HIGHLIGHTS
Here are highlight results of the Central Ontario Region Regional A/B/C Rally, held at Lane's End Farm near Bobcaygeon on Saturday, July 7, presented from the most to least difficult levels. Details follow the highlights.
"Rally" is the Pony Club term for Eventing, an Olympic discipline in which competitors must ride a formal Dressage test, follow with a Cross Country or endurance phase across open country and over fixed obstacles, and finish with a Stadium Jumping competition. Scoring is done on a penalty points basis, with all errors of course, refusals, rails down and falls counted as penalties. Penalties are also incurred for taking too much time, or too little, to finish the Cross Country phase. The rider with the fewest penalties wins.
At the Preliminary level, Ashley Minion of the Kawartha Pony Club took first riding Taylor Made, with Jennifer McGuire of the Uxbridge-Scugog Pony Club second on Prestigious (only entries).
Amelia Jones and her horse Resolution, of the Victoria Pony Club, placed first at the Training level, with second place going to Michael Durward of Uxbridge-Scugog second aboard Gerrie Maguyre (all other entries eliminated at either cross-country or stadium jumping phase).
At the Pre-Training level, Christine Pett of Victoria took the honours riding Flaming Arrow, with second place going to Brittany Emery of the Toronto & North York Pony Club on Jump for Joy, and Kitty Baker, also of Toronto & North York, third aboard Irish Willie.
Allison Birdsall and Solo Spirit, of Uxbridge-Scugog, won the Entry level, with Katie Murray of the Durham Pony Club second on Full Monty and Lara Harmon of the Muskoka Lakes Pony Club third on Gahrahj Shandy.
