A great week with Impuls V at Osberton International Horse Trials, giving his all in every phase in his first CCI2*L. He certainly isn’t the finished article quite yet, but considering how far he has come in his first year eventing I am so pleased. We started off with a 29.3 in the dressage, were…
I was so lucky to ride four lovely young horses at the Nexgen Young Event Horse 2021 final at The All England Jumping Course, Hickstead this week. Highlights video below First up was 4YO Watch me Roll, owned by Tiffany and Richard Morgan Evans Next was 6YO Headleys Quixote owned by Tristan Norman 3rd was…
Impuls V stepping up to CCI2*S level and his first international at Cornbury House Horse Trials today. He was super and gave me a brilliant feeling around a really educational and decent track, which had plenty of questions. It was a great experience for him and he is really learning to land and look for…
Watch Me Roll, owned by Richard & Tiffany Morgan-Evans, putting in a lovely performance at her first unaffiliated ODE at Mendip Plains Equestrian Centre – leading the dressage, going clear showjumping and just having one little hesitation at the first water to keep her out of the top placings this time, but still finishing in 11th.…
Impuls V putting in a great performance around a decent novice track at Wellington Horse Trials yesterday. He made a couple of minor mistakes but a good test overall to score 30.3. A lovely clear show jumping round in much better balance but just costing us a couple of time faults. And a super clear…
So lucky to ride these lovely 4YOs who headed to their first competiton yesterday, doing the Nexgen Young Event Horse 2021 class at Cherwell. First up was Watch me Roll, owned and bred by Richard and Tiffany Morgan-Evans, who finished 7th and qualified for the final. Then Wilsford Lyric, owned and bred by Richard Lowe,…
Impuls V feeling awesome at Aston Le Walls! A nice test for 29.8, one unlucky rail showjumping – but jumped his socks off for a lovely round, and a nice easy clear XC. http://www.coralkeeneventing.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/WhatsApp-Video-2021-08-16-at-12.57.59-PM-1.mp4
Really pleased with Implus V test from Dauntsey Park Horse Trials to score 23.5 and led after this phase. He followed it up with some great jumping rounds, albeit I didn’t go for the time on this occasions. He is feeling spot on for some internationals later on in the season. http://www.coralkeeneventing.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/CK-Dauntsey.mp4
Impuls V had a great run at Barbury International Horse Trials this weekend in the novice. A lovely test, then a solid round showjumping, with just an unlucky rail – but I was really pleased with how he coped being in the atmospheric main arena. Onto cross country and I didn’t push him for time,…
Impuls V was a star again at Farley Hall this weekend. Despite his lack of experience at novice level he feels so confident and established already. He produced solid performances in all 3 phases to finish 2nd in his second novice. Will allow the handbrake off a little more next time http://www.coralkeeneventing.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/coral-keen-FH-12.mp4
Over the moon with Impuls V, easily stepping up to novice level at West Wilts Equestrian Centre this weekend. A 26 dressage, even with a couple of green moments. One SJ down and an awesome clear cross country – where he gave me a class feel everywhere and there was plenty to do! Went steady…
Impuls V putting an even bigger smile on my face, taking another BE100 win this time at Tweseldown – such a special horse Ginnie Wellings
Not your average “hack day” this week Couldn’t be happier to have said yes to this special man 20.05.21
Both horses went really well yesterday, in less than ideal weather My own & Ginnie Wellings Impuls V scored 21.5 and finished on it for 2nd he just gets better and better! Then Laura Swinnerton – Eventing & Showjumping’s Clarimilo did 29 dressage, had an unlucky pole (costing us the win) and clear in the…
Horses feeling on great form at Ascott under Wychwood yesterday. Impuls V was right back on track doing a lovely test and solid jumping rounds to finish 5th. Clarimilo was contending his second ever event and first run at BE100 level and took it all in his stride to finish 8th.
Over the weekend, we headed to Larkhill with Impuls V for his second event. Having gone so well at Tweseldown and throughout in his training, I felt he was prepared as ever and ready to go. He did a nice test for 30.5, a little distracted, but even with this he scored well. We then…
Amazing to be back out eventing with my own and Ginnie Wellings Impuls V. I was thrilled with how he went in all three phases in our first competition together and really excited to see how he develops through the season.
