Highton Fun Show

We decided to go the Highton Fun Show today to give Maggie (and Joanna!) some practice and let Tommy have a little ride on Ladybird.

I entered Ladybird in the Thellwell class which she won. I then took Maggie in the M&M In-hand class where she was placed Second.

Tommy then rode Ladybird in the Family Pony class where he was placed 4th. He enjoyed it thoroughly although as it was such a big class we did have to sing “Heads, Shoulders, Knees & Toes” to keep him occupied in the line up!



I then took Maggie in the Ridden M&M Class which she won. I then did one last class which was the Best Trot class and was delighted to win this one too as it was a strong class. All in all we had a good day out although the weather was a little bit damp!

Pony Club Open Combined Training

I took Maggie to the Pony Club Combined Training today.

She did a much better dressage test than on our previous occasions and although we cantered on the wrong leg I managed to correct it.

Then on to the jumping. This was only the 3rd ever course of jumps I have done but she jumped round lovely and we had a clear round.

We came 4th (only 1 mark behind joint 2nd) out of 18 which I was really pleased with.
