We felt extremely lucky to have been to our first training event under Covid regulations run by the wonderful team at Aston le Walls putting on an Elite Pathway Training event. We had John and Jan Bodenham’s Solo and Faruq Aldrup along with Nicky Gregory’s and my own Drumnaconnell Nico in the Intermediate. We also…

I hope everyone has had a fabulous summer and your horses have been going well. Now that the weather is cooling off and we have been lucky to have some rain to soften the ground, the riding conditions are perfect. Having been competing throughout the season I do find it hard sometimes to ’train’ specifically, as…

It was great to take John and Jan Bodenham‘s lovely 5yo Unicorn by Uniqhors 🦄 to Rackham on the weekend to jump a lovely double clear, becoming more confident every time he goes out! He warmed up lovely and went in around the arena to spotted some scary extra white boards and letters staked up…

Hope and Faith has put in yet another great performance in the Novice at BCA on the weekend. It was here this time last year she was doing her first ever event starting out in the BE90. She did a respectable test for a 32 and jumped a lovely clear show jumping round and a…

I think Tattersalls has to be the best event that we have competed at so far! Whilst it wasn’t the result for Solo that we were hoping for we both learnt a lot about each other and hopefully come out richer for it next time. Whilst Freddie travelled very well and settled into the fantastic…

Just about the whole team has managed to get out this weekend all having had a great few days down the road at HaygainTweseldown .

We all braved the weather on Wednesday and Thursday 😂🙈 at Aston Le Walls Equestrian Centre with the aid of a couple of good waterproof jackets! Both Solo and Drumnaconnell Nico did respectable tests with two great jumping phases. We decided to save Faruq Aldrup and Scarlett Tamarind for another day to do the XC….

It was so exciting to get the young guns out at Munstead unaffiliated on Saturday( 20th April) . John and Jan Bodenham’s lovely just turned 5yo Unicorn by Uniqhors produced a lovely double clear in the 90. Such a lovely horse with such mature head learning what life is all about. I also rode Mermaid…

On Friday (19th April) Michael and Sally Marley-Ward‘s Scarlet Tamarind had a great run for her first Intermediate of the season with a lovely clear cross country with 1 pole SJ. Drumnaconnell Nico also having his first intermediate of the season saw him do a lovely dressage test to be third in strong field and…

I could not be more happy with all the horses and for their owners at The South of England Horse Trials on the Weekend. On Saturday we had Scarlett Tamarind jumping a lovely double clear and coming 2nd in the Novice.  Brooke Key West along with Hope and Faith both jumped a great double clear…

Great day at Portman at despite the hail storm just before we went out! Both Brook Key West and Hope & Faith went double clear and achieved a 31 in the dressage – they’re definitely starting to get the hang of this eventing! 😁🐴 Thank you to Maryfor the brilliant turn out on the horses! …
