Natasha and Shine show off their awards.

Our family team of novice riders attended the Cromwell EGB Regional awards dinner with only the expectation of good food and conversation with our fellow endurance enthusiasts.

We were therefore both delighted and suprised at the following results….

Natasha Parsler – Junior Rider Champion

Shine – Reserve Native Pony Champion and Reserve Novice Champion

Talisman – Novice Hi-point Champion

As you can see from the picture the rosettes are the size of small dinner plates!  This was a really pleasing ending to what was a generally good inaugural year for “team Parsler”.  We are all keenly anticipating the return of better weather so we can begin training for the 2009 season.
