1st place for Sophie & LH Adelia

Team Joyce would like to say a huge Congratulations to Sophie Elphick riding a Lals Haven horse called LH Adelia. Sophie has been working very hard for many months trying to juggle a very busy work schedule and lessons with Wesley to experience a little bit of good fortune. The pair have been out and about to only a few competitions and as we all know a young horse is hard continuous work but can be very rewarding in the long run. Sophie is a very determined well established rider and wants to compete E.A showjumping next season on LH Adelia but needs to start at the bottom and work her way up gradually.

Written by Sophie: 

The class that we won was the Open C grade Speed class at the Macclesfield Pony Club show jumping championships. There were only 4 in the class but if we include the Pony Club C grade in as well we were second by 0.6sec.
I was so pleased with how she went. Thank you both for all your help and encouragement! Having a round like that one makes all the hard work worth it. Hopefully there will be more like that to come!

 

We get a huge buzz out of hearing the latest news from our sold Lals Haven horses and look forward to reading more stories in the near future from them all!
