‘Fairy Tail’ training at Connell Hill
Everyone wants to excel and be the best and so to get there one must train; hence equine enthusiasts travelled to Connell Hill to ‘Train’ on Friday night where riders had the opportunity to jump colourful tracks designed to encourage horse and rider forward with on hands help and advice. This Friday night show, which is ‘training/schooling’ and also a friendly family social occasion, commenced with clear rounds in the x-poles class for Eve O’Neill on ‘Snowflake’, Charlotte McAllister on ‘Timmy’ and Fynn O’Neill on ‘Snowflake’. These three very enthusiastic young riders then soared to greater heights claiming clear rounds in the 40 cm class. It was then ‘Fairy Tail’ time as Maeve Carlin on ‘Cinders’ and Kym Moore on ‘Apple Jack’, enjoyed the experience on their appropriately named ponies, with their tails swishing, jumping clear in the 50 cm class and then go on confidently jumping double clear in the 60 cm class. With the track adjusted for the 70 cm class Erin Dunseath jumped the first double clear on ‘Molly’ and go on, asserting her skill, to claim double clear in the 80 cm class. Young ladies with huge talent and ability displayed their skill jumping superb double clear rounds in the 90 cm class were Jodie Creighton on ‘Dollar’, Caron Reid on ‘Misstelle’ and Sarah Wylie on ‘Snowy’ with Caron on ‘Misstelle’ then taking the 1.0 m challenge to claim the only double clear round. With this Training Show continuing next Friday night, x-poles, 40 & 50 cm classes, 60 cm – 1.0 m classes, everyone is welcome.
