*~WILD WILD HORSES~*
After Fatty died, word spread quick that I was without a horse. I trained a young riding pony called Statesman (who had just been broken in) the tricks of the trade in Pony Club. He was later sold on.
The same lady I was training Statesman for then offered me another horse called Alkame. A day later Alkame was in our paddock and we began competing together.
Within a year I was back competing at the State Titles. No longer did I sport. I had to completly change my style of riding to compete at State level for Equitation (at Clarendon) and Eventing (at Cessnock).
The change proved to be worth while. At State Eventing i finished 3rd after the Dressage Phase, 1st after the Cross Country, and was unlucky to have a rail in the Show-Jumping which placed me 4th Overall. I was awarded the Cross Country Medal for clear and closest to optimum time.
At The State Titles for Eventing, held at Warren in 2001, Alkame and I placed 2nd after the dressage. Due to the rain that fell, the event was cancelled.
These pics are of me and Alkame over the last couple of years.We currently are B Grade Eventing Champions for 2002!
