~SENIOR RIDER JOURNEY~ Hannah Junor Hannah started riding when she was 4 years old and from her first years with Angel, Misty and Charlie she has grown to love horses more and more! Hannah has learnt that to stay calm in bad situations on a horse as they need to know that it is you and them against the world! Hannah s greatest achievement would be winning the West Gippsland Skye Park Dressage Series grade 3. Hannah loves to come the Pony Club as she loves to talk to crazy people who share your crazy passion in horses and being able to practice her riding with great facilities and equipment. In 10 years time Hannah hopes to be competing Medium to Advanced dressage with a couple of horses in the lower grades. Advice Hannah would give to younger riders is to not get to frustrated at your horse when trying new things and they have no idea what you are trying to make them do or what their body is doing. Hannah s funniest memory would be when she was 7 Years old riding her pony Charlie, they were on a 40km ride and has stopped at Dargo Hotel, when riding down to the creek to give the horses a drink Charlie decided to roll in the water with me and the saddle on top, getting soaked! When holding him on the side, he rolled again in the sand still with the saddle on! It is funny now but wasn t when it happened! WE WISH HANNAH ALL THE BEST WITH THE YEARS TO COME.
