Vaulting Clinic with Lyn Lynch
As predicted, all vaulters had heaps of fun and were keen for more. Lyn very kindly brought Sam with her for the morning session while our legend, Bucc, proved what an amazing horse he is and tested out our new surcingle in the afternoon.

Northside Show Jumping
Yet another fantastic day at Northside. Congrats to Abbey & Pops who placed 4th in the 50cm on their first outing together. Soo & Lena placed 2nd (& won a bag of food much to foodie Lena's delight!!!) in the 65cm. Daniel & Dobbs rode in the 65cm and Abbey took Lena for a second round at 65cm. Jess & PJ and Katie & Tom all went around the 85cm for the first time. Meals & Freckles successfully navigated the 80cm, Soo & Dom schooled the 1.05m and 1.15m.

Camden Show - Show Jumping
Soo & Dom competed in the 1.05 power & speed class where unfortunately a crocodile of school kids took Dom's brain from him just before entering the ring!! Meals & Freckles, Lena & George all came for the outing and all behaved impeccably. Thanks to Meals for her assistance on the day and, as always, for her video footage. See our Gallery/Video page for Dom in action.

Northside Combined Training
Exciting result for Gemma & Scandal on their very first combined training outing. 4th in Newcomers with 72% in the dressage. Great work too from Meals & Freckles in Intro, first time jumping at that height. See our 'Gallery' page for video footage of both combinations dressage and jumping.
Sydney Show Jumping Club (SSJC)
Soo & Daniel spent the morning at a lovely and relaxed SSJC training day. Daniel enjoyed his first outing with Dobbs, jumping rounds of 60cm & 70cm. Soo schooled Lena around 60cm, Mozart 70cm and Dom 1.10m.

Oakville Open Show Jumping
Meals & Soo had a great day out with Freckles, Mozart & Dom. Oakville had a lovely atmosphere and the organisation was great. Congrats to Meals and Freckles for two great 70cm rounds. Mozart showed how brave he is in two 80cm rounds with nothing phasing him. A new venue proved too much for Dom initially who started at 1.10m and began to settle in his second 1.20m round jumping clear. For videos see our Gallery page.

Northside Show Jumping
A hot but very successful day with more 'firsts' from the Ardis team. Gemma & Scandal were great going around the 65cm class as their first jump outing. Lena looked after Abbey around the 65cm. Katie & Tom and Jess & PJ both successfully navigated the 80cm class, with Katie/Tom placing 4th. Soo took Dobbs around the 65cm. Meals and Freckles must have gone well in the 65cm from the shouts of joy that were heard at the end of their rounds! Andy Moss rode Galen in the 75cm & 85cm classes. Mozart showed lovely improvement from last month going clear in the 75cm and placing 6th in his first 85cm class. Dom finished 4th in the official 1.05m and enjoyed (rather too much!) playing with the 1.15m setup. Well done to all riders.
