٣ أشهر فى TT News day

SPECIAL Olympics TT athletes showcased their skills on their four-legged friends when the equestrian leg of the National Games was held at the TT Police Service Mounted Branch, St James, on May 25.
Half of the events on the day involved shapes, which means the athletes must ride horses along a course while picking up different shapes, such as circles and squares. The athletes must put all the identical shapes together.
Zachary Tyrell of Palmeras, riding Jayla, won event one, the first of six developmental shapes events on the day for athletes learning the sport.
Reece Mohammed on top Hannibal finished second, also representing Palmeras.
Imani Price of Immortelle, on-board Harry, finished third.
Jayla and Harry were the standout horses on the day in the developmental shapes, winning three events each.
Jabari Baird (Harry) of New Beginning; Zaiden Birchwood (Jayla) of Palmeras; New Beginning's Jonathan Hugging (Jayla); Giovanni Sutherland (Harry) of Immortelle; and Stefan Ayoung (Harry) of Kidspace were also victorious on the day.
The balance and concentration of athletes were put to the test in the developmental ball and spoon event. Competitors in these events were required to balance a ball on a spoon while controlling the horse.
Jadon King (Jayla) and Rhian King (Ichabod), both of Lady Hochoy Vocational Centre, won ball and spoon events.
Working trail events and dressage events were also held. The dressage included more experienced athletes with Elijah Patrick (Hannibal) of Goodwill Industries and Chike Sam (Anesta) of Independents winning their respective events.
Last weekend, athletics and powerlifting took place also.
Action shifts to Tobago on May 28 for football, athletics and bocce.
