Another Successful Day

We decided to jump all three BSJA registered horses at SNEC yesterday. Carousel Dreaming's registration had just come through the day before. We hadn't expected the show to be so busy and there were 40 in her 80cm class, 16 going through to the jump-off, including her. She had a nice first round, despite the scary fillers being in the jumps. She was 10th to go and Leanne was instructed where to turn. Blow me down, she won it by 2 seconds! Not to be outdone, Ruby Shy won the 90cm Amateur Qualifier by over 5 seconds and Laguna Flame was 2nd in the British Novice and 3rd in the 1m Open.

Carousel Does it Again

Off we went to Howe Country Centre on Saturday to give Carousel Dreaming a bit of experience. Ruby Shy went too to keep her ticking over. Carousel got third in her first class before winning her second. Ruby, not to be outdone, won both of hers. All in all, a grand day out.

Another winner makes her debut!

Carousel Dreaming (TP Starbuck x Silverfrost Fantasia), a home bred mare, has now started her performance career in some style by winning her class this week. She jumped a couple of lovely rounds and won in a 3 horse jump-off. Ruby Shy, not to be outdone, won a first and a second in her classes. Carousel has lots of potential and gives us another one to take out on the circuit. She's still a baby so we won't rush her, but what a promising start!
