Welsh TREC Championships

Christina and Chamfron Tizona - level 2a pairs winners.

Sunflower Sundays

So this week...

Chamfron Agata de Fuego has been on holiday in the Scottish Borders, covering some miles including visiting the Three Brethren.  They then finished their holiday with the pleasure ride at the Scottish Endurance Championships, where she finished with a lover heart rate than she started.  Chamfron Almendra gained 66 and 67% dressaging at Cherwell this week. This lovely little mare is only three months out of polo.  Shall we also just take a moment to say "he stamps his stock"!!!  Then on Saturday I popped back into the endurance championships to see Jessica and Chamfron Colorado competing in his first 50km and gaining his Bronze Thistle Final with a gold award.

Pinging Prickle!

More outings

Chamfron Paloma was at the WES National show over the weekend, she was 1st in Novice Rider Pleasure, 3rd in Novice Horse Pleasure, 6th in intermediate horse trail, 4th in Walk Jog Trail and 1st in Novice Rider Ranch Horse.  She also likes a wee jump!  Chamfron Cactus Jack is well and happy though his teeny girlfriend Sheep (who is a pony) has left to have foals and been replaced by a more compatible grazing companion.  Chamfron Ojo de Tigre was at the Scottish TREC Championships, his first full length TREC competition.  It's lovely that everyone is getting out and about this year, with competition results from several horses most weekends and they are doing a bit of everything, eventing, dressage, endurance, polo, western, TREC... which was after all, the plan.

Pootling, Party and 'Pacas

A wander around the Borders General on Friday night where we spotted their memorial painted stone project and a lovely statue of spring lambs.  Then a trip to Sonya's for "Party in the field" and a second trip to the lovely Velvet Hall Alpacas.   

Meet Up!

Chamfron Colorado managed to stand on one of his back boots snapping a strap early on today but Jessica grabbed a spare at the first crewing point, however they were now running way behind on time and he was uptight about waiting. Thankfully they managed to make up time and get round the 30km for SC3 Gold, heart rate was 29 on starting and 38/38 at the finish.  There was also an impromptu Chamfron meet up - Chamfron Colarado meeting Chamfron Agata de Fuego who was doing the pleasure ride today.
