Tack Farm Scurry

The final scurry of the season took place in Tack Farm Equestrian Centre Hereford

The Ystrad Team were pipped at the post by the Quicksilvers a local team from Herefordshire.

 




Herefordshire Country Fair

The team did well again in Herefordshire Country Fair getting second place. They were just pipped at the post by the home team Ledbury, but at least Shaun didn't demolise the course this time.


Congratulations !!!!!

Well done to the team who came reserve champions in 2007 Royal Welsh Show. Despite the terrible conditions the team got into the final for the first time. The team consisted of Toria riding Alice, Tina riding Sammy Jo, Shaun riding Big Bird and Andrew riding Big Billy. Shaun and Big Bird tool a tumble on the first day destroying the wall and then destriyed the gate in the final. We think he is taking over from the Carmarthen teams Byron aka Byron the destroyer. Toria managed to stay on this year and narrowly avoided another collission.

The team attended the Royal Welsh Show in Builth Wells. Unfortunately things didn't go according to plan, Victoria & Alice had built up a good lead but had a collision with the horse and rider from the Flint & Denbigh team. Horses and riders were both ok but Alice needed some attention from the vet. Lets hope things get better as the season progresses.
