Nicola Blandin and Oldmere Jester  won  the Open Pony class at the first Wessex indoor event of the season.

The babies went for a run with Minta and Kat Aburrow sharing the drive with Parc Cadno going HC and Minta driving  Parrock Thatchers Sweet William, half brother to 'The Boys' coming 4th in his first driven competition in the Novice Pony class.

Minta with Wendy Wybrews grey boys have had a successful first trials season and have ended on a high by being included on the short list for the Pairs Class competing at the World Pony Championships in Denmark in July 2007.

Minta Says " Obviously Julie Hoskyns and Rachel Stevens will be on the team and if they send an individual there are several established competitors who are in contention - but to be even considered is a great honour and a great achievement for 'the boys' and the team"

Wendy Wybrew's Tilston Cardinal driven by Minta Winn was Meet of the Champions Supreme Champion at the National Carriage Driving Championships at Windsor.

Mutli tasking Minta was also 6th with the Pair in the HDT National Championships which is a great finish to the boys first season in trials. She also trained the National Pony Tandem Champion Allan Clarke.

At Drivers Dream pupil Kat Aburrow with Cappela was Junior Whip winner and the Style and Performance Non Traditional Champion. 

Also at Keysoe, Elaine Thompson and Will Leslie with Cortaflex Benny were Reserve Champions in the BDS Trec Championships

What a great finish to the season outside, Here we come HOYS!!
