Gosh what a wonderful week with Mikaela Martin at Shongweni Highway Shows world cup.
Mikaela and Midfeeds Tackntogs Alzu Vulcan jumping their first 1.50m Grand Prix. Wow Micks proud parents. Janson Martin
With my BOOTS breaking moments before the Grand Prix and only one horse after Mikaela. I did not give Cassy a good warm up, so was not our best.
Cassy jumping a super 1.40m class on day one and Micky jumped him in the 1.35m Champs.
Micky and Vulcan 4th in the 1.35m A2 Speed, 1.50m Grand Prix and one very unlucky pole in a big and technical 1.40m Champs.
Micky and Penbritte Sherlock jumped a faultless show (placing in all her classes) qualifying in the top 30 1.30m Champs, coming 6th. Clear and places in 3 of her 4 classes with Penbritte Quick Silver and unlucky pole with Abnaki in each class in the 1.20m classes. ( Charlene Campher Michael Campher ). He was super at the show.
Penbritte Cherokee jumping super confident and extravagant clears in the 1m classes with a unlucky pole at the last in the Championship jump off.
Penbritte Beat That and I (our 1st 1m) jumped 3 faultless classes and getting a place. She only spooked at the joker in the accumulator.
Takara and I had a tack malfunction forcing a retirement due to a saddle slipping and then got a 4th in the 1.20m Championship.
Penbritte horses did very well at this show, with Megan Joanna Cunningham's Penbritte Coslo coming 2nd in the top 30 1.30m Champs.
Thanks to my Penbritte Equestrian Centre team for running things. Mish Ndlovu Mzwandile Nhlapo and Joseph Lenyepa for your help at the show. Oscar Ncube, Rob Holder Anthony Ward Peter Dunias Epol Equine Flex-on ๐๐๐๐.
