JUMP CLUB COMPETITION DAY 20TH SEPTEMBER 09
We took 2 horses for Harry, 2 horses for Liz and on for me.
Harry rode Jane (no show name yet) in the 85cm and 95cm for three clear rounds and one fence down.
Good effort from them.
Harry rode Valondra in the 95cm and the 1.05m classes.
In the 95cm they won the prize for the jump off round closest to the optimum time.
Val jumped the fences easily, she is 17.1 hands.
It won't be long before she will be in the D grades.
Liz rode Ceasar and won the 1.10m form a hot field.She also rode Greenbah for two down.Liz is still getting to know him in the ring.
In the 1.20m class Liz had a fault in the jump off.Liz said it was her mistake so she was happy with him.
Greenbah was third in the 1.05m, last fence down in the jump off.
All good practice for the next three weekends in Canberra with the Youth Festival, State Champs and national Champs.
I rode in the D grade with Ladys First the little grey mare, we had the first fence down in the jump off. She jumped well and handled the size easily.I am ;looking forward to having a go at the speed in the next jump off I get into.
I am the driver, groom, cook, trainer for this weekend at Canberra.
Should be lots of fun, although there is a lot of walking to do,ugggh!
