Both Anthony and Toro have been doing very well in competition recently. Anthony went to Crofton Manor in February, won both Advanced Mediums on good scores, so his qualification to the Summer Regionals is secure. He has done a second PSG, gaining just under 64%, so as it was a qualifier, he now has 2 qualifying points! Toro has also qualified for the Summer regionals at Advanced Medium, we had a rather hairy time at Sparsholt when he was spooked by some ponies, it is the nearest I have felt to coming off for a long time! In PSG he is also consistent and now has 4 qualifying points, only 2 more to go! Both went to Kingston Maurward to try their freestyles at Advanced Medium and PSG. Each beat the other, Toro was ahead in the Advanced Medium and Anthony just beat him in the PSG, so each has qualified at those levels. So next time they go out to do music, it will only be one test each - phew! remembering four individual freestyles and not getting the music mixed up was a tall order! I am delighted with them both, after such a long layoff last year, they have both come out and done well every outing. Just as well with the price of diesel. Also, congratulations on competition success to Jade Rose, Hannah Shepherd, Lucy Wareham, Millie Tonks, Laura Sage and anyone else I have left out!
