January 2010 - Beach Ride

 

The beach ride was lovely, much nicer weather and also much busier than last year.  Earliest arrivers got the best parks but people kept showing up till 8.30ish and there were a few floats parked out on the road.  All types of horses and ponies on the beach but enough room for all. we had 9 riders in all, Tessa, Lauren, Amy and Kate Moore, Chelsea and Michelle, Amy Tucker and Millie Romei. A great time was had by everyone, and some of us got very wet! After the horses worked out that the waves actually weren't going to eat them they seemed to enjoy the water - especially Remy! the weather was perfect and the water was warm which made the swimming more appealing. we then had a lovely breakfast and were home before the rest of the family was out of bed.
 
A HUGE THANK YOU to Sue Tucker for organising the day, collecting the permit etc.

 
Cheers
Lindy and Tessa

Special mention of some great performances from Justine and Tetley 1st in B Grade, Lauren and Kel 1st in B Grade, Sarah-Jane and Chester 2nd in C Grade (in their first C Grade competition!).

Good luck to both Sara-Jane and Justine for this event on February 14.

 

 

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.

A Tribute to Skite's Best

Wednesday, 16 December 2009

 


In Memory of Skite’s Best
August 24 1988 To December 4, 2009
Dam - Carmeldi’s Best
Sire - Bit of a Skite
 
 

 

The pain is raw and the memory is vivid, but we want to honour the memory of our Skity, who we lost in a tragic accident on December 4.
 
Skite’s Best started his career as a potential racehorse, and although that career did not prove to be an auspicious one, his later retraining as an eventer proved to be a different story.
We know that two of his previous owners, Sally Hudson and Bronwyn Potton, spent numerous years of success, challenge and enjoyment.
 
Bronwyn was one of Sally’s students, and with Skite moved up the pony club ranks to achieve success in eventing at grade 1. They also successfully tried their hand at many other types of events, including games and polocrosse. At 18 years of age, Skite’s human family knew that he was ready to retire from grade 1, although we suspect he wouldn’t have agreed - some days, he still acted like the teenager he believed he was
 
Jackie (fortunate to then be one of Bronwyn’s students) and Skite started working together in 2007 at grade 4 pony club, and their first year together was a time of learning for her, with Skite providing just the right amount of challenge for her to develop and improve. With a rider prepared to exercise him every day, and a life filled with trail rides, pony club, beach rides, and a holiday in Gippsland, Skite and Jackie learned to get his balance of work and rest just right, culminating in a wonderful 2009 for them both.
In contrast to their first year together, when Skite tested Jackie’s skills, the two of them became a beautiful team, with Skite the comfortable, trusted gentleman who could be relied upon to be the calm ride she needed on the days when her new thoroughbred Wodney had taken over the role of providing the challenge. Skite was the one that Jackie took on trail rides when other riders needed a calm horse in the lead. But the spark of the racehorse was still in his eyes when a canter up the trail made him believe that a race was on.
 
We smile when we think of Skity in the paddock – falling in love with at least one of whichever mare might be in the next paddock alongside. And stressing as if his world would end when the other horses went for a ride without him.
 
Skite and Jackie had a fantastic time together, and he did so much for each and every one of his riders. We will hold onto those precious memories when the sadness threatens to overwhelm us.
 
Thank you Skite.
 

 Lilydale Pony Club Horse Trials, 25 October 2009

Jackie and Skite competed their first ever grade 2 competition together in October. The smiles on both their faces at the end of the cross country phase said it all. She and Skite placed first after dressage, and first overall.

 State Flat Team of Four Ride  13 June, 2009

Skite and Jackie joined three other Mooroolbark horse and rider combinations to have a go at the team of four ride competition in NMZ Zone. They achieved a very respectable 4th place, and were surprised to find themselves billeted to compete at the state competition at Werribee.
Not only did they go to State – they won that competition.

Well, the surprises got even better today when  the team placed FIRST !!! WELL DONE girls - a fantastic reward for the hard work. When you started training earlier in the year, you never believed that you even had a chance and to see all your dreams come true was really wonderful.

2009 April and May Out & About updated 14/6

Saturday, 16 May 2009

April & May 2009 - Out and about 
 
 

 

Somehow during the excitement of our recent rider & team successes, we neglected to congratulate Lauren Howes on her ride at the STATE horse trials on May 1/2. She placed 8th in grade 2 - a very good result. We hope you enjoy the photos from the event on this page.

Mooroolbark's A Team entry in the North Metro Zone Teams Horse Trials at Yeringberg Sunday 24th May  placed 2nd ... CONGRATULATIONS to the team ! More news and details on that event later ...

Once again, many of our riders have been out and about representing our club or their school in a number of competitions. If you know of other competitions, please let Tania or Wendy know, and don’t forget to put the details in the Out and About book at the next rally ….

 

First of all, huge congratulations to Lauren Howes at the State Dressage Championships in February  ... she placed 5th for the team.
 
Kate Moore attended GLENBRAE Equestrian Interschool event (back in March), and whilst not placing overall, came 3rd in Grade 5 Dressage.
 
Our Flat Team entry in the Zone's Competition came fourth (see separate news page).
 
At DOONGALA SHOWJUMPING DAY, 13 of our girls represented the club, (see the link to professional photos below)

Natalie came 3rd in all phases, with a 2nd overall
Amy came 5th, 4th, 4th, with a 3rd overall
 
In E Grade, Tahlia Bourke placed 3rd in phase 1, and achieved 5th overall

A number of riders represented their schools at the recent TINTERN HORSE TRIALS, held at Wandin Park on May 9/10
 Maddie Scott came 1st in Grade 5 Horse Trials, which is her last competition for Grade 5. This is also her first ever win. She won a rosette and a rug for Juddy. She got 90% on her dressage test and a clear showjumping and clear cross country. She also scored the lowest amount of penalties for all of Grade 5 competitors (about 70) Fantastic effort.
 
In March, Millie Romei attended the RINGWOOD SJ DAY. Millie faced 2 refusals in the AM7 90cm, was unplaced in the AM7 75cm and came 3rd in the AM7 60cm. Good on you Millie!

2009 Games & Flat Team

This year we entered two games teams, and a flat team in the North Metro Zone competition on April 26th at Wesburn.

The teams worked hard to prepare and train, and a big thanks goes to the parents who helped, especially Jane Robbins & Julie Howes for managing and training the teams. Also, to the leaders of the games teams - senior riders Lauren and Briallen.

Whilst our games teams didn't place, they had a fun day (well, despite cold conditions, and threatening sleet and slow) and are well-placed to know what they need to do for next year.

Our flat team surprised themselves by placing 4th - a fantastic reward for all the hard work, and worrying training sessions!

 

Well done to all our teams - whether we win or lose, the team work has been great to watch and a credit to you all.

 

BREAKING NEWS .... The flat team which placed fourth at the zone competition have rather unexpectedly been balloted in to the State Comp at

Werribee on the 13th of June. We wish them all the best for the day !
