DEAR READERS….<br />
I cannot deny it, I felt a sense of loss and<br />
sadness following the closing ceremony<br />
of the Olympic Games. I thought they<br />
were fantastic, so much success across so<br />
many disciplines, who would ever think<br />
GB could get a gold in Gymnastics… and<br />
then not just one!<br />
It just wasn’t our time for the Eventing<br />
team for one reason or another but<br />
hopefully they will come back all guns<br />
blazing in Tokyo. Charlotte du Jardin<br />
and Valegro were out of this world and will it<br />
be a “where were you” moment when we talk about Nick Skelton winning gold.<br />
Just the six in the jump off, he goes clear and then holding our breath as the other<br />
five completed, we are shouting at the TV, “he’s in bronze medal position, he’s in<br />
silver medal position…. Its Gold” What a moment!<br />
So after that and then the girls Hockey on that Friday, I was exhausted!<br />
The beginning of August (well end of July technically) started with our own<br />
<strong>Equestrian</strong> <strong>Life</strong> Championships. 16 years old now and competitors enjoy them as<br />
much now as they did the early years. There was then Trailblazers and UK Riders<br />
and the Side Saddle Nationals that enjoyed record entries. Glorious weather<br />
helped make the Championships go with a flow.<br />
Lastly, we report from Frickley BE and the u18 Championships. A fantastic result<br />
for the Midlands Team – of which our cover star, Oliver Jackson was one – Sam<br />
York gives us the full low down!<br />
