Beech Hill Hunter Trials


Hollie and Munchkin did their first Hunter Trials today along with Alison and Cara. After walking the course yesterday, Hollie and Alison were highly excited this morning when we arrived at Beech Hill. Hollie and Munchkin set off very well clearing the first four jumps (at a sensible speed!). Then Munchkin ran out at jump number 5 and slipped on the wet grass and Hollie somersaulted over her head! They were 'technically disqualified' as Munchkin's shoulder touched the ground. Both were given the once over and were fine, though a little disappointed they couldn't continue. Alison and Cara had a more successful round, completing the course with some refusals which sadly also meant elimination. It's tough this horse-riding business! However, all four had a good time and it's all good experience(!)
