We've had a lovely long weekend and on Sunday Georgie, the girls and all the family headed out to Cambridge and District Riding Club show at Cottenham, as we do most years!
Rather than take the big horses this year we decided it was ponies only and we had a wonderful day which was a very friendly and well run show with great prizes and beautiful rosettes. The day started with the 55cm showjumping, I think this was Frankie's first proper showjumping competition. She jumped a lovely clear first round but sadly had a pole in the jump off (which was huge and the biggest she's ever jumped!) giving her a third 🥉!
Onto the showing; Ronnie and Frankie performed a foot perfect show in the First Ridden and they were rewarded with a first 🥇 for which she won a beautiful red rosette as well as a bottle of stain remover! Perfect for Ronnie's white socks!
The Veteran class was very hotly contested but again they did brilliantly, cantering round the ring with the other horses (and even coping when a horse lost control and galloped round) and came away with a second. 🥈!
The championship was very competitive and after a really long day Frankie very sensibly decided she was done for the day.

Millie came along and had a lovely time with Frankie jumping a few rounds of the clear round which Millie flew. So proud of Francesca considering Millie is really a lead rein pony but they went off and jumped the round and Frankie was flying! Millie absolutely loved it!
Fenella did her first ever competition age 22 months doing the Fancy Dress lead by her big sister. There were some amazing outfits and lots of competition but she got a very respectable 5th and won a goody bag and promptly devoured the packet of polos in it. Two very tired but happy children who adore their ponies

Thank you to CDRC for a lovely day!