We had a great couple of days at Hartpury International with Total Belief in the CCI4*S. Her test felt great and I was really pleased with our performance, to score 26.6 and be right up there after the first phase. The cross country was a decent track and she felt awesome until we unfortunately got…
A busy weekend at Wilton Horse Trials. On the Saturday, I took Total Darkness (Ted), who put in a lovely test to lead his novice section on a score of 23. We decided the ground wasn’t quite right for him to jump this time so saved him for another day. Total Freedom (Juno) put in…
A promising day for Team Keen at a very hot Barbury International Horse Trials☀ I was competing both of Margaret Cuffs horses, Barrison and Leaping Lord. Barrison scored a 26.8 on his first time out which is very promising. Unfortunately, he went onto tense up in the main arena, resulting in two fences down which…
Farley Hall Horse Trials is fast becoming one of our favourite Team Keen events. The organisers do an amazing job and go above and beyond, thank you so much for putting on such a great weekend. All our horses put in good performances. Leaping Lord, owned by Margaret Cuff, did a 33 dressage, had an…
Team Keen had a good weekend all round at Ascot Under Wychwood. First up (video below) was 5YO Total Freedom, who did a nice test and jumped her socks off for a fabulous double clear. Willows Saviour owned by Margaret Cuff was back out for his second ever event (in his previous career he was…
Team Keen had a good weekend overall at Pontispool ? Quintessential did a really lovely test in the Novice and probably one of her best to date. However, this didn’t seem to get reflected in her mark but she still remained competitive. She was quite feisty in the showjumping which lead her to have an unfortunate…
Our latest event was Tweseldown with two young homebreds. First up was 6YO Quintessential in the Novice. Her test was super and right up there in terms of scoring. In the showjumping we had an annoying pole but a good round. Then onto the cross country, where I felt she was going better than ever,…
Total Belief had a great event at the Dodson & Horrell Chatsworth International Horse Trials CCI-S4*. In the dressage she was so rideable and really on side throughout, I thought she could have scored in the late 20s but still got a very respectable 32.7, with a few bits for me to go away and…
Our lovely 5YO homebred Total Freedom learning the eventing game very nicely and coming 2nd in her 100 section at Moreton Morrell?Just adding 0.4 to her dressage score of 24.8 – love this little mare ??

Great weekend at Withington Horse Trials with two lovely horses both owned by Total Equestrian Construction. On Saturday Total Belief (April) was in the Advanced class – her first run at this level this season. What an awesome mare she is, doing a smart test for 31 (even with me forgetting which way I was…
Brilliant weekend at Bicton Arena – one of the favourite Team Keen events. Quintessential (Chilli) did her second novice class and went really well. She had a couple of green moments in probably the most challenging test she has done so far, but scored a very respectable 31. We had an unlucky pole in the…
Great run at Burnham with Total Belief in the OI. She felt mega in all three phases and jumped a lovely double clear, although I did take her steady cross country. Next stop Withington Advanced ??

A great day at Larkhill with lots going on in the Team Keen camp! I had an exciting event with three lovely Total Equestrian Construction horses. First up was 6YO Total Miracle in the BE100. He did a stunning test to score 25, sadly he struggled with the show-jumping on the slight slope, being big…
A good day at the office for Team Keen at Portman. Leaping Lord, owned by Margaret Cuff, was sadly a bit tense in the dressage, had an unlucky pole, but then finished up with a good steady clear cross country. Total Darkness carried on his run on good form. Scoring 27 in the dressage with…
Lovely Chilli scores her first win of the season at Goring 100 ??? Making our less than ideal route choice through Reading town centre totally worth it! Big shout out to all of Team Keen for all their super work keeping the show on the road ?? Total Equestrian Construction . Saracen Horse Feeds . Readysupp…
Total Belief had a pretty good day at Gatcombe Horse Trials in her first AI of the 2019 season – although there are always things to work on! A nice test with a little bit of tension at the start causing one mistake but still scored a competitive 30.2. We then went onto have two down showjumping which…
A busy couple of days for Team Keen at Tweseldown in typical March eventing weather, quite windy! On Thursday we had Quintessential (Chilli) and Total Miracle (Leo) in the BE100. Leo felt great and put in a solid performance for 7th place in the 100. Chilli was also on good form, but had an unlucky…
