Steve unbeaten in the Bay of Islands

Mon, 14/11/2011 - 7:17am — admin
Steve rode B. Sally Gap to four wins at the Bay of Islands A&P Showhunter Lowhunter classes on the 13th November 2011. It was Steves first time competing in registered Showhunter and Sallys second time in the registered hack ring.

He came away with a great big grin and many ideas about what he will do next with his awesome Welsh cob X tb mare.

My kids Conor and Niamh were excited to hear about the snow that landed here at midday on Monday 15th August 2011, of course they were at school and no snow landed there.

Niamh rode her 12-2hh Welsh partbred pony Serenity Sam in the junior ring at the Intermediate Schools Ribbon Day hosted by Clevedon Pony Club. The grounds and facilities at Clevedon are simply wonderful and a hot dry day resulted in a nice day for her and Serenity.
