Collecting the Glenfiddich ’Plate’ at the B six ‘wet’ obstacles ranging from open ditches to river lords, and a large pond to jump out. A new innovation was a pallet yard in a combinatiort, which rode clear for all but three horses, despite it's somewhat daunting appearance. The final jump was a beautifully constructed and last steepleohase fence. which gave much pleasure to those with racing blood in their veins. The course was not easy and produced a ‘test' sor'r'iewl‘iere for every horse no matter how experienced. Sadly, the course had to be dismantled afterwards - this took the full muster strength of C Squadron precisely three hours! The polo season was most encouraging. The Regiment took a full part in the BAOR and German Tournaments. Wherever possible we tried to enter as a Regimental team. Alli’tough too inexperienced to Witt the maior cup, we progressed throughout the season and carried away the 'F‘late' in Berlin, plus a number of minor prizes at other tournaments. At the end of the season the Hamburg Polo Club awarded us the 'Fairness' Prize. for the team causing the least number of touts. erlin Tournament. THE 9THr'121 H ROYAL LANCERS REGIMENTAL JOURNAL Our move to Woltenb‘uttel provided only temporary accommodation relief. With twenty horses in the yard and five more arriving shortly, new boxes will have to be built. The Stables are being reorganised into two yards; a saddle club and a working yard for the polo ponies. Cpl Beadle is running the Polo Yard and chl Harrison the Saddle Club. With strong interest being shown in horses throughout the regiment, we are confident that the Saddle Club will be a great success. The aim of the Polo Yard is to appear in the finals of the ‘lnter Regimental‘ and the ’Captatns and Subalterns‘ in i984] |
