We had a lovely sunny day for the arena eventers challenge, a course of showjumping followed by a course of cross country style fences. We had a fantastic amount of entries and there was a great atmosphere. Thank you to all the volunteers and to the competitors to making this event such a success.
Here are the results: EC Results
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 🙂
