😀JUST WOW😀 4 teams going to National Champs!😲
ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE results yesterday from the Area 6 national champs qualifying Horse and Pony care competition.
Every single member who competed has done themselves and our branch proud.
First up were our MINIS
Snowdrops and Tulips came 2nd and 3rd respectively and BOTH QUALIFIED for Champs🥳 🏆⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Next came the JUNIOR competition. Our 3 teams; the Primroses, Daffodils and Bluebells they WERE AWESOME, the Primroses and Bluebells also BOTH QUALIFIED🏆🥳 for Champs coming 1st and 2nd respectively and the Daffodils were not far behind on points coming in a very respectable 12th out of 21 teams ⭐️☺️
Then came the seniors BARLOW TULIPS who are all technically still juniors, decided to have a go at this level in preparation for next year when they all move up. They finished 12th with some fantastic scores on many of the rounds with just a few knowledge gaps taking them out of qualification, watch this space next year!!
All of these girls have worked thier socks (Mums and support crew too!)
And I'm so proud of them all ❤️
Special shout out to super woman DC Liz who has schlepped up and down the stairs at Derby college collecting scores all day long 🥵 she arrived first, left last, brought chocolate for everyone and definitely got her steps in today. Thank you ⭐️
