Sunnybank BSJA

After our disastrous day at the Vale Show. Sunnybank today was much more successful. We took Muppet and Leo, we were going to go to the BSJA but there is none in S Wales leaving us no option but to travel to Hand in somerset or go unaffiliated at Sunnybank. Muppet napped quite a lot last time out and was very badly behaved. Amelia rode him in the 2′6 today and although he had two fences down he was very well behaved. Leo was on form today and won the 3′3 and the 3′6.  Sunnybank have decided to not hold any further BSJA competitions due to the fact they make such a loss on them compared to the unaffiliated jumping. This is such a shame for the people in South Wales that wish to compete BSJA as venues in S Wales are very thin on the ground, The Wales and the West don’t hold any competitions during the winter therefore we are left with only one competition this year at Pencoed College. Perhaps the BSJA should be looking at ways they can encourage venues like Sunnybank who have excellent facilities to hold competitions rather than discouraging them by giving them nothing to bring people in and piling ever more increasing costs on venues. We have had very little decent summer jumping due to the bad weather this year and Area 35 only have one winter show this side of Christmas to offer. After all the BSJA are more than willing to take our subscriptions and I don’t suppose they would like to offer us a reduction
