10 & 12 faults in the mini prix.

Gem (indoors) did a double clear in the 95cm, had 3 rails in (a very big 1:05), 4 faults in the jump off of the 90cm & 3 rails in the 1:00 (Sally just chased her a little too much in this class).

Ellie (indoors) had 4 faults in the 2nd phase of the 85cm & 4 faults in the jump off of the 90cm.

Blondie had 4 faults in the 80cm & the 90cm & double clear in the 75cm.

Sunny had 4 faults in the 55cm, finished 5th in the 50cm & 10th in the 60cm. She was a handful in the showhunter ring this weekend.

Bella went double clear in the 65cm. She finished 4th in the 50cm & 11th in the 60cm. She was a handful in the showhunter ring this weekend too (didn't like all the Christmas tinsel!)

Feed Time

Feilding I A&P Show

Full truck load to Manfield, Feilding on Saturday for the show. Kept Jasper in the 1:10 classes, grand prix full height this weekend & indoors, so didn't enter. Gem & Ellie jumped a full height 1.05 really well. Blonde jumped 75cm & 85cm (but no photos).

Korah rode Sunny & Bella in the showhunters.  No ribbons this week but both ponies went well against very good ponies & big entries.

Jasper was 3rd in the Table C 1.10 & then won the 1.10 Championship. 

Ellie & Bayly were 7th in the 95cm and just had 4 faults in the 1.05 to finish 7th.

Gem jumped in the 95cm for 4 faults in the jump off to finish 9th & was 4th in 1.05 with 8 faults in the jump-off
