Hi Im Vicki from Kent
Had ponies most of my life but gave up riding in my teens but now got ponies for my 8 year old daughter . We have 2 welsh As , a section b broodmare and a cheeky shetland mare who was meant to be for my daughter to do shetland grandnational but she hasnt grown enough .
We just got back into showing properly with one of the section As in lead rein classes and are really enjoying it .
Really pleased to have found this site as there is lots of usefull info on here as alot has changed sinced the last time we did showing properly and i dont really know what i am doing lol .

Hi I'm also new from E.sussex/Kent border and keep seeing your name come up at shows we've been to so we must be crossing paths without knowing it. Well done at Gt Chart, must have seen you there as there was only a select group of us! Good luck x

Hi Haggismarmite [love the name lol ;D ] what type of pony did you have at Great Chart ? Ours is a Bay sec A with four white and a blaze who was in the NPS lead rein . I dont ride these days as we only have little ponies but my 8 year old eats /sleeps/and breaths anything to do with horses and ponies . She also rode a lead rein show hunter pony for Ollie Birchall who is producing our pony for us this year .

not a very horsey name but it's a love/hate name thing! Lovely pony, Ollie is a fab producer my daughter idolises him and was really chuffed to come reserve to him in the Championship. We have the bay sect B FR 3 white socks and came reserve champ to you to Alice's amazement. Likewise I use to have show hacks and did alot of side-saddle and before that show pony and SHP but gave up years ago now it's just the girls'. Also have a little LR jockey but having to sell her pony so you won't see her much as I'm off to have my leg put in plaster tomorrow which is slightly ruining the rest of the season as we home produce! Good luck Area 20 if you're going- my hospital date means we'll have to miss it sadly x

I remember your daughters pony from the championship it went really well for her and is a very nice pony .
Yes we are off to Area 20 in the morning, been at Hickstead all afternoon and my daughter got 4th in the hoys Lead rein so over the moon .
Have to agree Ollie is fab he has taught my daughter so much and i think she idolises him as well
Sorry to hear about your Leg but im sure you will be back showing in no time .
