october show

well the weather held out for the show and we all managed to stay dry. All the competitors had a good day and i think everyone went home happy with at least one rossette. Winner of the best rider 10 years and under was Olivia Brown, and the best rider 11 years and over was Jade Edmund. congratulations to both. All three jumping classes went well and we had some exciting jump offs with some very fast times too. The pony club games are always good fun and as usual everyone joined in, the relay race ran fine however the potato and spoon race and the obstacle race involved a bit of cheating lol lol. We had to award a couple of special awaards to paula for being the oldest rider.........and to emma calder for being the most stylish faller offer!!!!!!!!! points were awarded all day and the overall points champion was Olivia Brown with Rosie.well done. Big thanks to Ann Thompson for coming along to judge and to all the friends and family who came along to support the competitors.

crimbo!!!!!!!!!!!!

okay, okay,!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i know its a bit early but, if anyone has any ideas of stuff to do during the christmas hols then let me know. we will do all the usual stuff like pony loan and pony days but if you fancy doing something a bit different then leave me a comment or two, and i will see what we can come up with.

cowboy and indians

well what a laugh we all had on sunday afternoon as all the clients appeared on the yard dressed as cowboys/girls and indians. i am sure the chicken shop must have been sold out!!!!!!!!!!with everyone split into two rides we set off around the loch in opposite directions searching for WANTED posters, and armed with water pistols and hundreds of stickers. when both rides were in site off each other there was a stand off as each team worked out a strategy. nobody wanted shot or stickered!!!!!!!!!!!jim, bethan, leah j, leah d, jade and paula set off around the bushes at a desperate rate off knots to try and catch each other. leah d ended up on her feet trailing her pony after her at one point and still nobody caught her.lol lol, it really was like a scene from penelope pitstop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!with lots of yee haaas each ride set off again on the route home, all made it home safely well nearly. a low branch on the kids ride meant that anyone on anything bigger than a 12.2 would have to try a bit of limbo................ unfortunately for rebecca her pony tara is 13.2..............hee hee well you can guess the rest. back at base, camp cook robert had the beans and sausages ready as everyone was starving!!!!thanks to all who attended it really was great fun, and is set to be another activity for our annual calander
