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!

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.
