Festival Focus - Port Royal Equestrian 21
The last festival in July was held at Port Royal Equestrian (29 July – 01 August) which proved popular with Prelim, Novice and Elementary riders, all ready to get their chance to qualify for the Petplan Equine Area Summer Championship in October. They had their dancing shoes on to perform some foot perfect test for the judge’s approval.
Petplan’s picks!
It was an amazing weekend for Emma Bond, qualifying for four classes with Dragos Felix; Prix St George (65.96% ) and Freestyle (66.96%) Silver as well as the Inter 1 (64.30%) and Freestyle (66.17%) Silver. The pair have been together for five years, and are no strangers to the Championships having previously competed in various high-profile shows. Emma took to social media to express her pride, “he tried so hard for me despite the gale force winds and there is still so much more to come.” As the classes were split over two days they came back with their dancing shoes, “I was super proud of him as he was a little tired from yesterday, but he gave everything today.”
