Firle Hunter Trials


What a day! Headed off at 7.30 am to get there for the pairs with my Mum.Left Kirsty at home to muck out the yard and to get the three horses ready for the last class. This is my Mum’s yearly show she likes to do on her pony Sam. I took Madam as Bobby wasn't fit enough, only took Madam XC for the first time the day before which she loved apart from the water! I suppose being a dressage pony you don't see any puddles !

Mum led the way with a 16.2 giraffe closely following behind, she was amazing she was not leaving Sam’s side trying to jump the whole water was pretty scary! We came back clear and a 6th ribbon!


Madam 




We had to load up pretty quickly to go back and bring three back for the last class. We were on time which is very rare for me! Something had to go wrong and it did - we had a blow out Near Ringmer not even half way home! We had to wait a hour for for it to be fixed, luckily we broke down right next door to a garden centre with a cafe, so sausage rolls and coffee went down well! Had some lovely people stop to see if we needed help.


Lots of bad luck with the tyres!  Mummy Pilbeam with much needed refreshments from the cafe!

We got back home unloaded and loaded Penny, Bea and Poppy and got to Firle just in time. Bea did a super clear coming 5th, Penny clear coming 12th and Poppy and I got eliminated at the first water so had a lead and carried on, was so happy she went through the second water all by herself.

So a long day ,was looking forward to getting home until we had another blow out couldn't believe my luck!!! Luckily it was a back wheel so we drove home very slowly. So we have 6 new tyres on the truck now!
