Today is the last day of show jumping rally. One of my teammates fell off during her round. Her horse chipped in an extra stride and deer-hopped over the fence. She landed on the back rail of the oxer and Devyn fell off. I think that it is unfair that a fall counts for 38 points off. Emma's and Kendell's round was good. They both had one rail.
While I was watching their rounds, I saw one of the girls from my PonyClub (FoxChase). She was not in the Rally, but she was here to help her mom who was showing in the Hunter/Jumper show. She was not allowed in the Rally barn area to help us with the horses because that would be considered unauthorized assistance.
We came back and put away our horses. I went to get the hay and grain for the horses. I wasn't sure if I could carry all the hay from the trailer/feed room to the barn. Claire from Portola Valley offered to help (isn't that nice!) with her wagon. Here she is.
All the girls from Pacific Ridge had clean rounds. Their team got first place overall. Their overall score was negative. Thats because they got bonus/"good" points for their jump-offs. It is all confusing with the scoring system. Devyn explained positive point system. I think that would be a great idea. I hope they start that system soon. Here is the team with their moms & ribbons.
Our team got fifth place. Emma and Kendell got special award for helping other teams get ready.
I made a bouquet of flowers with DuctTape for my mom on Mother's Day. My mom thinks that is so PonyClub-like...
Someone else did the same in the rally. I hope her mom liked it...
