Tintern had a very successful week down at the Victorian State Championships with Ella Trevorrow (Year 10) winning the Secondary 75cm Show Jumping Championships on her horse Bilbo Baggins and Keeley Thomas (Year 8) winning the Pas de deux (team freestyle dressage) with a friend from Edinburgh College, performing to the music from Grease. Keeley also took out Reserve Champion (second) in the Secondary Show Hunter section, riding her pony, Rose. Other notable mentions include Lilly Trevorrow 5th in the Secondary 95cm Combined Training and Bridie Wescombe 4th in the Secondary Intermediate Preliminary 1.3. Ruby Smiley, Odette McCallum and Darcee McCallum were also out competing in Tintern’s team colours.

Tintern Equestrian Team Prepare for the Horse Trials
Over the Easter Break, the Tintern Equestrian Team have been privileged enough to have not one but three clinics to assist with our riding and bring us together as a team! It all started down at the Werribee Equestrian Park where myself, Amelia, Ella, Lilly, Ruby, Angel, Bridie and some others from outside of Tintern, took part in a Cross Country and Dressage clinic with Will Enzinger. Everyone had an amazing time and we all learnt so much. The following day, the Interschool Championship began at Werribee. Everyone from Tintern who competed tried their hardest and we walked away with some incredible results!! (See Darcee’s report above)
The same week, the team grew and we attended a cross country and showjumping clinic at Wandin Park with Will Enzinger once more. It was another amazing day and it was awesome to meet some newer team members and strengthen our friendships in the team!
During the last week of the holidays we had our final clinic, a dressage clinic at Seville Pony Club with coach, Danielle Pooles, who worked with us all, focussing on our strengths and weaknesses until we all walked away more confident that we walked in! It was a very calm and informative lesson for every group of riders that took part.
Now that everyone is prepped, confident, and part of an amazing team, bring on the Tintern Grammar Horse Trials this weekend!!!
