Show at Orange

The Jump over the Mountain show in Orange is potentially a great one.
BUT the ground was hard the first day and despite some desperate watering overnight Sunday was slippery.
To add insult ,it rained for four hours making the ground treacherous.
There were a few hardy souls who fronted up to start but most packed their bags and left.
Liz and Ceasar went very well to be 5th in the Junior the first day and the slippery conditions thereafter allowed Ceasar to stay in the stable.
I rode in the 1.20m for a couple down Harry went around with the two young mares in the 105m and 110m. Some mistakes from inexperience kept him from being amongst the winners. We must keep going around for the miles as the experts say.
We look forward now to the Pony Club try outs for Sydney Royal and the following day the Equitation Champs at SIEC on the first weekend of November.
