At the beginning of the week Jennie had been representing Lamerton Pony Club at the Pony Club Championships at Sansaw Park, Shropshire in the show jumping section.
Jennie jumped a good clear round in the first part of the competition but then, unfortunately, knocked two poles down in the second round which meant she finished just outside the rosettes.
