​Wanaka A & P Show - written by Head Girl Lucy Swain and Laura Perkins
The Wanaka A&P Show was held on the 8th and 9th of March and Head Girl Lucy Swain and Laura Perkins were both fortunate to be competing. On the Friday Laura and her horse ‘Calvary Man’ placed 2nd and 3rd in the 1.00m Show Jumping. Also she competed in one of the main events, which was the Upper Clutha Pony Championship Round the Ring. This is where they jump one round and then 10 riders qualify for the next day to compete for the Championship title. Laura received 3rd and 2nd for Rider Over Jumps. Lucy was competing on ‘Stone River Titan’ and competed in the Upper Clutha Hack Leaping Competition. This was a class with over 50 competitors and only the top 10 qualify for the next day. Lucy won first place in the qualifying round and also won best rider over jumps. On Saturday Laura placed 5th in the Pony Championship round the ring and Lucy won the Hack Leaping Championship title. To finish the show Laura competed in the 1.05m gambler stakes and placed 4th. Well done girls!
 

Two weeks ago I travelled to the Waikato for the very first Tetrathlon in New Zealand and it was a great event to go to, and I would recommend it to others. I considered the ride on a borrowed horse very easy as I had experience riding that certain breed of horse. The run was a very easy 1.5km across paddocks and down a road; the shooting was fun, but very different as we shot laser targets and not actual guns, but our swim was a very simple 200m swim.
Our teams finished 4th and 6th, and as an individual I finished 6th out of 18. I am now looking forward to the next Tetrathlon which is being held in Dunedin in December, and am looking for anybody that wants to know more or compete in a team.
