Member News: Relay Teams compete at Ponstispool with great results

admintdrc

On 2nd May TauntonDistrict RidingClub had 2 teams running at today’s TVH Team Relay.

80cm Team Sam Smith, Jess Smith, Johanne Heuff and Emma -Jane Williams picked up a well deserved 3rd place with Jo’s horse Expresso speeding around the course twice after Jess had a few issues with the flower box, Sam’s horse Duncan made a welcome return to the competition circuit.

90cm team of Petra Bryan-Brown, Jo Heuff, Katy Berry and myself were unlucky not to be placed, Jo did a lovely round on her second horse Nelson, Katy did very well considering she’d never sat on the horse borrowed from Jo’s husband. Toby, Petra’s horse was keen as mustard got slightly flustered in the double but rapid action for the arena crew saw her fly it the second time. Mr Big flew around for the second time with the promise of a couple of days off!!

All members rode brilliantly, thanks for supporting this fabulous event !!!

 

Well done to all of you 🙂

This is what Emma had to say:

 Mr Big was on point today, personal best, breaking the 70% barrier out of the rossettes this time but lots of promise for the next one! ………. Everyone’s good luck wishes only 2.5% off a place so must have worked…..a very tired but super pleased rider ????????????

So Super G and O’Shin went to attempt Elementary RC Qualifiers in the Intermediate TauntonDistrict RidingClub team yesterday at KSEC! Not gonna lie, very kind judge who ended up giving George a 63% test and Osh a 64.3%!! Very proud of them both and very proud of those scores as it’s the first time I’ve done a test of this level with either of them. Thank you Dezi for organising the teams and thank you KSEC for a great day of strong competition!
