Round up of events 2008/9

2008 - 2009

Decision had been made to have a go at affiliated showjumping!  Membership cards arrived and 'Picnic' was now known as 'Zara Warrior Princess'

Our First outing was at Summerhouse in Gloucester to enter the British Novice class.  A double clear was the aim of the day but after a swift jump off we ended up in 2nd place in a strong class

We ventured to Cheltenham Racecourse to have a go at the Ruxton 1.05m Derby and although we had a few poles down being a bold Shire horse the derby fences posed no challenge!!!

The rest of 2009 we continued to enter the British Novice and Discovery classes for experience and during the winter months got used to the surprised looks when the indoor arenas echoed with the sound of the shire horse footfalls to see the agility of a thoroughbred in the jump offs!!!
