Winning Trip to Scotland

TEAM Hollings had a very successful foray up to Scotland last weekend with the journey proving very fruitful for the Supreme Products sponsored team.

“We took both of Michaela Wood’s Native Pony coloureds, Login Lucky Lad and The Pied Piper, Michaela rode Lucky and I rode Pied Piper,” said Penny Hollings.

“They were having their first trip out with the new Supreme Products High Shine Serum on their manes and Pied Piper took the Championship and RIHS ticket while Lucky finished a good third.

“Alexandra Hollings then rode June Horsfall’s PBA Ninfield Fable to win the small section and take the RIHS ticket before collecting the championship.

“Alice Greenwood was having her first show out on Lorna Fitzgerald’s new acquisition, the 153cm SHP Midtown Magic and after heading a good sized mixed height SHP class, went on to take the overall pony championship!

A fabulous team for the season

Last season was a fantastic year for the Supreme Products sponsored Emmersons Show Team which ended on the best note ever winning the HOYS Supreme Pony of the Year Award.

“After HOYS it was a couple of days rest and then straight into breaking the new ponies for 2011 and focussing our attention on some of the 16 riders we have on the team this year,” says Sarah Emmerson.

“Eleven of them have new ponies and some  are making the hard transition from lead rein to first ridden classes

“Already we have had some ponies out at the winter shows and will continue to do so for the next few weeks after which we will be campaigning the RIHS classes and then aiming to qualify for HOYS.

“Alongside these shows we will also be competing at the smaller more local events, as we feel as a team it is important to attend them and to furthermore educate the ponies and children we have on the yard ready for next year.

“Sadly we have sold the HOYS Supreme Pony, Charn Secret Legend as Abbie was finished with him after two fabulous seasons with. We wish him well in his new home and will no doubt be seeing him out and about.”

In February the yard was approved for the BHS/BSPS ACCREDITED YARD award and Sarah for the ACCREDITED TRAINER AWARD.

The team are in the process of having a new website being developed, so look out for www.emmersonsshowteam.co.uk in the next few weeks.

Kicking the Season off in Style!

Supreme Products sponsored show rider and producer Sarah Challinor had a very successful season last year, scoring a HOYS and Olympia double with Pumphill Buckthorn.

Starting this season with some new faces at South View, Sarah kicked off with a win on Coulnacraig Jacobite in his ridden debut. The four-year-old stallion also took the Heritage Novice title.

Said Sarah: “We are delighted with him, it was his first outing and we have only done the basics at home. He really covers the ground and it was the first time he had worked in company, we can’t wait to start showing him outdoors.

“He has joined us from breeder Robin Stewart and Ailsa Vines, we backed him over Christmas and are doing the early work with him. He is really showing star quality with his light and balanced movement and we hope he will continue his debut successes.”

  

Celebrations All Round!

Supreme Products dressage rider Hannah Esberger-Shepherd hit top form at the Winter Dressage Regional Finals with her team of horses.

Says Hannah: “We went to the Winter Regional’s at Willerby Hill and had a very good outing.  Laura and Whispers came fifth in the Novice Open and Elementary Restricted but topped that by going onto win the Novice Open to music which was brilliant.

“Tuesday was a special day, as it was Molly's fourth birthday and Welkom won the Elementary Open Championship. I was very pleased with Welkom’s attitude and how much he has 'grown up' since last season.

“We had cake, candles and singing, a proper little party afterwards which was so much fun.

“Wednesday was a little more hectic with four rides. Belluga was first to go in the Medium, he did a really good test and again I was pleased with his attitude. 

“Vanita was second to last to go in the same class, and I must say when he had finished I thought he had won it, one judge thought the same but another had me at 22 points different. This put him in fourth, and Belluga finished slightly ahead in third place. I was still delighted with them both.
