Took Appley to TREC today :) we came first in our class by the looks of it!! :dance:

COP was a bit hair raising in that she threw in a HUGE buck for no good reason which almost unseated me (oops! you don't want a 12hh pony to do a handstand, believe me ...), but hey! she didn't break canter :p

obstacles went great, much better at reinback, cantered the low branches for the first time, did the skinny jump as well :D love my pony!!

Orienteering was a bit messy as the map turned out to be faulty in places and there was 3 stallions milling around en route, two of which kept calling to her from the woods so we pranced sideways for half a mile!!


no pics unfortunately :( but LOVE my poneh :wub:
 
I love reading your posts, they are always so positive and FUN :dance:
Sounds like you had a great time. :)
 
she's fitter and stronger than she's ever been so definitely has acquired some 'oomph' this year :) she's 6 now :) our companion really stole the show though! lovely 13-odd-hh heavy coblet, neither him nor his rider had ever done anything like it before and ... they only went and got THE highest obstacles score for all the classes!! what a star!!
 
Brilliant sounds like a great time had by you both.

I'm going to aim to do Trec with Becca...it always seems so chilled and fun!

Well done to you and Appley :dance:
