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 />
