Hannah Esberger-Shepherd

Competition Success for Hannah and her "Girls and Boys"

I am feeling pretty pleased with my girls and boy!  Divine won at Field House on Thursday.  She did two mediums and won both with 72.06% and 68.91% - meaning she has qualified for the summer regionals.  On Sunday at Aldham Mill, Vanita won both his novices with 68% and 69%, and also qualified for the summer regionals.  Dolce Vita then won her elementary classes with 68% and 69% and qualified for the summer regionals - a hat trick for the Esberger-Shepherd team!  We are out again on Thursday 24th January with Vanita to do elementaries and Dolce Vita to do the novices.  Crossed fingers we can keep the lucky streak going!

News on the yard is that a replacement for Crosby has arrived.  He is a black Shetland aged 10 called Douglas.  He is adorable but he can run and seems to have a very good line in escapology.  He gave us all a very interesting morning in the pouring rain as he investigated all the fields and the small arena and then escaped from his stable.  I am hoping he doesn't do lectures on his specialist subject....!
