Old Home Week 2006

It was another exiting weekend! It was Old Home Week in Charlottetown. Roles were somewhat reversed this year. Ambre was the one doing the jumping and I was dressed in hunter clothing to do the flat classes!

It all started on Thursday with flat. Ambre was so nice to me let me ride her four year old Hanovarian mare Wanja. Wanja was very good and seemed to enjoy her time at the exhibition. I showed her in the flat classes and we placed in all three classes: two fourths and a fifth.

Ambre had the exiting job this weekend: jumping! And by jumping I mean: she entered in the level II jumpers! However, they also entered in the hunters and placed in most of her rounds! But she made me most proud when she placed third in her first jumper round! They also received a fifth in the jumper power & speed! Excellent riding and such a good effort from Trinny! But owh boy, was he ever tired after the weekend was finally over Saturday evening. I'm sure he's going to enjoy the break Ambre has in mind for him over the next few days!

Although Ambre came home with lots of ribbons, the only one who came home with a red one was Tia!!! Tia warmed Trinny up for Ambre by entering him in the lead line class and they won a beautiful trophy and red ribbon!

P.S missing in the picture is Ambre's other groom Mark and her husband and our cook Darren. They didn't miss a minute of the action at OHW; unfortunately, they're too shy to join us in our group picture.
