Congratulations to them all.

Congratulations to Faye Kidd (Form LVI) and Abbie Brown (Form IV) who represented Ulster U17 over the May Bank Holiday weekend.  Faye Kidd had the honour of captaining the team, who were invited to play a 3 match series against England U17s at Lilleshall.

The first match was a 0-0 draw, then Ulster went on to record two historic victories with scores of 2-1 and 2-0 to secure the series win – the first time Ulster have ever beaten England at this level.

In March James (Form IV) represented B.R.A. in the British Schools’ Judo Competition in Sheffield and secured the Bronze medal.  Then in April he won the Gold medal at the Northern Ireland Open at Queen’s University.

Not to be outdone by her older brother, Kiah (Form III) has so far this year become an All-Ireland champion, earned a Bronze medal in Scotland at an international competition and won a Silver medal at the Northern Ireland Open at the end of April – missing out on Gold to the current European champion.  Her consistently high performances have secured her place on the Northern Ireland squad as an ‘elite player’.

Seymour, Audrey and the residents of Skid Row during Monday's matinee rehearsal

On Wednesday 17th April, I flew into Charles De Gaulle Airport, Paris.  From there it was a two hour taxi drive to the Fontainebleau.  On arriving at the show we went and found our horse lorry, which my mum had driven over on the Monday.  I threw my bag into the lorry and went for a walk with my friend Rachel to explore the show.  I have never seen to a show like it in my life; I was amazed at how perfect everything was.  It was such a big place we ended up returning for bikes and cycling around.

The main grass arena was looked after by the golf course keepers based next door, so the ground was perfect to jump on.  In the main arena (which I was jumping in) there were massive open water jumps all around it.  I couldn’t wait to get started.

I got underway on the Friday and my first class was the CSIP 1.25m.  Unfortunately I had one fence down, but I was not annoyed at all by hitting this fence and was very happy with my performance.  It was the first day in the ring for me and my pony, Thorn, and he jumped superbly well.  On Saturday I was entered in another 1.25m and again Thorn jumped amazingly well, but just one unlucky tap on a fence brought it down.  On the third and final day of jumping it was the CSIP 1.30/1.35m Grand Prix.  It was a big test for my pony, Thorn, and me as we are only a new partnership, but with the help of my trainer, Stephan Cox, I was ready to go.  We ended with 12 faults, but I came away happy as this was such a huge challenge.  Out of 75 ponies entered in the class, I finished 24th (there were only two double clears) and 4th out of the Irish competitors.

Jumping at Fontainebleau was such an amazing experience and I hope to qualify again next year.
