One Day Event Sunday 13th September 2009

13th September, 2009

Our eighth Annual Horse Trials was again held on the opening Sunday of term. The ground was perfect, even though the grass was rather long. It is difficult now to remember just how wet the holidays were! Fifteen competed for the three trophies.

The dressage tests were well learned and all performed to a high standard, with Hugh Davies' being excellent. The Show Jumping, over the Berwyn and Dee Pony Club's smart jumps, caused few problems. The Cross Country section presented some difficulties but was thoroughly enjoyed by most. Hugh was unfortunately unseated at the second and another rider couldn't stop her very strong pony from missing a fence on the home stretch, but with no elimination in the rules, all continued to finish. With time to relax in the glorious sunshine and have picnics between disciplines, a marvellous day was had by all - not least by those unmounted participants who tried their skills in the Show Jumping arena!
