North Island Show Jumping Championships

Had to take the truck and the horse float this weekend. Managed to get the day off work to attend all 3 days of the championships in Foxton. This was Bayly's first outing on Briggs. We had a very mixed weekend. All three girls had very unlucky falls and then picked up a couple of rails. 

Briggs was double clear in the 80cm on Friday, bucked Bayly off in the 90cm on Saturday and then got 6th in the 95cm on the Sunday.



Tommy had 4 faults in the jump off in the 1m, 12 faults in the 1.10 (2 phase) on Friday, 16 faults in the 1.10, 8 faults in the 1m on Saturday and 8 faults in the 1.10 on the Sunday. 


Bella had the "don't boss me around attitude" at the weekend with a couple of soft stops & a very unlucky rail in the 75cm on Sunday.



Potter was a star again! He was 5th in the 80cm & 7th in the 90cm on Friday, 8th in the 80cm & 10th in the 90cm on Saturday and 7th in 95cm on Sunday. So very consistent this combination.

This is the 95cm jump off


Jasper had 4 faults in the 1:15 & 8 faults in the jump off of the 1:10 on Friday, & a rail in the speed 1.20 on Saturday with 12 faults in the mini prix 1.15-1.20 on Sunday (Sally injured foot)



A mixed bag for Gem this weekend. 4 faults in the 90cm on Friday, 5th in the 90cm on and then an unfortunate fall in the 1m on Saturday (tripped on the top rail of the B in the double), 12 faults in the 1m on Sunday and 4 faults in the 95cm on Sunday. Unfortuntaely no photos or video of Gem over the weekend.
