BLOG: Wishes come true | ||
Trish and LH Lily Puss after their success in the TTT Dressage.
By Trish Joyce Team Joyce went separate ways for out latest outing. Wes and Tiffany drove to Dandenong Agricultural Show with Oaks Volta and LH Johnny for some showjumping, while Sarah and I went to the HRCAV TTT Dressage competition (11-13th of November) held at Gladysdale with LH Albert and LH Lily Puss. Will our wishes come true? Well, as it turns out it could not have gotten any better... There are many things to tell but I will try to be brief and to the point. This weekend’s results proved to be one Team Joyce will re visit for many years to come when having those family get togethers reminiscing back in the day. We do that a lot; bring out old photos and videos to recap 'back when'. Team Joyce getting ready to leave Saturday morning at 5am.

I was so fortunate to catch up with my Auntie Julie who worked in the office for the duration of the show. This was so nice because we do not see each other very often as I live so far away but we both love horses and she rides to but for this weekend she was volunteering. To enter the Bingo card competition you had to walk to all the stalls and ask for the card to be stamped to try win the Polymaster horse hay hard feeder. On the way over we asked eachother will our wishes come true? Could we win that feeder?

Lily so tired with her eyes shut while eating her hay.
The final results were posted about 6.30pm and to our amazement LH Lily Puss had placed 3rd and 1st to take out the TTT HRCAV Level 4 Jackpot. Speechless, I could not say a word. Sarah just hugged me and we said wow – just wow! Then results from the Level 1 appeared a bit later and Sarah and Albert placed 2nd and 4th to place 3rd overall in the TTT HRCAV Level 1 which was a massive feat to say the least. Again we danced and hugged each other. Presentations were made and then we loaded the Lals Haven winners and drove out at 7.30pm arriving home at 11pm - after stopping at Macca’s for a wrap of course. It was my lucky day - we all have them and they make us feel so grand. Even today - weeks later - I still smile and think back…..Lil and I are doing lots of trail riding, a little bit of very small showjumping and cannot wait for our next dressage outing! Happy riding to you all! Trish
