SPARSHOLT UNAFFILIATED DRESSAGE
7th june 2015
Phillipa (Pip) Jones with her pony Ernest 'Biff' were once again at Sparsholt to take part in two Dressage tests.
The first was the Prelim 17 Championship class and the second was the Wadswick Countrystore Qualifier. At the time of entering, Pip was not sure exactly what the second was all about, other than the 'qualifier' part of the title meant Badminton! Ernest 'Biff' is not your traditional tall 'bouncy' dressage pony being of a more 'sturdy' build. However, 'nothing ventured nothing gained'!
Both tests are presented here in their entirety in both still photograph and video form.
Also featured is Sarah Grocut and 'Sheriff'
