MESSINGHAM PONY OWNERS FINAL SHOW 2007- 09/09/07-

Sunday the 9th of September, another show for us and we travelled as planned to messingham pony owners, the show field looked quite busy and the classes were running a bit late so we had plenty of time to relax and inspect before the competition.

We were entered in 2 classes each, the pairs class and the intermediate, for me if time permitted because i was working that night. It was our first pairs class and we weren't sure how either of the horses would react at the change over in this speed class, both horses went really well and we fought off 20 other pair teams to take sixth place, a lovely triumph for our first pairs together. I then had to leave for work leaving leona to jump molly and jayde in the intermediate. Molly went round ok and came back with 12 faults i think and jayde who is on form went round clear until the last fence which she breathed on and it fell. Quite a successful day and definately a confidence boost for this weekend.

This weekend i've gotten down to train Weds, where both horses were shod and i rode both of them jumping in the school, then after college on thurs we got down to take all 3 out and today i expect we'll be jumping or hacking out before going to walk the course at bagmoor at two.

I've been really busy since getting back to school with all the work i've gotten, and also ive been to the hospital to wear a heart monitor just for a ECG recording. But we're really hoping this weekend goes well for us, especially as we ride another pairs class.
