Hello Colleen,

 

In Freudenberg I did ok, but not great. I actually fell twice the first day because the ground wasn’t good and I had chosen the wrong studs for my horse (Chiaro di Luna). She didn’t feel comfortable for jumping and didn’t want to cover the big oxers… After realizing the mistake, I used a more appropriate one the next day, and managed to get a ranking (10^th) in the Grand Prix. Can’t complain after the nightmare of the previous day…

 

In the Nation Cup I rode well (0/4) and Switzerland took the fourth place. We’re not too strong as a team.

 

Since Freudenberg I won a Grand Prix in Crans Montana (Switzerland) with Luna and last Sunday I finished 2^nd and 3^rd in a P5 category (1.25m) with Mac Carwyn and another pony which I was given to train. I also ranked 7^th in a 1.35m horse category with my mum’s horse Feline.

 

Hope everything’s well in kangaroo’s land… I started the lobbying work on my parents in order to come to Australia but that’s going to be a long shot…

 

We’re leaving to Rome on Saturday in order to attend the pony European championship… 

 

Take good care and say hi from me to all the mates over there,

 

Deborah.
