An Eventful Weekend for Jessica Smith-Clarke

This weekend was a challenging one weather wise for all of us in the UK especially Equestrians, all thanks to Storm Callum descending upon us.

One of the many braving the weather conditions was our very own sponsored rider Jessica Smith-Clarke and her gorgeous pony Inca.

Jessica’s mum left a fab social media post following their day out to the BD QUEST South West Regional Finals on Saturday.

‘No rosettes today but 2 x 12th places with 64+% (out of 22, U21s) and the funniest comments from the judge in 3rd test (see below 😂)
Inca was very tense today which made Jess tense. But awful weather today and a stressful windy night considered, we were pleased. Jess was happy with what they did considering Inca was so tence, so thats good. Still managed 64 %+ in the MQ tests. However! The last test, the white boards blew and Inca wasnt having any of it! But Jess coped beautifully. Lovely comments from judges and last test comments in TQ test looked like it said..... "Your pony was a nob today. Quietly coped well by you, well done!" 😂😂😂. ‘

Jessica & Inca are still smiling :)

We were very impressed to then find out that Jessica and Inca dusted themselves off and braved the elements once again to compete on Sunday. And loved this post from Jessica written all by herself!

‘Today i went to Wellbeck EC with Inca. It first starts with me having a lie in as i was tired from yesterday. When i got there i got my stuff strait on. Are walm up was not to long befor my first test. The first test was not realy what i was planing but it is fine but then we did a bit more walm up so my riding was beter. Then we went back and gave Inca a drink so he had a boost. The lady just before me went in and i had a few canters then it was time for me to go in so i went in and i did realy nice and it felt beter then the first test. We came third in each test. Thank you to malkome for entering me in so late. Love Jessica’

We love following Jessica’s updates online, especially those that she writes herself, at 8 years old we think her dedication is fabulous. And of course we love seeing Jess & Inca in all of our kit.
