What a day!!!! After a lot of preparation and a very long road we attempted our first ever BE100 at Munstead, little were we expecting to go double clear with a fantastic SJ round (it was BIG!) and an even better XC round (inside the time and all direct routes) (Including a meaty trekehna and a solid corner) but least off all were we expecting to come 10th!! And to think - this time 11months ago I was in tears at Pulborough 80 as was so terrified in the showjumping. Our Smokey really is a wonder horse, he tried his heart out today and blimey has he done us proud ❤

Today we turned our back on Eventing and turned to the very darkest of sides....Showing!!! We took the two boys up for a play. Hektikos hasn't been out in nearly a year so we felt it would be good for him to join us. Hektikos was in the Ridden Horse and came a very respectable 3rd, he even had to pop a fence. We then decided to take round the mini clear round and the diva did me proud with not 1 but 2 clear rounds (it was tiny, but considering Hek hasn't jumped a course in over 4 years I am very pleased with him!)! In the Riding club I must add that I am Super super proud of Mummy Leroy that only went and came 2nd in the Ridden and then reserve Champion!!! Yes she jumped too!!! Think I may lose my ride soon....
Smokes and I then had an impromptu pairs speed SJ class with a cheeky 2nd place before cracking on with the working hunter. An unlucky pole cost us the win but so chuffed with coming 2nd - it was jumping on the downhill again, my current nemesis! Coming 2nd qualified us for the championship where we came 3rd. A brilliant brilliant day at Sevenoaks Riding Club - It's nice to step away from the hype of affiliated events and enjoy small, local and incredibly friendly venues, even if I am thoroughly clueless about the art of showing....!!! I am absolutely over the moon to announce that we have been selected to represent the South East as a Brand Ambassador for Equo Events - The new online entries system from Horse and Hound. It has been a tough couple of weeks of campaigning and putting myself out there but the phenomenal support and votes that we have received is very humbling and has paid off - so a huge huge thank you to all that supported me. This is a fantastic opportunity and will mean that not only will we be financially supported by means of clothing for both me and my #EquoPonies but also get help towards training and competition entries, not only this but we also get a regular blog spot on Horse and Hound!!
