Maties Equestrian Hosts First Show of the Year

The Maties Equestrian Club (MEC) recently

organised its first show of 2013 with much

success. Over 40 entries in five dressage

classes and five show jumping classes

provided a day of excitement and quality

riding. Maties Equestrian was well

represented on home turf both in terms of

riders and Maties-owned horses.

The upper-level dressage tests (PN

Preliminary 2 and PN Preliminary 4), ridden

in the morning, were dominated by Equidae

Stable’s Kathleen van der Linde and her

horse, Robin. Maties rider Lauren Boyd and

Magic Bean came in a close second in PN

Preliminary 2, and Maties rider Ursina Rusch on La Falda achieved a second place in PN Preliminary 4. Many riders

used the opportunity of the small, quiet show setting to gain their first experiences in the show world or to introduce

their young horse prospects to the show atmosphere. This made for some exciting viewing for the spectators with the

occasional leaps, bucks and even a jump over the arena fencing by a number of horses, disproving the age old adage

that dressage is a boring discipline!

The show jumping classes commenced in the afternoon and were well attended. With jumping heights ranging from

pole-on-the-ground to 80cm, an action packed afternoon was guaranteed. In the 60cm class the versatile Maties

rider/horse team of Lauren Boyd and Magic Bean were edge

the Equestrian Sports Centre. The 70cm and 80cm height classes were dominated by MEC riders with MEC Stable

Manager Julie Lustgarden and her only five

80cm class was a battle between MEC riders Cheree Canny on Ballesteros and the eventual winner Danielle Cronje

on her gelding Hiawatha.

All in all the show provided a day of fun and learning experiences for all horse and rider teams involved. Maties
