We were so lucky to have beautiful weather on Sunday for the Dressage Canterbury July Non-Graded Tournament.
Iris and Freddie were 3rd in 0B and then 1st in 1B with 70% 🥇
Zara and Pixie were 2nd in 0B and 3rd in 1B with 67% 🏅
Piper and Sam won their Novice tests with great marks 🥇
Denzel got through his first Medium test but was quite distracted again! And poor Duke absolutely lost his mind as a huge group of runners went flashing by through the trees at the end of arena 1 just as we started our test 🙈 thank you so much to our kind and understanding judge Jude Greenslade for letting me settle him and try to finish on a good note 🙏
Thank you Olivia Skidmore Photography for getting some nice photos of Duke once he was back on the same planet 😅

We had a fantastic day at the Winter Premier Fundraising Show on Sunday despite the rain (so grateful for the indoor arena!). Lydia on Pixie in the Tiny Tots, Poppy on Missy in the Lead Rein, Iris on Freddie in the Ponies and Piper on Sam in the Ponies and Show Jumping. So many ribbons for everyone and all 4 ponies were so well behaved and had a great time too 😍🥳

~ Zara and Pixie had their first show together too (Zara's second ever comp) - they won the pony Preliminary 1B with 69% 🥇 and were 4th in the Introductory 0B with 61% 👏

~ Duke made the step up to Medium and Denzel to Elementary - they both did really well despite being quite distracted by each other 🙈 they haven't had much mileage yet so these Dressage Canterbury days are perfect for them 😍
