Geeze, finally a show at Amberlea when the arena isn't flooded. It DID rain Saturday night, but not overly so, and not when anyone was riding so that was a pleasant change for the venue!
Team Hillside did well. The three year olds were the stars, with both Magnus and Triton getting good scores, including 70 for Triton, and 70 point something for Magnus! Edgar looked like he was going to collapse into a puddle during Amanda's last stretch trot, but was otherwise a much more obedient horse than her other attempt at that level, and they were able to do all the movements when they were supposed to, and for as long as they were supposed to! I imagine Amanda is pretty sore today from keeping him going!
Tommy was also pretty good, and is proving himself to be a sensible show horse. Tamara rode him well and also got some respectable scores and placings.
Got to meet Michelle's new horse, who is quite lovely...he just looked a little shocked all the time! I think he was a little out of his usual element of jumping and being in the bush! Nice horse though, and it will be good to see them jumping!
I had fun coaching and being the whipper in. I do vastly prefer keeping busy at a horse show, and volunteering is a good way to ,meet people and see all the horses.
Speaking of volunteering...looking for help for Sunday for the Ride for Red show! In particular for someone to do the gate, and to help with the early morning course build. Let me know if you can help out with these things!
