Our Teams

Area 7 Winter Team Dressage Qualifier 1st Feb 2009 On Sunday 1^st Feb, we took 3 teams to the Area 7 Winter Team Dressage Qualifier at Bury Farm EC and if I were to say it was a rather chilly day it would be an understatement! I was first to arrive at 8am and the wind was whipping around the lorry park and the warm-up arena and there was snow in the air. I was praying that the heavy snow would hold off until after the event so that all of our team members would be able to compete and get home safely. The teams were as follows:
Holly Hill Eagles Mandi Walters – Pallas Vicky Westcott – Ad Lib Sue Harrington – Chezzie’s Rights	Holly Hill Falcons Terry Cole – Muschamp Gymnast Rikke Asbjorn – JR’s Wonderboy Jaquie Field – Rocky Horror	Holly Hill Kestrels Linda Ginty – Lotus Helen Hawkins – Willow Ella Claire Galler – Joe’s Joy

Claire Galler – Joe’s Joy	Mandi Walters - Pallas	Rikke Asbjorn – JR’s Wonderboy
We had a slight hiccup which meant that all of our teams had to compete with only three riders and this meant that every score counted. This did not phase us or dampen our spirits. The weather conditions meant that the arenas were incredibly spooky and everyone was finding the going tough! Competition was hot and our teams all did very well. The results were as follows:
