It all began last summer, Trailblazers Championships 2018. I had only been jumping Mr Pickles off the lead rein for a few months. I was 8 years old and Mr Pickles was my 11 hand pony that I had owned since I was 4 years old. He was my lead rein pony and my first jumping pony. The finals came and I was eliminated in both rounds of the 65cm 12 and under championship. But I had the most amazing time, made brilliant friends, and loved the experience. I made mummy promise that we could come back next year and I told myself I would win a rosette.

 

At the end of the summer 2018 we had Sali Mali. She is a 12.2 dark bay mare. She was much faster than Mr Pickles and jumped much higher. When I first had her I fell off alot, I sang nursery rhymes when we cantered and had to jump fences in trot. Over the winter we worked hard and we started to get better. I qualified Mr Pickles for the Trailblazers 65cm second round and Sali Mali for the 65cm and 75cm second round.
