Venue to be decided

Shelford Manor, Shelford nr Newark was the setting for the pony club championships 2008. Pony clubs from all over the country travelled to part in the championships, so we are talking the cream of pony club riders, every rider at Shelford Manor had qualified as a team or an individual, and to qualify they had to be placed 1st or 2nd in their arenas or 1st or 2nd as a team on the day of the qualifiers.

------------------------------

We had a intermediated dresssage team and an individual intermediate eventer at the championships on 21st August 2007

The dressage team of

Griff Nicholson on Dancing Annie

Georgina Barth on Mouse

Karen Lamb on Bertie Bubble

Charlotte Scott on Black and White Magic.

As a team they were placed 7th overall a really good result

Charlotte came 5th in her arena, Griff and Georgina came 7th in their arena and Karen came 9th in her arena. They all rode really well and the mark difference  between 1st and 10th was very small, it was a very tight competition so WELL DONE to you all.

Dressage Results

21st July 2007

at

 Arena UK

Thank you to all the members and their parents for travelling to Arena Uk nr Grantham and representing the Scunthorpe pony club, the weather was not good but the members all rode well and gave it their best shot in such testing conditions.

The Junior team showed the older members how it should be done, they WON the junior section.

Junior Team

 Alice Hill on Mojo

Alisa Drew on Jasper

Beth Green on Jigsaw

Hannah Barth on Oliver

Hannah finished 1st on her arena

Alisa finished 2nd in her arena

Alice finished 3rd in her arena

Beth finished 6th in her arena.

This was a fantastic result for our younger members to win under such conditions and Hannah was not feeling to well, hope this result makes her feel better. Beth Alice and Alisa were competiting at this level for the first time. They all rode extremly well  and are a credit to the club. WELL DONE  girls.

Pictured below is the junior team with their trainer and chief instructor Tracy Rivett.

 

 

 

The Novice Team

William Torr on Budweiser

Charlotte Sutton on Toffee Crisp

Grace Webster on Savanah

The team was not placed in the team event, but Grace came 6th in her arena, Charlotte came 6th in her arena and William finished 11th

 

 

The Intermediate Team 

Karen Lamb on Bettie Bubble came 3rd in her arena

Georgina Barth on Mouse came 4th in her arena

Charlotte Scott on Black and White Magic came 2nd in her arena

Griff Nicholson on Dancing Annie finished well down the order as Annie took a dislike dressage on the day and refused to work well in the arena,although she had warmed up really well. I'm sure she will redeem herself at the championships.

The team finished in second place at the intermediate dressage competition at Arena UK. A fantastic result.

The team did really well to finish 2nd in such wet conditions although the dressage arenas were on a very good surface, it was very wet under foot and in the warm up arenas, the team  are now looking forward to going to the championships at Shelford in August, we wish them well. 

Photo below is Karen, Georgina and Charlotte, receiving their rosettes for individual and team placings, plus the medels, Griff is missing as he had to go home before the presentation.

Open Dressage

Arena UK 21st July 2007

The Area Open Dressage we had a team of 3 members Nicola Whitmore, Anna Sutton and Liz Rooney.

Nicola on Toto finished in 5th place in her arena, Anna on Norman finished 3rd in her arena, and Liz had the same problems as Griff, Cally just did not settle in the arena so Liz retired although again she had warmed up really well.

Well done to Nicola and Anna pictured below getting their rosettes for individual placings.
