14th October 2007 - Bagmoor Hunter Trial 2-
I cannot deny i was nervous after my fall at the last hunter trial at bagmoor but i was so much infact that for the novice pairs i took molly round instead of jayde, we did well having only 3 stops between us on the course and being only 0.3 secs off the winners time in clearing the time section, then in the novice individual we both had 20 pens each again we both cleared the time section and we had a lovely day and i even jumped off the drop which means i am now over my scare a few weeks ago.
The next show for us would be on the 28th October at Epworth Equestrian Centre for a hunter trial, also in my next update i will answer one of my reader's questions.

7th October 2007 - EDRC Hunter Trials...
We were very excited about the autumn epworth district riding club hunter trials and wanted to get out there and put some pressure on the other riders at the show, leona and i were competing in novice pairs and the individual intermediate class.
We arrived in plenty of time aand was enjoying chilling out whilst waiting for the competition when we got ready to ride there was a sudden rush to warm up because the class filtered through very quickly despite this we still rode very well having a quick time in the timed section and only getting 20pens on the main course, pleased with our performance we walked the horses to cool them off and went back to the trailer to rest before our next class.
Our next class was the intermediate i went round very well just having 20 pens at one fence due to jayde stumbling and ending up on top of the jump because unfortunately i didnt shorten her up enough but i didnt think i'd done very well, leona had two stops so we decided to call it a day and go home. A few days later we recieved a bulging envelope from EDRC to say that i had come 3rd club members in the intermediate and Leona was 4th, what a lovely surprise it was tofind out that we were both in the top 10 of the competition, we were very pleased.
Next week we would go to the second Scunthorpe pony club bagmoor hunter trial.

23RD SEPTEMBER 07- HILL HOUSE UNAFFILIATED SJ FINALS.
We had anticipated this show for a couple of weeks and and were looking forward, with Molly qualified in the green novice and novice finals and Jayde in the open finals we had it all to play for.
Everything was running late on arrival and due to my injury of my achilles tendon, i decided to put Jayde in the Novice Derby Championship instead and let leona take her in the Open Champs. Anyway we walked them round the grounds to loosen them up when it came to Light that Molly is petrified of Donkeys and thats what had been spooking her in that arena.
In the Green Novice Molly had one stop and in NoviCe Championship she went clear and then again in the jump off but it wasnt really Mollys sort of jump off course and she came 11th. Everything now running really late and darkness closing in on the non flood lit arena they decided to time the first round of the rest of the classes, i cant deny i was nervous but i decided to keep it steady to help me build my confidence back and it worked jayde put in the best round and went clear, jumping as and when i asked, unfortunately i was 0.28secs outside of medal positions but i Came 7th in the Derby Championship, now really dark Leona took jayde in the Open Championship which stood between 3'3 and 3'6 and had one rail however with only one clear in the class Leona and Jayde took Fourth place and won a medal too, a great day back for my first show!
The weekend after we went to sandtoft to practice for the hunter trial on ther 7th of october and i'll let you all know how that went later on.
