August saw Amber & Podge set off for their 2nd BE event. Still trying to sort brakes, they had a costly pole in SJ but as always Mr P was a superstar on the XC taking no notice of the fences that were causing other riders’ problems. He took 7th place & gave him a good warm up in preparation for the upcoming Pony Club Champs in a fortnight’s time.
A favourite event of the year, Amber & Podge made the journey up to OffChurch Bury for the JCB Pony Club National Championships 2024 Eventing.
Day one was the dressage where he was a little tense and then 4 faults in the SJ.
Day Two he produced a lovely clear XC with no time penalties on a very technical course that was causing a lot of riders’ problems. Mr P is just the best boy and came 9th out of a large field! I was super proud of them both!
As well as competing, they enjoyed trips to the beach where Dan was introduced to waves which he took in his stride! We held our annual residential camp which is always a highlight of the year and generally embraced the sun before autumn appears!
