Our first Show Jumping competition was BCA in February where Holly Carter, Matt Hick and Rhia Honey all posted a double clear although they were large classes and they were not placed. Our next competition was our own at Bournefield we had many of you out which was really pleasing, too many to mention here most had just 4ft but the following all posted double clears Justin Brown, Piers Flawn Thomas, Rebecca Mayle and Leonora Smee. We then attended the Vine SJ at Newbury Showground where again we had many of you out on this occasion the poles kept falling (must have been the wind) but Rhia Honey managed to post a double clear in the team competition and Alice White and Zoe Uttley gained double clears in the individual class, and Rhia had just 4 faults following a nasty slip on the corner causing everyone to close their eyes and prey for the pony to find her 5th leg which she did. We then went to BCA for the Area qualifier, on this occasion we had two teams and two individuals (brilliant turnout again) but sadly luck was not on our side and poles were falling more often than not but everyone had a lovely day and there was a fantastic team spirit.I had a marvellous year and would like to thank the children and their parents; it was a pleasure to co-ordinate this level because there was such camaraderie and support for each other. Keep up your training in 2009 and I wish you every success whichever level you are competing at.
