The Exmoor Pony

We went to Gotherington Pony and Dog show and Gaoth had a good day with seconds in the working hunter pony, under 13.2hh  (2ft 6in) jumping and handy pony. However he went on to prove what a natural jumper he is by having his first go at 'puissance' clearing 3ft 6 inches!

Becks spent the day in a pen in 'Pets Corner' and loved the attention! He had a short break from the pen to make an appearence in the fancy dress class as 'Peter Pan'.

Good results at Three Counties. Roly Highland was in hand Highland Champion and Gaoth was a well deserved sixth in the Exmoor Ridden class against some top quality ponies.

Becks and Gaoth having some fun!

"Bart" (Beethoven) is in the middle

Dunkery Golden Eagle and Albert were 2nd and 3rd in the Exmoor yearling class. Clever boys!

Clever Gaoth and his rider Laura Chilton completed a brilliant clear round to win the Mountain and Moorland (122-138cm) Novice Working Hunter Class at NPS Area 29 qualifying for NPS Champs. They were also third in the Junior Working Hunter.

Clever Gaoth qualified for NPS Champs at the Highland Pony Enthusiasts Club show at Three Counties Showground

Happy Birthday Albert

We were very pleased with two well behaved boys. Roly Highland was 4th of 8 in the mixed age large breeds class. We were very pleased as all the other ponies were 2 or 3 year olds and Roly is not yet a year old. Albert was second to another lovely Exmoor yearling.

Baby Barts moment of glory winning a red rosette in the M&M small breeds youngstock. Clever Bartie

More jumping for Gaoth. A second and a sixth place. Also fourth in the Mountain and Moorland ridden and fifth in the Novice WHP.

Roly Highlands first show. Unplaced in huge mixed ages classes but a very well behaved baby boy. Very proud of him!

Laura jumped Gaoth and Becks and managed lots of clear rounds and some placings up to fence height of 2 foot. A great day out.

Gaoth and Laura went show jumping. They achieved 3 clear rounds at 1ft 6in, 1ft 9in and 2ft-2ft 3in earning themselves two 4ths and a 5th place.

Laura and Gaoth were 1st in both the Walk and Trot test and the Prelim Dressage. They were also first in Handy Pony and did very well in the Gymkhana games.

A dressage and gymkhana day! Gaoth and Laura won the Walk and Trot dressage test (first of six) and the handy pony. They followed this with wins in some of the gymkhana games. A successful and fun start to 2009.
