In the middle of June I went to Fuzhou China to compete in the New Zealand Pony Club team at an International Show Jumping event. We had to borrow horses so only had a couple of days to get used to them and then started competing. We trained with the Australians and met the Chinese teams on competition days. We came 3rd in the competition with China taking 1st and 2nd and Australia 4th. I placed 9th in my practice round. The experience was great and seeing the sport from an international point of view was interesting. I got to meet some amazing people and horses from the trip.
