Hi all,
well its been a very long time and I have alot to bring you up to speed with.
My End of this season all started with being selected to represent WA in the PCA Nationals to be held in Sydney. What a blast that was after our 5 day journey across the Nullabor to land at Staurt and Karen Tinneys I then had 2 days to prepare for the PCANSW State Showjumping Championships. What a blast that was we had a small team that decided to compete in this aswell as Nationals
Fraser Bower
Veronica Stone
Alison Lokan
Hannah Fletcher
and Myself
We did seem to prove that WA has the potential to be Scary at Nationals as we showed them what we were all about
Nationals 2009 Sydney
A week of Laughs, Competitions, Bonding and complete Mayhem we were definatly the best team to be around. We all did extremely well, as of which I am not individually writing everyones results http://www.ponyclubnationals.org.au/
Camden CNC 2* and Prelim Unfortunatly Leedale Distinctive Guy didnt get to complete his whole course only doing Dressage and Showjumping due to technical problems and management time restraints of the committee cancelling the Prelim XC
but Sebastian and I managed to complete our first 2* clear in XC and nearly making time... who says Seb is slow :) unfortunatly no place there but definatly a very good event to take place in
Sydney International Three Day Event.
WOW! I have never seen such a well sort out and presented event. I loved it soo much. I also Caught up with another West Aussie who came over for the event Sophie Warren.
At this event I only competed in the CCI 1* as I wasnt qualified. I had a Great event off the tope of my head I think I came 18th out of a quite a big field.
Scone CNC 2*
The Dust storm event. Yes all those epic dust storms that were hitting NSW yes we competed in one at this event...
Scone is such a wonderful event literally in the middle of no where set on the lovely undulating ground on the side of a hill. Just magnificent. Again off the top of my head I think I came 10th which was great knowing I can eventually start comparing myself to the Olympic Standard riders on my trusty steed.
Canberra CIC 2*
Cold Wet yeah well what else it was a very good event after having by far the worst dressage test ever I managed to pick it up after I went clear in XC with small time and clear in SJ I have to say there were 2 riders who went clear in SJ over a whole course of plastic jumps and they were both WA rider Sophie and Myself. Sophie did very well here Winning! and I managed to come 6th !!!
Goulbern CIC2*
Always a stressing one, the last event before the Australian International Three Day. To not over do it Not push the horse but also give them a good run and confidence boost before the event very difficult. But im still here two legs and arms and Seb is still with 4 legs!
Unfortunatly we did inccur a runout but still managed to be seconds away from the time. So I was extremely please with that
After my months I spent at the Tinneys, Training there I moved down to SA to Gillian Roltens to prepare a little closer to the event. Not bad staying with the organiser.
Anyway Bye for now I shall try to update this whilst im competing so stay posted!
Elizabeth Moore and Sebastian Bach
