A competition report.........

[OldGit]

Well it's been a while so excuse the rustiness, not me though but lil old git.......
Have posted a pic of her loan pony, but this is Teddy Edwards, her new best friend...

Today was their first competition, a dressage walk and trot test. As she was the in the first class, it was an early start, felt by all. especially 21 yr old Teddy. She has been more excited about this than Christmas!!

There were 8 in the class, 6 adults, and she came 7th, luckily the organizer provided rosettes for all, so here is a very happy Maddy....


I'm sure there will be more posts to follow, especially as she asked "is there a walk and trot test at the Olympics!!", watch out Carl your place may not be safe!

[OldGit]

thank you

 

[siennamum]

How adorable. Such a super pony too.

 

[Booboos]

How fantastic! She certainly looks ready for the Olympics with that turn-out and the perfect dressage sheet! Well done both of them!

 

[Vetwrap]

Well done Maddy! I love your pony as well. What a pair of stars.

What lovely, happy pictures and doesn't she sit well?

 

[meardsall_millie]

That's one of the cutest things I've seen for a while! Well done Maddy and Teddy (and watch out Carl and Charlotte ).

All credit to VV too for giving rosettes all the way down the order

As a slight aside - what's happened to the surface in the top outdoor - looks very deep and lumpy on the picture?

 

[Kat_Bath]

Thise pictures are adorable! Well done to them both-that's a very pretty rosette too!

 

[Jenni_]

Awwwwwww give me that pony! He is too cute!!

I've got my first test on my new horse today- has she got any tips??

 

[Hornby]

Ah how sweet! Love that pony, such a wise face, lucky girl and super rosette . But how about a Mr Old Git report too please? I have missed them!

 

[MandyMoo]

so cute! well done

 

[Jesstickle]

absolute cuteness!

What a brilliantly enthusiastic salute

 

[OldGit]

thanks ever so much everyone. she does sit well, a cracking little pony is teddy, and she was sooo excited about the test. If they hadn't done rosettes we'd have got one from somewhere. As for tips she was just incredibly calm about it. Next stop we may see if she's up to going out on the boxing day meet. As for an oldgit report..... well we'll see! Guess I could do a round upoff the past 18 months, it's been typically up and down

 

[MegaBeast]

What a lovely pony! Love his fluffy coat

Be good to have a senior OG update too - ups and downs are more than normal where horses are involved.

 

[OldGit]

Hi MM surface had been harrowed as it was frozen solid!!! But last time I was there the membrane is coming up in the walker end.

 

[Tash88]

They both look absolutely adorable and Maddy is a great little rider. She could give me some tips for my dressage test nerves! Well done Maddy and Teddy x

 

[tinap]

Aw so cute!!! They look a fab pair together xx

 

[flohelf]

What a lovely pair, adorable AND very pro looking!!! Move over, here comes the new generation!!!
Love Teddy's wooly socks... Wish I had some like that to keep me warm!

 

[TableDancer]

Aww, gorgeous, the pair of them! And that looks like a very warm, toasty, old-fashioned hacking jacket which has kept a few budding young jockeys cosy over the years, am I right?

 

[ElleSkywalkingintheair]

I saw you coming out of ring yest & nearly fainted clean away due to the cuteness! Well done

 

[kerilli]

fantastic pics and report, what a pair of little cuties. here's to lots more rosettes for them.

 

[Old Bat]
