Pony Club Championships 2010
I was so happy when I qualified for the PC Champs and the day was everything I could of hoped for. When you read this report please remember a few things.
1) I have had Twizzy 1 year.
2) Twizzy had never evented before I got her
3) We compete at BE100
4) I have never ridden in a long arena.
5) And of course she is a spooky WB
I bathed Twizzy on Monday night and turned her out, it was sunny and dry so I thought the forecast had changed and we would be ok. Urm no it chucked it down from about 4am onwards. So I thought that Twizzy would be really grubby but she wasnt She was clean yay.
We set of to Draycott trying to beat all the Nottingham traffic, which we managed to do, and arrived at the ground. We got our numbers and get tacked up and got on. I was the first one to go in my section I warmed up and off we went. I was please with my test, I didnt go wrong and everything happened when it should, no spooking so it was all good, I thought I would be around the 36 mark and later found out that I had 35.65

<<Hello Twizzy 
Showjumping didnt seem overly big at all, this might be due to the fact that Twizzy is 16.3 and she makes everything look so small. She fab a fab round but we got 1 time fault but not to sure how :/ but never mind 1 fault is much better than some 24+ faults that were coming in.
vv Having a little agrument hehe
Cross country had a few things that I knew would test us a coffin at fence 4 if she didnt see the ditch in the middle I knew she would jump it massive and run past the last bit and at fence 16 there was a VERY skinny log along the side of the fence.
We set off well over fences 1,2 and 3 fence 4 was the coffin, we jumped the 1st part fine and she locked on to the last bit and at the last moment she saw the ditch and just jumped so big we landed about 2 strides the other side of the ditch and just couldnt turn in time, I turned her left after the fence and couldnt get to the last bit so another turn on to the right rein and she popped it fine, I think this is where I picked up most if not all of my 19 time faults.
aarrrgggg who put that there......
oh heck.....
ekkkkk
this is where we landed...you can see where you were ment to...
She flew over the next few fences giving me the best ride ever flew everything on a fab stride, she flew down the hill over a fairly big log, to a trailer and into another wood before the water, gosh that table was bit it was well past the top of my dads legs and he is 6.2ft!!!!! She flew in the water and out the other side, up to the skinny log, up a step over another log, down the hill to a step up to a tiny roll top, well this tiny roll top had the biggest drop the other side im 5.6 and it was nearly at my shoulders!!
And we flew the last few fences, she was so brilliant even with our stop. We didnt hang around to see if I had come anywhere but it didnt matter I was so pleased with how she had gone: D. I have bought my DVD so when it comes I will load it up and let you have a look and give me some speed tips hehe. We are at Winkburn next at the end of the month where im doing the BE100, I hope there isnt and coffins
