Dinky deva won 128/138 BSJA special handicap championship. This was aim for the year for her and great to pull it off, thought we were done for when Amy Inglis went way into lead on her 128 and looked to have left nothing with a crazy tight turn back to the stile, which the pony gamely pulled off. Dinky was not to be denighed and turned back round the wing of the fence she is jumping in the picture and took the double on an angle which is always a risky move but at speed her stride is so long that it worked out perfectly.

Novice pony Bonds Glen got to the 3rd round of blue chip shapphire championship and we were disappointed to only place 14th after a buck upset his rhythm to the first fence in final jump off. But at POYS we had learned from the experience and qualified for GPrix with 3rd the first day out of 127 starters. 51 started the GP with 25 progressing to round 2. fences well raised for a further 11 efforts after 15 in round one reduce field to only 8. Second one in was clear and fast, but Bob was magic and took strides out to second fence and again to double were he was miles off but tucked himself up to pop up and keep galloping to come home 4 seconds up. Challanges came and went one was especially close was up on the clock but stopped at same double. Bonds Glen is Novice Pony of the Year!

Following weekend at Ballywater wind farm finals at rowallan, Dinky and Dude had good 3rds and Hill House united colours won 148 speed class and had a single fence down in her first 148 grandprix, there were only 6 clears all of which got placed! so all in all 3good weeks.
