Some of our older members have been out Eventing this season. Hazel Perry and Amy Dunn have been active and Hazel writes “We did the Intermediate at Coombelands where I finished 2nd and Amy 4th. We then did the intermediate at Nurstead where I finished 2nd and Amy 7th. We then did the intermediate at Eridge where Amy finished 5th and I finished 9th. And finally we did our first open at Tweseldown last Sunday where Amy finished 7th and I finished 10th.”
Louise Lewis is kindly stewarding the senior Eventers and she kindly submitted the following update on progress “Hazel Perry and Amy Dunn went to Pulborough for the Chiddingfold Farmers ODE on Sunday 8th May and did the Level 4 class (3’3) although they are both working up to do their first level 5 later this month with the view of doing Level 5 ‘Open’ at the Area this summer. Really thrilled for Hazel as she finished on her dressage score and finished 2nd whilst Amy finished a very creditable 4th incurring a few time penalties – this time for being too slow – which we’re all really pleased about as she now has some brakes for the horse!!! Better that than being too fast.
In addition, we had one level 2 competitor (2’6) from the Southdown East competing at Pulborough on 8th May. I think lots of other Level 2’s went to the Eridge which I’m sure Rosanne Heagerty will let you know more about. Annabelle Irwin (Alexandra’s younger sister) competed on Alexandra’s Pony Percy (formerly Ceski Goddard’s) in her first ODE on Percy – She won it finishing on her dressage score of 28. Not bad for a first effort. Alexandra had better watch out!!!”
Well done to all of them and its good to know that branch members are out there showing the flag!
