What an epic 2 days at Onley Grounds Equestrian Centre for the Winter Classic BS Show.
So happy with how all the boys jumped! *9th, 5th, 6th, 3rd, Winner Winner*
Day 1:
'Interlaken W' owned jointly by myself and Nicky Bennell, having just technically turned 6yo, felt very grown up for a lovely D/C In the Newcomers for 9th. He then made the big step up to jump a great Foxhunter round with just a couple of green poles in the Blue Chip Qual.
'Trendy Captain Clover' owned by Antonia Kaye and Milly Kaye had his first outing since Blenheim, jumping the 2nd fastest round in the Blue Chip Qualifier just having really unlucky pole at the last.
'Harley H' owned by Kevin Twittey pinged his was around the 1.20 Open adding just a pole to his round. He then went on to jump well in the Grade B class, but a couple of costly poles.
'Silver Lining X' Owned by Claire Foster was the star of the day proving Mr Consistent, a super speedy D/C in the huge Blue Chip Qual class saw him finish in 5th place and earning his spot in the championship!!
Then jumped yet another cool D/C in the Grade C class to finish 6th and qualifying him for the Championships at Stoneleigh!!
Just when I thought the show couldn't get any better..
Day 2:
'Echo P' owned by Rachael Sheppard started the day with a quick D/C In the Newcomers to finish 3rd!
The 6yo boys 'Interlaken W' and 'Time To Cavort' jumped in their first class to try to obtain a 6yo qualification, sadly having a couple of poles but they have both learnt so much from an educational track ready for next time!
To finish off a great and educational show 'Echo P' was certainly on form. A huge Foxhunter track that he embraced with over 60 starters he jumped a class round to take the win!!!!
So many thank yous to Owners, Grooms, Family, Friends and sponsors and everyone for all of your support and help with keeping the boys on top form!
