Sydney Royal,
Poet's Corner is starting in Section 1 and Liz in the Junior.
Liz was 6th on the first day,she went well and finished only a 100th off a place,good one liz.
Poet was great day 1 to be third and today Easter Sunday he won the A2.
He has been jumping very well ,Saturday he had one down in the first round.
The courses designed by John Valance are testing enough, they make you think but at the same time good forward riding is needed to get under the time.
If you add in three lines you are on a time fault.
The footing at the Royal is very good as are many other facets of competing there.
Liz has two more classes and so do I.
EI, equine influenza has done us a favour at the Royal.
The hacks are on next week starting when we are finished.
The ring isn't really big enough with hack classes harness classes led classes and us so with only three events on at the same time we have more room to play with.
It had been a good decision from the Royal Ag Society.
More news and a pic coming tomorrow.
Colleen
Of course there is more room inthe lockers and riding areas

Congratualtions Colleen & Logan! A great round with some very positive riding, as Colleen was 3rd out she set the pace for the others to catch - only a couple were faster but they dropped rails. Jenny
