COLQUITE THANK YOU LETTER
What a fantastic day we had!
Setting out for Camel Valley's Fun Ride in the sun, last year I remember I phoned you because it was raining cats and dogs
in Newquay and windy too and I was amazed to hear you say that all was well at Colquite. It really is such a magic places
as once again the weather was perfect. Countess
Le Grille remarked that yesterday would have been too hot, it certainly would.
We arrived in good time and were under way on the dot of 10.
The going was excellent, interesting
puddles and mud for our boys to make a mess in of our nice clean tacvk! As you know things then got more "interesting".
As we were one of the earliest
to go we gaily followed the tapes without a care in the world. All too soon we found ourselves picking our way over a cropped
section of timber, very good exercise for concentratin your horse's mind on picking his feet up and rounding his back nicely.
At the far side we found several other riders scratching their heads as to where to go next. We all ventured hither and thither
to find the right track, and each time we returned to the starting point more riders had turned up.
Thankfully you came to the rescue
and we soon got away.
Our horses felt that they had
finally got out for a day's hunting as they really felt quite excited to meet up with so many others. fortunately none of
them got too over the top and it wasn't long before we could open the throttle and burn off some of the excitement.
Sorry we pulled out of the drop
into the river, we thought it was another "rearrangement" and took the easy option. I gather though that it wasn't as bad
as it looked from what other riders said.
Boy were we glad to find the
pasty wagon hadn't been mis=directed. How nice it was of the Countess to stop by and chat with us. Is it her daughter Sarah who has the young stock at the top of the drive, or are you the Sarah she spoke of? Please give her out thanks for letting us have the experience of riding in those
lovely woods. Thanks to the Committee and helpers, I know only too well how much effort is needed to organise an event.
When I walked in the door about
an hour longer than I had foolishly estimated and explained why, my husband responded "well that's a new one!". Punctuallity
and horse rides do not seem to go hand in had do they?
Look forward now to next year
and thanks again,
Becky Gee

DRESSAGE CHAMPIONSHIP
To qualify or not to qualify that is the Question ?
The phone
rang, it was Michelle
– “do you want the good news or the bad first ?” “Ok,
go for the bad” says I. “You are the only one who wants to do the
dressage qualifier” ! “Oh, well I may as well show my face and fly
the flag for the Club”.
So undaunted
by the prospect of me and Spice being CVRC’s team and having opted to do the Novice 20 (couldn’t do a prelim test
because I was Billy No Mates) and also the harder Riding Test because I had done it before, I started to practice, ably assisted
by Sophie – Thanks ! The Cornish summer prevailed and for those that dont
know St. Leonard’s it is about a millimetre above the water table ! So
the qualifier was postponed until August and hopefully a dry day. Well the morning
was dry and lady luck was obviously on my side because I didn’t get wet whilst on board, a great many others did later. The Novice test went well, although we have done better, a respectable 64.5% and 7th
out of 15 or so. Tiredness started overtaking me before the Riding Test, 6am start
after a 40th birthday party into the small hours – not a good idea, but you’re only young once aren’t
you ? So when the time came to do the test I was past caring, what would be would
be ? So how shocked was I when on checking the scores on the doors to see that
Debbie Randall
from Holsworthy and I are both on a score of 136 way ahead of all the others ?? On
countback she claimed the first rosette and I the second plus the coveted qualification for the National Championships.
Then started
my dilemma, the Championships were on Saturday 5th September at Lincoln County Showground, I was booked onto the
1.45pm train to Reading for my exams on Sunday 6th September; could I go, should I go, it’s a long bl**dy
way for six minutes, what about revision ? But I may never qualify again and
our riders went out to Hong Kong for three eight minute tests !!
