Dressage 4th May 2009

It was good to see all members attending and luckily the rain stayed away. The winner of the first class Charlotte Edwards on Missy,  has shown that it is well worth all the hard work over the winter months as last season they had trouble even getting around the arena.
 
The prelim 18    was a strong class with only 8 marks difference from 1st to 5th place, the winner Carolyn Basham and Jenni Burgess 3rd showed that the ex racehorses still have a flair for competting even off the racecourse.
 
This Event was well organised by Jeanette Coleman and thanks must also go to  Brana Charkham for judging and giving  lovely words of support to the competitors. The next event is  Showjumping and a Fun Gymkhana  on the 17th May at the  clubs field at Ford.

Dressage 15th feb 2009

Our first dressage competition of the year was held at Boxgrove Competition Stables by kind permission of Mrs N.V Brooks.
I'm sure everyone enjoyed using the fabulous facilities, which are  availible to hire, indoor and outdoor schools plus full set of showjumps, if interested call Melissa Brooks on 01243 773255 or 07789 001530.

After the snow and ice and not to mention rain, the weather was very kind to us, even with a hint of spring in the air!!
Many thanks to our judges, Vicky Stock, Liz welch and Shelly Whitbuam, who kindly gave up precious spare time to come and judge for us!! Also a big thank you to Emma Mcguire, Amanda Bazley and Ian and Dave, who between them ensured the day ran smoothly!!

All classes were very well attended! The walk and trot test and the prelim were very very popular classes, and it was great to see competitors have a go at the novice!!

The walk and trot test was as popular as ever with many good combinations forward! The winner was Marcella Craven riding her lovely cob Billy....In fact Marcella was grinning and dancing in the barn when she found out she had won
as it was her first competiton!! Well done Marcella - will we see you on strictly come dancing in the future??!!
Not far behind her was Charlotte Jones on General Monty.

The prelim was also hotly contested with the scores being very close indeed, the winner was Julie Taylor riding Marvin who redeemed himself from his previous day's escapades, involving sheep and electric fencing!! Well done Julie!! Steph McInnes did a lovely test to take second place with only 0.5 of a percent between the two scores!! Only 1% behind was Diana Bailey on Harvry's Pearl and we had three combinations tying in 4th place!!

The novice was a new class to the club's dressage event and it was wonderful to see people giving it a go!!
Sabrina Sharpe did a lovely balanced test on Blackwell Marmoset to win what was the first novice test she had ridden! Valerie Hall was close behind on her New Forest pony Wellow Ditton to secure second place.

It was lovely to see a real variety of horses and ponies out. We had some fabulous cobs and natives and some Thoroughbreds not long out of racing!!

Many thanks to those who attended and supported the club, and a huge well done to ALL who took part!!!!

We hope to be running our next dressage competition at the end of march on the club field - weather permitting!!!!!
watch this space!!
