Horseland EFA Wandin Park ODE – 28/11/09
Both riders attending this event (in training level 3 ) were pleased with their results, and achieved what they set out to do - Sara-Jane Vaughan achieved her goal of getting Chester around the XC course with a feeling of calm control, they placed in the dressage phase, and finished the day in 12th spot.. Jackie Wright was happy with Wodney's work, and his calm pace around the XC. They were eliminated towards the end at the "christmas jump" (see the photo) which pulled up a number of combinations, but had a great day nonetheless.
Lilydale Show – 21/11/09
Mooroolbark had great representation by seven riders at the Lilydale Show on Saturday November 21. Lauren Howes, Justine Russell, Tessa Whitfort, Jackie Wright, Amy Tucker, Emily Savini, Georgia Goss, Genevieve Savini all came home with at least one ribbon. An interesting day, with some horses finding the noise, the rides and the small warm up areas just a bit too much! But the weather very kindly held out (although not for those going on the Sunday).
We didn’t get all the results written down (there were almost too many to keep track of), and we apologise to those we've missed (put your details in the Out & About book, or email them through) but here are some of the highlights …
HRCAV ring Tessa placed first in led (height class) and 4th in their level rider class.
Open ring For their height classes, Justine & Jackie each placed 2nd in Open Hack and Lauren 2nd in Open Galloway. In the pony class, Georgia placed 3rd and Amy 4th in their height classes. In the exhibit class, Lauren placed 2nd in Galloway and Jackie 3rd in Hack. In led, for her age group, Georgia placed 2nd.
In their rider class, Georgia & Jackie placed 2nd in their age group, and Jackie was reserve champion.
And in Local rider, Georgia placed 2nd, and Jackie & Amy placed equal 4th for their age groups.
In the pony club ring In the best presented class, for their age groups, Jackie placed 2nd, Amy & Tessa 3rd, Lauren & Justine 4th. And the led class (for their age group), Jackie placed 1st, Lauren 2nd, Justine 3rd and Amy 4th. In the Rider class, Justine placed 1st, Jackie 2nd, Lauren 3rd and Amy 4th in their age groups, with Justine also achieving Champion. In the PC Mount class, Tessa placed 2nd (in their height). And for Pleasure Mount, Amy placed 1st in their height class.
Justine had a good day in the showjumping, with a 4th in the 85 cm height. She continued on to some great rounds at the higher jumps, although we don’t hear the final results.
Georgia’s results warrant a special mention – 3 x 2nd places, 1 x 3rd and 1 x 4th – all on her new pony Tory at their first competition together – well done!
Lilydale PC Horse Trials – 25/10/09
Seven of our riders competed on a windy Sunday at Lilydale Horse Trials. The event was well represented, with nearly 200 riders competing in grades 2 through 5. Only 3 of the 17 grade 2 riders went clear on the cross country, 7 were elimnated, with only 7 being eligible to go on to ride the show jumping.
Jackie Wright competed her first ever grade 2 competition with fantastic results. She and Skite placed first after dressage, and FIRST overall and the smile on their faces told it all!
Taylah O’Neill was also grinning with delight that she and Beau had made it around the grade 5 XC with no refusals in their first HT competition together. We haven’t heard whether they placed, but the day sounds to have achieved what they set out to do.
Super Showjumping Series
Chelsea Winter had success in the Super Showjumping Series that was held over 4 weekends and at 4 different Pony Clubs in the NMZ - she came 3rd overall for the series. Which included three 1st placings and one 2nd placing out of the 4 Championship rounds. A 5th and 4th in Equitation and a 3rd, 4th and 6th in Take Your Own Line for the series.
Glenbrae Interschool Gymkhana – 21/10/09
Jackie Wright represented her school at the Gymkhana and she and Wodney had a great day. They placed 1st in Best Presented, Best Rider and Led, and 5th in Best Mount for Eventing and Pleasure Mount, giving them the points they needed to place 1st overall.
Oaklands Pony Club Horse Trials – 18/10/09
Lauren Howes and Chelsea Winter had a good weekend at Oaklands.
Ask Lauren Howes to show you the prize she received for WINNING the Grade 2 section … you will all be jealous ! Congratulations to you and Kal on your ongoing success.
Chelsea Winter placed 4th in the grade 2 section – a particularly strong effort after coming 24th after dressage, 6th after Cross Country and then on to 4th after the SJ phase.
At this event, there were 11 riders eliminated at cross country and 5 eliminated at Show jumping. Chelsea and Lauren were the only Grade 2 riders to go clear in both Cross Country and Show jumping.