So throwing
caution to the wind I decided we should go. Sue Trudgeon and Max,
had also qualified for the Prelim Finals, albeit for St. Austell Bay EC (boo hiss) and we
asked another friend of mine, also called Sue and yes it did get a tad confusing at times with two Sues, to chauffeur us there
and back again. Well the journey up was ten hours long, we queued from Helland
to Birmingham with a little bit of rain to keep us company
just for good measure. I have decided that in the next life I am going to be
in charge of one of those electronic overhead signs, you know the ones that advise
you to be cautious because of spray and queues ahead when you’re nose to
tail doing twenty miles an hour !! Anyway I digress, we checked in, flu vacs
all ok, settled the horses down in their temporary stables for the night, opened the bottles of wine, set up camp and got
some well deserved food then sleep.
Morning
came all too soon and the nerves started to kick in, so Sue and I took the horses out for a little wander after breakfast,
just managed to persuade them that they didn’t want to gallop madly and race each other along the flat expanse of grass
that was stretched out before us, but only just, as it was all very exciting. By
now the mud was ankle deep so as I cleaned my tack in readiness I formulated a plan, plait her and stud her up in the stable
then walk her down to the lorry for us both to get dressed properly. The plan
worked a treat and as Sue wiped the mud from my long boots after climbing on board
you would never have known that all around us lay six inches of mud ! I found
my arena and the warm up area, got tack and person checked – out came the earrings, no jewellery allowed or whips, whoops,
knew about the spurs, but no whip either. I needn’t have worried though
as she was very responsive to my leg aids, just a shame about the brakes. All
too soon it was my turn. Thinking “well its now or never with not a gondolier
in sight” in we trotted and said g’day to the writer. Whilst waiting
for the dreaded bell I prodded Spice in the neck and told her that if she didn’t do as I asked for the next six minutes
I was going to leave her there !! True to form she duly did everything where
and when I asked her and I came out feeling well chuffed that we’d gone and given it our best shot. I said all along that I didn’t want to go up there and come dog last and we certainly didn’t
do that by any means, 18th out of 31 in the arena with 63.5%.
Sue wasn’t
on till a couple of hours later, but she followed my lead and got them both dressed at the lorry. Only trouble was that after she got on there were several continuous outbursts of rain, one of which dissolved
her number. At this point Sue declared that she wasn’t going into her arena
until the sun shone, a bit optimistic I thought, but she obviously has friends in very high places because as she entered
at A the clouds parted and the sun shone ! Max
was nearly on his best behaviour and only spooked twice at the rather large flower pots with horse eating plants in them at
either side of A. A very tidy performance that earned them 63.75% and 8th
out of 30 in their arena, well done.
Then it
was shopping and eating time. Luckily there weren’t too many shops to browse
so didn’t spend oodles of cash, phew. As the juniors started to enter the
site we reluctantly mucked out, packed and then ordered the tractor to tow the lorry out.
Sue and I walked the horses to the hardstanding for loading and hoped that
they both wanted to go home as much as we did. They obviously did as they both
walked up the ramp at first ask.
Thankfully
the journey home was in better weather, think I saw a round shiny disc in the sky once or twice before darkness drew down. We finally landed back at the yard at 1am,
unpacked, offloaded and said our cheerios. Spice had her tea, got rugged up and
sent off out in her field with a “thank you and see you in six days” as she trotted off into the distance to find
her mate, obviously none the worse for wear after our little excursion across the Tamar.
Yes, it
was a bl**dy long way, but no I wouldn’t be put off doing it again. It
was a great experience, one which would have been all the better for a little less of the wet stuff, but hey you cant have
it all ?
HORSE TRIAL CHAMPIONSHIP RESULTS
Our intermediate team of Kate McDougall on Rainbow Roc, Hannah Caudery on Cheston Cheyenne, Andrea Greenaway on Masked
Affair and Karen Franklin on Indelible Opposition were delighted to come away with a 4th team placing at the Riding Clubs
National Horse Trials Championships at Offchurch this weekend (8th -11th August)
The team competed in a 3 day event with the original long format with roads and tracks and steeplechase and nerve
racking vet trot ups on the first and last day.
We also had individual placings with Hannah coming 9th on Annie and Karen coming 4th with Indie. Both acheiving
very rare show jumping clears on the last day in very deep going.
Michelle Sanders also competed in the Novice Horse Trials on her promising young horse Ali who acquitted herself very
well in exceedingly trying conditions.
