I am very very proud of Sara Malpass for coming 6th at the Hickstead Prelim Championships today! What a fantastic result! And thankyou for my photo, i love the rugs you won.-
Louise Wilkinson and Pogo first and third up at Patchetts in the BD novices. Brilliant!
Emails like these from Denise Roissetter about her daughter Claire Roissetter are what keeps me doing my job...... "Hi Tracey! We're at the Badminton Grassroots Championships and just wanted to let you know that Claire and Harvey have done the best dressage on 22.8!!!! They won the dressage at Badminton! So proud of them both and as you've played such a huge part in his dressage prowess, thought you'd like to have a proud Auntie moment too!! Thank you so much for everything you have taught them over the years. Unfortunately had a fence down sj, but still lying 5th. XC today, so fingers crossed they have a lovely round and get back in one piece, then I can stop feeling sick!! Dx" . Claire was third in the end at the Badminton championships. Still brings a tear to my eye thinking about this as we worked so hard and had so much fun for years heading towards this dream. Now its reality!
Thankyou so much to everyone who came to support the In Hand Dressage Action Against Cancer Demo at Cloud Stables. James, Alfie, Del and I had a fab evening and hope you all did too. Things i have learnt and will not do next time......try to run as fast as Dels extended trot with a microphone attached to my head.....let a pigeon poo on me....allow James have a slot on the demo as now he wants a longer 'lunging give paw carrot stretching part' on the next one.
I went to Oldencraig in Surrey and clever Alf won his first Elementary Dressage to Music with 70.57%! We also won Elementary 45 outright with Alfs best Ele score so far 72.06%! His first 8's for both medium trots and 10m circles, halts and rein back!
Alf is now out of Novice points and i was very happy that he won his last ever BD Novice test with 71.92% He was such a good boy in BCA indoor for first time.
