National Novice Show Jumping Championships at Kelsall 05/09/2009

A great day was had by all at the National Novice Show Jumping championships at Kelsall yesterday (29.08.09).  We qualified just the one team this year, Stephanie Hughes, Oli Powell Jones, Ellie Williams and Sam Ecroyd and they did really well coming in twelfth place in the end,  but did extremely well in the tack and turnout competition gaining a second!!    Also Nan Jones did superbly to qualify her pony Gucci in the individuals and just had an unlucky 2 poles down in the jump off.  

We were also represented in the dressage champs by Lucy Grindal  and Grace Pritchard and they both did well in such a huge competition.

And today  Sam Ecroyd  won  The  Horse Trials Championships with a super double clear and great dressage!  Well done Sam and everyone else for taking part!

Bryn y Grog on 27th May ... 07/06/2009

We all had a super day at the Sir WWW branches Show Jumping competition at Bryn y Grog on 27th May.

Not many of you could make it on the day due to other commitments but we eventually managed to put together 4 show jumping teams.

In the seniors we won the 2’9 and 3’ classes and in the junior we were 2nd in the 12 and under and 14 and under with many F&D gaining individuals as well.

Thanks to everyone who participated, you were a credit to your branch and trainers. Thank you to Wendy for the photos.

F&D members do us proud ... 19/03/2009

Saturday the 14th March saw Archie & Ivor Fetherstonhaugh, Oliver Powel Jones & Phoebe Woodbine take part in the WWW Hunt supporters team show jumping event at Tushingham, nr Whitchurch.  The team had a resounding success in their first class, beating in the region of 25 teams of all ages.  They then continued their  successful day with a fourth place in the 3ft class narrowly being beaten by ex and current older F&D members, Lorna Rees, Mari, Catherine &  Helen Jones who took team 2nd place in this class. 

Quite a result for a team aged between 9-12 years of age.

Well done, we’re proud of you all!!!

Pony Club Area 5 Winter League 2008-2009 15/10/08

Winter League Show Jumping teams still doing a fantastic job with results as follows.

March 8th 2009 ... Well, thats it.  The end to a very exciting show jumping Winter League where we led most of the way in all four classes only to be beaten at the very end in two of them, but taking the trophy in the other two!!  Overall results are as follows

• Class 1   10 years and under.   Beaten into 2nd place by 1 point
  
• Class 2    13 years and under.  2nd place again by a couple of points
  
• Class 3   Intermediate.  Clear winners by  10 points
  
• Class 4    Open.  Very clear winners by nearly 20 points!!
  

When you take into account that there are 14 branches in Area 5,  two firsts and two seconds is brilliant, so very well done Flint & Denbigh. ( No pressure but I would quite like 4 firsts next year!!! )

We had some consistent double clear results from a lot of our team members with Sophie Toogood coming out on top with 8!  Georgia Cabb had 7, Brier Leahy, Louise Edwards, and  Georgia Williams had 6.  Lois Roberts, Lucy Grindal and Nan Jones had 5 and many more of you had double clears also.  Well done to you all for  brilliant TEAM EFFORTS.

Here are a couple of photos from our final competition at Aintree.

And dont forget -  training is on-going as we look forward to the area competitions in the summer!!!

January 31st 2009 ... our last  Winter League Show Jumping competition was in Aintree on January 31st.  What a super venue, really light, modern and not too cold!!  There was a huge turnout with class 1 having 42 entries, class 2 - 63, class 3 - 58 and class 4 - 30 entries. But that didnt stop us!!

• Class 1, with Ffion Roberts, Georgia Williams, Jake Wilson and Georgia Cabb came 1st
• Class 2, with Nan Jones, Naomi A Jones, Toni Roberts and Louise Edwards came 3rd
• Class 3, with Wednesday Rytter, Stephanie Hughes, Lucy Grindal and Brier Leahy came 1st (4th time in a row)
