We had a great day at West Wilts on Friday where my two home-breds, Total Belief and Total Darkness, excelled themselves. Total Darkness, a spooky character by nature, tried so hard not to spook and scored 25.5 in his dressage test and then jumped a lovely double clear. He picked up a couple of time…
It was great to be able to offer advice to a Horse and Hound forum reader on how to re-instill confidence in her horse. Read the full article here http://www.horseandhound.co.uk/features/hh-question-week-give-horse-stops-jumping-confidence-588941
We had a great couple of days at Bicton Arena International where the team did a super job on the ground which meant we could take the handbrake off cross country. Our homebred Total Belief (April) finished on her dressage score of 27.5 to win her novice section by a convincing margin of more than…
Aston-Le-Walls This proved a busy competition with four horses running between 11am and 6pm so it was non-stop for a few hours! Cascadelle (Lola) lead her dressage on a score of 27.7, jumped an immaculate showjumping round, just rolling a pole, and was super cross country where I didn’t feel she needed to run…
Stierna’s high performance riding jacket – the Prime 3L – has once again proved perfect during the deluge at the start of the week. The jacket is made in a unique 3-layer EQUTEX™ 4-way stretch fabric which is waterproof, windproof and breathable and its great for layering. Fully taped seams with pre-shaped sleeves and ergonomically…
I was absolutely delighted with Peter Holdgate’s Hayestown Clover Quin on his second run for me at Wilton at the weekend where he completed on his dressage score again to finish in second place in the open novice. I’m looking forward to moving up to intermediate in a couple of weeks. Highmead Proposition (Jake) did…
We had a great result at Luhmuhlen CCI4* where Derby (Wellshead Fare Opposition) had a top 15 finish. He’s really making a mark as a future team prospect with another good clear across country, a very good dressage and a super showjumping round.

After a great run from Cascadelle at Barbury International on Friday, on Sunday we headed down to Bicton Arena, one of my favourite venues, with four horses. I was absolutely over the moon with my new ride, Peter Holdgate’s Hayestown Clover Quin who won the open novice on a score of 23.8. He’s a super…
The E-Vento boots from Veredus are superb. After 11 minutes of cross country at Luhmuhlen in the CCI4* they boots hadn’t moved, flipped or marked Derby, and that included four water jumps. They are super boots and come highly recommended. You can buy them on the Zebra Products website http://veredus-uk.shptron.com/c/new_e-vento And there’s a great video on…
We went to Chepstow on Saturday with Vodka Luge and Lady Logan Berry for their first BE in the 90 class where I competed HC as I have ridden at advanced level. They went along for the experience and they were both such a pleasure. They did nice tests, jumped very well and were super across…
