The equestrian team had an enjoyable day at Waiuku yesterday and certainly represented the school with great Sportsmanship and a keenness to try hard and learn from the experience. With lots of support from the parents as well.
The team finished 16= out of the 22 teams competing which with 3 x Year 9 riders is encouraging for the future.
Ysabella had to borrow a horse over the weekend as her pony had gone lame (reserve Alec is hurt). But she rode really well riding a much bigger horse than she is used to and for only the 3rd time yesterday. They got a 9th in her Level 1 dressage test.
Eliza had her first Show Hunter competition and finished 4th in both her 60 & 70cm classes.
Grace got a 3rd in her first 60cm showjumping round and an unfortunate rail in her 2nd 70cm showjumping class put in her in 5th place.
Kaitlyn rode very well in her 80cm showjumping round for a 7th place. Unfortunately their 90cm didn't go quite to plan with her pony taking a few rails.
