Mini
team showjumpers won at BluehayesAt the East Devon Hunt team showjumping at Bluehayes lon Sun 11th May (same day as the dressage comp below) the mini team of Connie and Megan Isaac, Molly Watson and Mary Daykin won their class, with Megan, Connie and Molly taking individual placings 1st, 2nd and 5th. (Click on the photo to see it full size)
The junior team of Connie, Megan, Molly and Withheld were 3rd, with Withheld taking 3rd place in the individual section won by Louise Kittow.
Open
Dressage Team won at BluehayesWe sent a dressage team to Bluehayes on the 11th May.
Unfortunately one of our members had to withdraw, leaving a team of 3 girls, whose scores all had to count. They all did extremely well with individual placings: Cobi Lawrence 2nd, Carmen Lawrence 3rd, and Connie Isaac 4th. Which meant they won the Open Team Dressage with an extremely hard test to learn!
(Click on the photo to see a larger image, and there are also individual pictures one, two and three. Incidentally can anyone explain the flying grass in the photo on the left? Perhaps the secret of the team's success... or maybe just a photographer's trick. See the full size image for details)

20th April!Congratulations to our very novice Prince Philip Cup team, Withheld, Rosie Heard, Rebecca Heard, Joseph White and Jodie White who competed for the first time at the Area competition ably supported by Nell Baillie and Alice Lomas who led the most novice riders.

Cotley
Pony Club ODE at Stockland Lovell - 30th March
(Click on photo to see larger version)
With only 4 Tiverton Pony Club members competing at this impressive venue, which attracted nearly 200 entries, team selection was a straightforward affair. Hannah Luxton and Alexa Batting competed in the 2'9" class, with David Hodnett and Rupert Batting competing in the Open Class. With torrential rain the day before, the X-C going was deep in places and increased the difficulty of an already imposing course. However, even with these added challenges, Hannah was 11th in her section. with a good dressage, two down in the SJ and clear X-C despite having to wait for someone to get out of the way in the big water complex and then having the added complexity of another loose horse join her. Alexa added 4 faults to her dressage score in the show jumping and then had a brakes issue on a downhill section of the X-C causing her to circle and incur 20 penalties, dropping her down to 16th place. Rupert managed to stay on his dressage score, picking up 5th place. David had a unfortunate 4 faults in the show jumping, but with only a few time faults incurred on the X-C finished in 8th place. Their performance in the Open Class was quite an achievement as the X-C track in particular was very testing, with only 3 zero X-C scores.
Such impressive results collectively by these Tiverton riders resulted in them winning the event outright, fighting off some serious opposition from many Pony Club and Riding Club teams from around the South West, including relegating the Cotley team to 2nd place. Congratulations to them all. [Report by Georgie Batting].
