There’s something so special about competing in the Wally blue. Competing for more than just yourself, but a bunch of ladies who have your back. I love going to the ARCA challenges and feeling part of a team who just genuinely wants the best for each other regardless of the results! Proud to be president of this club that prioritises encouragement, fun & always lending a helping hand 💙

Tina and her team, Secret Womens Business WA capturing some ripper snaps of the Golden Princess from the ARCA challenge a few weeks ago 💙👑

Love this blonde butt and her eagerness to jump! State Tet is next weekend & then a quiet couple months as we focus on her confidence & strength!

I decided to put our focus back on SJ for the last few weeks, working towards getting Melly comfortable and capable and ready to compete at the 80cm height! Buuuut when invited us out for a XC play at the SEC, I couldn’t say no!

I decided to be intentional and kept it easy, and to not tackle many fences as she’d already had a big week and been putting her best foot forward for me! Was so nice to go out, have a calm pony, have a play and set her up for an easy, confidence building ride!

She’s absolutely been coming along in leaps and bounds, the future is exciting and the now has been so great to have moments of purely just enjoying this special partnership that continues to grow us both 💙

How this special pony makes light work of starting to pop some bigger fences has me a bit excited 🥹😍

She’s both ripper and brave, but doesn’t hand it to me easily, learning so much & having so much fun with her (if you can’t tell already 😆)!

Okay, but how cute is Comet in these pics from the heavy horse show a few weeks ago… Definitely have a soft spot for this guy 🥹🥰

Can’t believe I had almost convinced my self I could be a straight show jumper, when the only place I’m actually captured smiling while riding is cross country- can’t hide that feeling 🥰😬

And we get to go again next weekend! Bring on Tetrathlon number 2 💪🏽

Thanks for the epic shots Secret Womens Business WA 💙

If I’m completely honest breed shows are definitely not my comp of choice, buuut it was a pleasure to be able to do it with Comet for his wonderful owner Claire 🥰

The way that the AHHA WA Heavy Horse and Breed State Show was run made it a perfect environment to get Comet calm & confident and able to be calmly ridden in the afternoon class!

Of course the pretty boy absolutely cleaned up, and ended up in the top 5 for Supreme of Supreme in the in-hand classes!

The ridden class in the afternoon was perfect for his first ridden show, we were the only ones in the class which allowed us to take time & let it be an educational ride for him! It was a little wobbly & a couple moments of rushing, buuut ultimately so proud of this horse who continues to impress us ❤️🥰

Big thanks to Claire for trusting me to start this special boy under saddle & take him to his first few adventures!

Here Lou goes again with one of her slightly crazy, out of the box ideas & the golden princess just has the bestest attitude to come along for the ride!

But hey - the hard work of training not just myself, but getting Melly ready for her first ever XC run, absolutely paid off!

Day 1, run, shoot, swim!
The run definitely carried me through the Tet, managing to run my 1km in 4.17, was so fun to run fast & the knees held up beautifully! Although the lactic acid was another story 🤣🫣

I was pretty happy with my shoot, with only shooting a couple times beforehand, I can’t complain & even managed to get two 9’s on the board!

The swim… well swimming is HARD and I did what I needed to do and must have been kicking for my life because the jelly legs were so real when I got out of the pool 🤣

Day 2: 65cm XC

Melly was ripper, I had a game plan - trot anything she was questioning, because her confidence was most important - then canter when she felt good! And she felt good!!! In the end we spent most of it powering on!
Just the one refusal, which was actually kinda funny - as we came around the corner Melly locked on to the 80cm fence, so I overcorrected her, she got confused and we had a little run out - absolutely can not be mad at the pony for being brave and wanting to jump the bigger fence! The jockey clearly needs to work on her line 🤪

Best part about a support crew - I was mega blessed to come away from the weekend with plenty of footage for you all to enjoy - see if you can spot the moment where Melly pops in two flying changes as we canter through the trees 🥰❤️

What an absolutely ripper weekend!

So proud of the golden princess for smashing her first cross country round, so excited to have knees that are holding up to running (and running fast), so blessed to be surrounded by people who care & show up and are are able to help in the ways I didn’t even know I needed!

Full Tetrathlon report to come, but for now, a few thank you’s!

Thankyou Wallangara Pony Club for hosting such a well run and encouraging event & to Donna for answering my many questions and being so helpful & inclusive, Tet is lucky to have you! To Liam, for spending our 5 year wedding anniversary running around after me and learning how to XC jump judge! And to my support crew, i definitely understand estimated how nice it is to have people on the sidelines cheering you on - not just for the day, but because they know how hard I worked to get here!

Honestly, taking home the win was just the icing on the cake for a lot of moments worth celebrating.

And extra shout out to one of my wonderful students, Gemma, who took out 2nd place! She’s been patiently working hard and done a bunch of tets - and this weekend hard work and patience paid off - proud of you!!!

Friday mornings beach was absolutely beautiful, such glassy water and so still 🥰

So proud of the Golden Princess, from the first beach trip of summer of her being stressed and not able to stand still - to now being the calm horse & being able to pony a horse she’s never met. Time and consistency well and truly paying off 😌🥰
