New Forest County Show
We had never seen this show so busy but still had a very pleaseing day with Enigma being pulled from 22nd to 5th in his already split large gelding class. Elton was pulled upto 7th in his large Stallion class.
In the riddens we had a 6th with Elton in the Stallion ridden which eventually started at 7pm!
Highlight of the day was Haywards Cherry B and Anna Brearley getting pulled upto 2nd in their hotley contested small open class.
We also had Elton on the NFPPG stand on the Tuesday and Newcopse Red cedar and her foal Haywards King's Ransom on there on the Thursday both of which loved having fuss from the huge crowds they drew!

Cadnam Native pony Gala
Seeing as Impressionist is entered for the Breed show we thought it would be wise to take him to a "Party" before hand as he has only ever been shown once before!!
He behaved very well and Won the 2/3yo colt class and then went on to become reserve Youngstock champion.A very pleasing result to go with his win at the breed show last year!

A very hot day for both Ponies and Riders at this very busy show did not stop us having a great day with some great placings.
Haywards Fleurella did a faultless display in her first Picton Qualifier class and came a fantastic 3rd out of an enormous entry and then went on to come 2nd in the Novice ridden exc 138cm after giving the ridden judge a super ride in an even larger class of very nice ponies.
Haywards Intuition came a respectable 6th in another large class of 2/3 year old geldings
Haywards Cherry b had a great day also with a 4th in the jnr ridden, 5th in the open ridden, 3rd Prelim 10 dressage and a fantastic 3rd again in her first ever Novice dressage test which also gained her the honour of highest junior in the dressage overall!

We only decided to take Haywards Intuition at the last minute and entered him in both the hunter/sports pony in which he came 4th with his half sister Haywards Cherry B coming 3rd and the New forest youngstock class in which he came a fantastic 2nd despite a strong turnout.
Haywards Cherry b went on to win the large M&M ridden class and then take the overall
M&M championship despite some very tough competition.Well done to Anna and Cherry x

New Park Equestrian open show
This show was an ideal opportunity to take some of our "babies" out and get them used to a show atmosphere in preparation for the bigger shows that are coming up,All the ponies were brilliantly behaved and totally unfazed by what turned out to be a very busy show!
Haywards Cherry B competed in her first working hunter of the year and jumped a faultless round and came a fantastic 4th out of the rather large 36 entries that took part!
Haywards Jemima now owned by 12yr old Jessica Gates won her yearling class after being expertly shown by Jessica in what was a first time outing for both pony and very nervous owner!
Haywards I'm the one owned by Teresa Russell was pulled from the back line up to take 2nd 
and Haywards Illusion owned by Hayley Tanner took 4th in the well supported 2/3yr old class.
Haywards Fleurella and Haywards Enigma took 4th and 5th respectively in the 4yr old and over class.
In the Riddens Fleurella went impeccably to come 2nd in her first ever ridden novice class and Enigma went beautifully to take 4th in his first open class of his career.
