Mini Hunter Trial

I was worried earlier in the week that the ground was going to be a bit hard for the Mini Hunter Trial but that rain we had yesterday did it the world of good and it turned out to be a fab day. The course is a small course approx 1ft high in the lead rein, then 1ft9 and the max height in the last class is 2ft3,  suitable for Novice horses or Novice riders and also the very scared and we had quite a few very scared adults. There wasn’t many in the lead rein but we had a very good turn out for the rest of the next classes. Ashton Newton riding Smartie won the lead rein. Sophie Thomas had a fall but was ok and Olivia Murray nearly fell off but her leader Sarah Blake was very quick to catch her and throw her back on. There were a few fallers throughout the day but none injured. Shannon riding Quattro manged to fall off twice at the same fence (I’ve seen a few photos of that pop up on facebook) Malissa and Rupert parted company when they had a disagreement on which way to turn. There were also a lot of smiling faces, some because they had been placed, some because they had got round and a few because they had survived. We need quite a bit of help to run this event and we rely on parents from they riding school and a great job they did too, from fence judging to taking entries and even the catering. Next Mini Hunter Trial Sunday 27th June 11am start.
