Wellington Horowhenua Showjumping & Showhunter Championships

Everyone on board this weekend again. Only the Saturday competing for us; Sally & Bayly left for school camp at Curious Cove very early Sunday morning. Lots of ups and downs today.

Gem was the super star. Sally is riding her very well at the moment. Gem was 5th in the 90cm pony and then Sally tells me there were two 'ganster' corners (that no one else in the class did) in the jump-off to get 7th. Today there were just too many gallopers for her to be rewarded. I remind Sally we have no term goals of jumping higher!

Potter was very good today too. He was double clear in the 90cm and had a rail in the jump-off of the 1m. Korah gets a little nervous in the 1m and needs to remember to let him move forward more. 

Tommy was in a funny mood today. He had been in the wars through the week but seemed to be okay. He didn't get a warm up round at 1m and started in ring 2 at 1:10. Tough ride for Bayly today but she rode him well. 

Bayly nervous starting Briggs. No 80cm warm up round today but they started so well. Just lost some concentration after the double and Briggs stopped. Otherwise a definite step forward today.

Bit gutted with how Sally rode Jasper today. He started in the 1:10 and Sally wasn't concentrating properly (lots contributed to this including having to go out of draw order because others were not ready) and he stopped at the 2nd jump. He jump super apart from that.
