We had a fantastic day at the Winter Premier Fundraising Show on Sunday despite the rain (so grateful for the indoor arena!). Lydia on Pixie in the Tiny Tots, Poppy on Missy in the Lead Rein, Iris on Freddie in the Ponies and Piper on Sam in the Ponies and Show Jumping. So many ribbons for everyone and all 4 ponies were so well behaved and had a great time too 😍🥳

We had a great day at the Dressage Canterbury Tournament last Sunday with 5 combinations competing.
~ Iris and Freddie had their first show together - they won the Introductory 0B with 67%🥇and were 3rd in the pony Preliminary 1B with 65% 🥉
~ Zara and Pixie had their first show together too (Zara's second ever comp) - they won the pony Preliminary 1B with 69% 🥇 and were 4th in the Introductory 0B with 61% 👏
~ Piper and Sam did their first Novice starts together for 60% in 2A and 66% in 2B 🥇🤩
~ Duke made the step up to Medium and Denzel to Elementary - they both did really well despite being quite distracted by each other 🙈 they haven't had much mileage yet so these Dressage Canterbury days are perfect for them 😍
