NW RIDERS SUCCESS AT THE PET PLAN<br />
AREA FESTIVALS<br />
Amy Hazel and Westhills Wrock Star<br />
have certainly had a winning start to<br />
their partnership by claiming Prelim Area<br />
Champions at Weston Lawns Area<br />
Championships. Amy bought Jacob last<br />
year as a 5 year old and spent the winter<br />
training hard with Julie Yardley.<br />
Amy says 'it is great to have won this as it<br />
is great to have something as a<br />
recognition of all the hard work we have<br />
put in’. When I got him he had no self<br />
balance in the canter and would have to<br />
make sure we rode in an arena with<br />
fencing as we were likely to be on the other side !'. 'I’m so pleased to have found him. He is such<br />
a laid back character and now we are going to have a great winter together training and playing<br />
a little, ready for the championships in April.'<br />
Fay Butlin with Freckleton Melody<br />
decided to have a go at Petplan after<br />
taking a visit to the Championships in<br />
April 2011. She wasn’t sure what to<br />
expect of the competition, but as Fay<br />
could compete at every phase of the<br />
contest fairly locally she thought it<br />
would be worth trying to qualify. After<br />
getting her two qualifying scores, Fay<br />
went to the Area festival at Weston<br />
Lawns. Melody is not always an easy<br />
Ride and Fay never really knows what she is going to be working with until the day comes.<br />
Luckily for Fay, Melody tried really hard for her in their test on the day and they were totally<br />
thrilled to get the top placing. ‘I am now very excited about going to the championships in April<br />
next year; a Championship I admired so much when watching it myself just a year ago’.<br />
Sam Fish with Cumeragh House Mac took the Medium Open title at Kingswood Area<br />
Festival. Mac is 10 years old and by the TB, 'Pocketed', out if a Shire mare, 'Mill Lane Pearl'.<br />
He won the medium open at Kingswood last year so it was great to do it again this year and<br />
also to be 2nd in the Advanced Medium Open as well! ‘I am really pleased with his<br />
performance and we are now working on PSG for next year’<br />
