I had a great day at Moreton Morrell last week where April (Total Belief) won a BE100 section finishing on her dressage score of 29 having jumped a double clear. She’s such a star! Jake (Highmead Proposition) also did a nice test to score 29 and had a unlucky rail showjumping. He had a green…

Derby was terrific at Withington Manor at the weekend where he was second in a competitive advanced section. He made just one mistake, when he struck into canter after the rein back- rather than trot, but even so everything else was very good and I was pleased with his score of 30 which equates to 70%.…

Lola had the perfect step up to novice today at Somerley Park where she finished 10th after a super dressage test and a double clear. We took it steady for her first time and picked up a few time penalties. I was also really pleased with Derby in the OI. He also did a really…
Lola (Cascadelle) picked up another novice win at Bicton Arena where she did a beautiful test even though she felt very fresh in the warm up. She was great showjumping and felt super cross country and was very good on her lines. After such an intense start to the season she’s had a bit of a…
The new eventing season started off very promisingly at Tweseldown on Thursday. Derby (Wellshead Fare Oppostion) was superb in the dressage in a very hot OI scoring a personal best dressage score of 22.5 which put us second. He showjumped clear but we had a steering problem at the water which I am confident we…

Fully waterproof the boots don’t absorb or retain water, meaning they stay dry despite weather and going conditions. And, although they offer robust protection, the…
