Festival Focus - Moreton Equestrian
The second to last weekend in August was a busy one finishing off the Petplan Equine Summer Area Festivals with a trip to Moreton Equestrian (20 – 21 August).
Petplan’s picks!
Hoping for a wildcard are Melanie Seward and Deinhart, who came third in the Prelim Silver with 67.08%, having been together for four years the pair have been to regular Area Festival shows. Having a personal blog to document her journey Melanie thanks all of her support team, “My trainer for your ongoing support and coaching, Sophie and Julie for always being there be it grooming or to put the kettle on (I’m sorry for the continued 5am’s) Mathew Morris for his fantastic ongoing care to Dougs feet, Jenny for her speedy work to keep Doug happy and comfortable. Finally Mum for letting me sit on a horse all those years ago!”
Brought as a show jumper, Deinhart quickly changed careers to dressage Melanie said, “he’s tough me so many valuable lessons, predominately in how to stay on but he is an absolute pleasure to have around the yard and is truly loved by so many. He’s one in a million.”
It will be Pippa Tucker and Rambo VIII’s first championships, winning the Medium Bronze on an impressive 72.37%, “can’t quite believe it! Off to the championships we go in October,” Pippa said on social media. They also came fifth in the Elementary Silver.
Dancing their way to the top of the podium were Sarah Harrison and Jagiello in the Elementary Freestyle Bronze, “I have to keep pinching myself, these things don’t happen to me! I need to keep checking I’m not dreaming,” Sarah took to social media to state her surprise. This is the pairs second year of competing in dressage and have regularly been on the podium. They will be heading to Arena UK in October for their first championships.
