Last ever Pony Club area competition

Rachel is 21 now and this was therefore her last ever competition representing our Pony club - we all trooped over to very nearly the East coast, 3 teams of dressage riders and Rachel doing the open as an individual. Two teams had second placings, the other a third, and several children were placed individually too. Rachel had the unfortunate bad luck to be doing her test as a group of children (competitors who should have known better) clattered up the road behind the arena. This proved rather too much for Sonny to concentrate and his test was quite tense, although Rachel rode him really well considering he just wanted to gallop off with them. She then helped with the novice team, and was really chuffed that Jethro came 2nd in his arena.
Rachel's college friend Anna and her Mum came to see us with their beautiful 7-month old Newfoundland puppy, Ruby, who was an absolute hit with everyone!
