My daughter and I have become involved in the Arab world through an AMAZING group of co-incidences. Robyn has competed against adults for many years now due to the fact that British Dressage do not split classes at their open shows into age groups. We have never thought about this as everybody is so friendly and don't treat her any differently. I have been meaning to set up an address on here for ages and never 'got round to it'. I have been prompted to do so now due to our experiences at HOCON on Sunday. Thank you so much to all those people who took the trouble to come and chat to Robyn after her class on Gwid. She had a fantastic time at her first 'C' Show (especially evident in the smile during the gallop, I don't know if Gwid was smiling more though!). Also a huge thank you to Jean and Dave Peck for all the support and enjoyment they are giving to Robyn. It is great also to take Gwid to BD comps and as others have posted 'show that arabs can also shine there'.
Looking forward to seeing all our new friends soon.
PS as Robyn is under 18 we will share this address until she can have her own.

| Is this the same Robyn who recently competed at Somerford Park Premier League in the FEI Pony Tests? |

| Thank you so much Silvern Scepris that is very kind, she loves him to bits. Robyn did not compete at the Somerford Park Premier League this year as she was competing Gwid at the Suffolk Show and the dates clashed, was worth it though as they were Reserve Champion! Robyn has produced a novice dressage pony to FEI standard and has been competing FEI over the last few years. Her highlight was to have been shortlisted for 4 Internationals but the pony is not quite ready. She is planning on Somerford next year with Gwid in the Junior / Advanced Medium section. |

 OOOHH Welcome you two!!Wondered if you'd join in the Arabian Lines ''family'' eventually, and meet everyone!! All I want to say is Dave and I are very proud to have such a lovely young lady riding Gwiddy now, you do a FAB job!! At Suffolk County, they were Res. to Azal and Fiona, who was very kind and helpful to Robyn and gave her plenty of encouragement!! She CAN gallop the old boy too! |

Hi
Robyn should be really pleased as he went beautifully for her. I was completely stunned that she got placed fifth though as he didn't put a foot wrong!!!!!! |
