Samantha and Pascal managed to qualify for the Riding to Music test at the Europeans on Sunday. Thus becoming the first Junior Briton to manage this in quite a few years! All went well, although not in the top placings it was a fantastic experience. They are heading home, top of the Brits and should be back in Turville by Tuesday.

Lauren & John Boy qualify Newcomers Scope.

angela — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 18:14:36 +0000

Lauren and John Boy (Waltons Top Flight) jumped the class of their life today. It was the second round newcomers with 107 competitors. The first two qualify for The Horse of the Year Show and top five go through to the Scope Championships so competition was fierce! As Lauren went in she edged him on, ‘He isn’t listening today’, she commented on her way in but he obviously had his own agenda as he produced a foot perfect clear round, one of only about twenty. He followed that with another clear which put him in the final jump off with just nine others. Up went the jumps again, mum could hardly watch, some were up to 1.40m. He jumped well but incurred 8 faults which still put them 5th, such was the difficulty of the course. This qualifies the for Scope where apparently they have another crack at HOYS. We’d better look in rule book! All very happy in Turville

The pair went to day four of the Addington Classic Summer show on 9th July and got another double clear Foxhunter and were placed 3rd. John Boy is a little star!

We just had a phone call in from Hickstead where Samantha and Spring Pascal are competing. Diane reported that the pair had won the Final Team selection test for the Young Rider. They scored 69.87% , despite breaking in the medium trot, and are naturally thrilled!

Lauren and John Boy win their first Foxhunter

angela — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 18:22:06 +0000

Lauren and JB competed at Addington again today hoping to get another double clear in the Foxhunter. John Boy jumped beautifully in the first class and picked up a 3rd and then followed that with a win in the Foxhunter. Lauren was so pleased as he met every fence perfectly and made it all feel so easy today. All the hard work is really paying off now, lets hope they can keep it together for the ‘biggy’ this weekend!
