Taihape Jumping Show

After getting covered yards because Briggs pushed over the temporary yards we had a reasonably good show. Everyone else was consistent.

Jasper won the 1m class, was second in the 1:10 and 4th in the mini prix. 

Potter ended up competing in the 90cm, finishing both courses. We felt that he and Korah needed to build confidence after he refused to finish the 1m height class. 

Lulu was good. Coming back from injury; she got caught in the fence before Dannevirke A&P, she did the 1:10 on Saturday for 8 faults (2 rails) and the first rail on Sunday in the 1:15.

Max was so good again. He had 8 faults (2 rails) in the 1:20 over a decent course and although had 5 rails in the Junior Rider on Sunday he was good. This class would have been 1:20-1:25 in height; highest either Bayly and Max had jumped!

Briggs had a much improved show on Dannevirke. He had one stop in the 1:10 in ring one on Saturday and although he had 2 stops on Sunday I think Sally held him up a bit instead on letting him get going. 

Wallingford Sports

Weather was dodgy but we still headed out to Wallingford. Track was very wet getting in and we had to be towed in. Kindy ring waited while we got towed in and was a good girl. She then was really good in both 50cm showjumping and show hunter jumps (Unfortunately we didn't get any videos).

Was a long wait for the girls for the 1m class. Korah attempted the wrong jump, and Jasper stopped anyway; we joked about him being able to count and knew not to jump it. He finished the rest of the course faultless. 

Max was double clear but not fast enough for a ribbon.

Briggs was double clear and took the win.

Got out without having to be towed.

Elsthorpe Sports

Just Jasper and Sunny with Korah and Fern today. Max had a tender cover rub and Sally in Christchurch at Ki o Rahi nationals.

Sunny did the kindy ring and two super showjumping rounds - 40cm and 50cm.

Jasper was good picking up 3rd in the 1m and 3rd in the 1:10 with one stop.
