well, things have been a bit mental here with stu being laid up (he finally went and got xrayed and checked over after beau played leap frog with him) but my dad helped out and we made it to katy's pony club show on saturday.
it was a miserable morning and there was a mix up when we got there as her RI had thought we were bringing millie so hadn't reserved a ponio for her. luckily there was one free so she did the handy pony on her usual lesson pony, sammy. she did really well, she went mostly in walk so she could do it on her own with her helper just walking alongside. she did struggle to unpeg the jumper on the washing line, being the shortest of all the entrants, bless her! she did the rest spot on though, but missed being placed (she came 8th, rosettes went up to 6th)
she then had her LR jumping class, which again she had no pony for so she was given sparky, a rather lively little chestnut who made her look very tiny! she had a leader for this obviously being a lead rein class, which was a relief as sparky was really getting into the show atmosphere!! she did brilliantly well, even though it was barely a jump she was the only kid in her class who actually folded over the jump (not necesarry as they walked over most of them, i suspect to stop sparky leaping!) and even though she didnt place she went clear and i was incredibly proud of my wee cupcake!
slightly unimpressed with the rain
