all day thursday the yard was a hive of activity. all 25 team members were taking ponies to howe equestrian centre to practice their showjumping.. everyone looked super smart in their new uniforms, and made a huge effort to have their ponioes gleaming too. 5 trailors and the 8 horse lorry headed of followed by a convoy of parents and supporters. team A rode first, all jumping clear and then clear again in the jump off. we then had a bit of a practice with some tight turns in the jump off and finished off with jumps at 1.10m well done team A. team B were next to go, with some of these members never having been to a show all hands were on deck to make sure everyone got a clear round, and made it successfully round the jump off course. with a huge cheer form the audience everyone completed the course. team c were last to go. none of these members have competed before, leah d was a great sport and ran the course a few times on her feet to allow the ponies to follow her, team A were on hand to cheer support at every fence . with smiles all round everyone completed their practice fences and made it round the clear round. well done to all competitors and a huge thanks to all helpers and supporters. we will be looking to do this again soon as it was such a great night. big thanks to charlie and jill for the use of their centre and opening the cafe to feed our hungry hoards.
