30th July 2008- WEDNESDAY NIGHT SHOW AT HILL HOUSE EC -

In our first class we both went clear and there were 12 horses in the jumpofff i rode fast as i could and got a time of 29.04 secs and Leona got a close time of 30.02 secs and these fast times were not beaten resulting in Jayde and I winning the class and Leona coming second, taking most of the prizes on offere. Itfelt ace to win after such a long time and i felt motivated that i could achieve whatever i wanted.

In our second class again we both went clear, i had four faults in the jump off and a time of 26.24 where as Leona went clear again with a time of 26.03 and that resulted in fifth place for her. Overall we were very pleased although we didnt get back to the yard until 11pm and home until 12am. As a very tired family we all slept in the next day.

Yesterday we had the blacksmith to both of our horses and wormed them although the weather was awful. Now we had to concentrate on our upcoming shows, and our fun day at messingham on Sunday where Leona will be doing a bareback jumping class! Watch this space!
