Crofton Manor Sunday 6th May 2012

Several of our Pony Club members attended the unaffiliated show jumping competition at Crofton Manor on Sunday due to the cancellation of the One Day Event at Coombelands (will it ever stop raining?).

The first thing I noted was how immaculately our members were turned out, compared to multicoloured jackets, numnahs and flowing manes (horses and people!) of many of the other competitors. I may be considered fussy about this, but really you all look so smart and you are a credit to your Pony Club.

Then the action – well what can I say? Brilliant! Everyone did really well with Coco Vulliamy Taylor and Silver Mouse coming 3rd in the 2′9 class which went on for over 4 hours so you can imagine how many there were entered. Then in the 3′ class, with over 50 entered, Coco and Mouse won, Cassia Rowsell and Flashpoint came 2nd, Polly Fox and Krugerrand came 3rd and Cassia with Chad came 4th. Talk about sweeping the board! The other members did really well, just out of the placings in many cases. The only horrid bit to the day was Beccy Sutcliffe’s nasty fall with Lily, but hopefully she is feeling better today.

Well done all of you. It was a most enjoyable day, even if a long one. We eventually got our supper at 10pm and I would imagine the others were not far off that time! Looking forward to continued success at future competitions.
