Rowena Moyse

Lunging before having a sit on him, he’s getting used to it now and I am walking a few steps on him now. Won’t be long before I’m riding him next to his brother Alec

Just starting trotting in the school looking happy and relaxed.

Arrived and set up camp on Wednesday. Thursday saw us getting up early plaiting all eight ponies before the trot up in front of the vets and fei stewards. All past easily. Then in the afternoon Averina Snow drove her pair in the dressage phase in a class of 17. They went very well but unfortunately due to a couple of small driver errors missed the magic 65 score by 2 points.

Friday saw us starting to walk the obstacles in the morning before Rowena Moyse drove the dressage test with the pony team getting a 61 score thereby getting her two qualifying scores for the world pony championship in Hungary at the end of the season. Then more walking of obstacles.

Averina and I had a good training competition at Cricklands last weekend.

We both got the dressage scores we wanted, and both achieved double clear in the cones . Both of us have a new pony in for the obstacles so it is training in progress good start to the season.
