Area 4 Horse and Pony Care Competition 20th May 2012

Senior Team - Aalish Creer, Abby Turner Drewry and Katy Robinson
Junior Team - Isla Curphey, Charlotte Driver and Nell Kinnish

Well done to Senior team who came 5th!

The Area 4 Horse and Pony Care Competition was held at Deandane Riding Stables, Wigan on Sunday 20th May.  The Isle of Man Branch entered both a Senior team and a Junior Team however the average age in both the Manx teams was extremely young.  This competition involves a series of tasks which test the members knowledge and practical capabilities.  Both teams put up very creditable performances and the Senior team finished 5th - just a few points behind the winners. Well done to both teams.

The above team members and ponies along with team trainers Jane Cross and Cheryl Curphey competed in the Area 4 Prince Philip Cup Games  competition which was held at Newland Green Equestrian Centre on Saturday 19th May and was hosted by the Furness and District Branch of the Pony Club.  It wasn't a very nice day weather wise but at least it didn't rain however it was really cold both for the competitors and their ponies.  In spite of the difficult conditions the Isle of Man performed extremely well to produce a convincing win.  This win qualifies the team to compete at the Zone finals which are to be held at Onley Grounds, Coventry on the weekend of 30th June/1st July, however the Isle of Man will be competing on the second day - Sunday 1st July.  Good luck to the team who are already training.
