Upton House

It was Total Belief’s turn at Upton on Wednesday. It was her first run back since doing so well in the CCI** at Renswoude and I was fully expecting her to be a bit of a handful from the break! But she totally surprised us all by being super chilled and calm, which was very…

Tweseldown

I had a great two days of competition at Tweseldown and really enjoyed the event. The courses were very educational and had lots of variation. I felt like the event team had put a lot of thought into creating interesting courses for each level. The 90 and the 100 feeling like miniature versions of the…

Strzegom Nations Cup

Farley Horse Trials

A relatively relaxed weekend for Team Keen at Farley with a horse running on each day for me and our working pupil Maddie was also competing. We took Quintessential on Saturday and she had another good run. A nice, consistent test for a score of 30. One unlucky pole rolled when she lost balance going…

Pontispool Horse Trials

Overall, an educational day at Pontispool for the team of horses I took down, perhaps not the best on paper, but lots of positives to take away. First up was Midnight Chill owned by Clare White in the novice class. This was only his second run at this level and as a 6 year old…

Rockingham International

We headed up to Rockingham International with four horses in varying classes and were blessed with brilliant sunshine all weekend! First up was our 5yr old homebred mare Quintessential (Chilli) having only her third run ever in the BE100 class. I was really pleased with how she took everything on, as Rockingham would be by…
