Toot Arrives

Rebecca Greaves has asked if Sally would ride her horse Toot (Titoki) over the summer for her. She doesn't want him sitting in the paddock doing nothing all summer, so today we went out to Pongaroa and picked him up and had a little jump play. 

DDPC Gymkana

Fern rode Sunny in the kindy ring this morning with the help of Bayly and then in the afternoon, with the help of Sally, rode in the 30cm and 40cm encouragement jump.

Korah rode Jasper in the 90cm and the 2 fence challenge

Sally rode Briggs in the 90cm and the 2 fence challenge

Bayly rode Max in the 80cm and the 90cm

Young Horse Show - Hawkes Bay

First time attending the Young Horse Show. We just took Maggie and Tommy this weekend, just the Saturday & Sunday, not Thursday and Friday as well. Was a very relaxing weekend.

Maggie did the Junior Rider on Saturday and had a number of rails. Quite out of character but maybe because it was her first class of the weekend. Previous Junior Riders had been her second start or not at the maximum height. Still very happy with her and Sally. They got 8/75 in the 1:10 Saturday afternoon and had 2 rails in the jump off of the 1:15 on Sunday.

Tommy jumped well all weekend. Had 4 faults in the 1m and 16 faults in the 1:10 in the afternoon. On Sunday Bayly and Tommy had 8 faults in the 1:05. Coped with the related lines and doubles with ease this weekend. 

Rewa Sports

First time attending this sports meeting. We had a great day. No Korah today, she had netball trials. 

Maggie was 3rd in the 1:15 and 4 faults in the 1:20.

Sally rode Briggs today in the 90cm and was clear in the first round with 4 faults in the jump off (a rail at the first)

Bayly rode Tommy in the 1:05m for 8 faults and the 1:10 for 8 faults. Much better with the related lines and the combinations today. 

Feilding I A & P Show

Just Saturday for us today, worked on Friday. Everyone on board today, although Jasper didn't start as he trotted up lame (a bump to his splint).

Potter had 4 faults in the first round of the 1:10m, only two clear rounds. He tried his heart out today.

Tommy had 4 faults in the jump off of the 1m after having an unhappy time in the 1:10m today. 

Maggie had 2 rails (8 faults) in the 1:15-1:20 but jumped well. 

Nigel rode Briggs today in the 90cm classes. Had 4 faults in the first class and 8 faults in the second class.
