Hello All,

We went to rally last week and after all the stress I think all the pony clubbers had a good time! I just wanted to say I was very proud of the job each member did in the barns and helping each other out. Since we had some composite teams I know it wasn't so easy working with other pony club members who didn't want to work.  I commend you all for a job well done!

To start the week we had Hannah Martin and Hope Farrar in the dressage rally. 

Hannah got a 54.35% on her TL1, 58.93% on her TL2 and 59.38% on her musical freestyle.  We like to see that progression!  She received a 7th place for her musical freestyle, a 6th for her team overall and an excellent 1st for horse management.  I would also like to point out that Hannah only got 1 question wrong on her written test, doing the best on her team.  Good Job!  Hope got a 60.5% on her Intro Test B.  Her team received a 4th for horse management and 2nd Overall.  Congrats to Hope in her first ever rally!

Next we had D1 rally where we had Julia Briggs and Morgan Thomas riding. 

Julia was in the 8-10yr old Div. A and placed 8th.  Morgan was in the 8-10yr old Div.C and placed 6th.  REALLY GREAT JOB!

Our D2s rode as well.  We had Libby Millsap and Sam Dorminey finishing 6th overall with their team.  Libby individually came in 13th overall.  Eli Ernst, Vasi Wilk and Katie Millsap's team came in 5th overall and 2nd in horse management!  Eli also came in 7th overall individually. This was his and his horse’s first horse trial!!! WOW.   Both Vasi and Eli only missed 1 question on their written test...great job guys. 

Our Cs were the last rally to go.  Emily Farrar, Megan Scott and Katie Dorminey brought home a 6th place for team overall.  They also got a 5th place for their horse management in the BN group.  Emily was 12th in her USEA division (those divisions were very challenging with 20 + people including professional riders, I happen to be riding in Emily's division) while Megan brought home a 7th. 

Megan Scott qualified for BN eventing championships.  We are waiting to here if she will make the team.  That will be 2 Pennyrile members going to Championships this year as Katie Dorminey will be attending for Quiz.

GREAT JOB EVERYONE!  Send me your pictures to put up on the website.
