State Inter-school Championships

Here are some pics of My son Nick at the South Australian Inter-School State Championships. His Dun pony , Rocket, was 2nd in the primary school Challenge. The Challenge is a three part comp, a ridden work-out, a showjump course (judged on equitation) and an In-hand work-out. Nick was 1st on his pally mare Lanyon Sugar rush. Now we wait til the 25th of may to find out if he has State selection for the Nationals.

It sure looks like he is close to being ready for the following hand over the jump (automatic release, I hate that term, there is nothing automatic about it at first). He must have a good teacher!!!

Comment by Geoffrey Pannell on May 2, 2012 at 11:44pm: Yes Jackie, we are proud of him. But , you know, we are proud of the way he goes about his riding and the way he loves his ponies, it's less important the results he gets. For a 10 yo he just gets the whole thing, if you know what I mean.
