Waipukurau Waipawa Sports

 Full truck today with Jasper, Maggie, Briggs, Tommy, Potter and Sunny all on board. Weather held nicely, although it was a little cooler than it had been all week. All the girls rode very well today.

Potter was a super star, winning in the call back jump off against a strong field. With the win they got a trophy and a Canter for Cancer sponsored rug.




Jasper was a class winner too. He won the 90cm class with Korah and then went on to jump his first 1:10 since being injured. Very happy with his effort today.



Maggie was in the winning circle again this weekend getting 3rd in the 1:10 and then had one rail in their first 1:20 start. 


Tommy jumped much this weekend, having 2 rails in the 1m class and 2 rails in the 1:10.


Nigel rode Briggs this weekend. He had 8 faults in the 90cm but happy to have him go around looking happy and keen to jump. 

Fern and Sunny picked up a handful of ribbons in the kindy ring today.

Central Hawkes Bay A&P Show

Just Saturday for us this weekend, worked Friday. Briggs, Tommy, Potter, Jasper and Maggie on board. Not many videos today.

Maggie had 2 rails in the Junior Rider and then was 2nd in the 1:10 class in the afternoon.

Korah rode Jasper this weekend. Was very nervous and jumped the wrong jump in the 90cm and then in the 1m class the girth was not tight enough and Korah fell when the saddle slipped in the double.

Potter was 5th in the 1m Liddy Memorial class 

Bayly has lost a little bit of confidence and had a little bit of trouble on Tommy but got him round both the 1m and 1:10 classes.

Manawatu A&P Show

We weren't in the first classes on Saturday so just went over Saturday morning and stayed the night for Sunday's competition as well. Five on board this weekend. Sally rode Maggie & Jasper, Bayly rode Briggs and Tommy and Korah rode Potter. 

Maggie did 2 clear rounds at 1:10 and just 8 faults in the Junior Rider. Again very pleased with how well Sally rode her and how well Maggie went. She was 6th on Saturday in the 1:10 and 8th in the Junior Rider.

Sally rode Jasper too quietly in the 1m class on Saturday for 2 stops but they came to life on Sunday in the 1m class going double clear for a 6th placing.

Tommy jumped well, however Bayly had trouble with one line that seemed to stay in the same spot all weekend. 

Briggs went double clear in the 80cm and 90cm on Saturday and then double clear again on Sunday in the 80cm. 

Potter was again the star of the truck, picking up two placings a 2nd and a 4th for 3 starts, all at 1:10. Was 5th in the 1:10 champ on Sunday.
