The latest news from Abby Steel

I took Pinky to her first show last weekend; in her first class (80cms) she got a double clear and came 3rd and in her second (90cms) she got another double clear and came second. Which we are really pleased about!! We are planning to keep her at this level for a couple of weeks to make sure she is comfortable and to just get her experience of going to different places and jumping different courses.

Last thursday i took Lilly along to a BSJA academy training at Weston Equestrian Centre with Tamsin Conyers where she behaved very well and jumped everything which was put in front of her! I learnt a lot of things about how to get round a bigger course sucessfully. I am taking her to Lime Kiln Equestrian centre this saturday to compete her in her first newcomers which is about 1.10cm - 1.15cm so fingers crossed also we are competing at Forest Edge's pre Olympia show next Thursday and doing the Discovery class and Newcomers and hopefully we will qualify through to Saturdays championships!!.
