Insight: 

Now rising 9 he feels as though we are moving forward and his ability to become a triple threat is getting closer.  He is stronger than he has ever been and we feel our patience is paying off. 

Purchased as a 4 year old, he has been  very successful ever since.  During the winter following his 5 year old season, with time off, he grew a huge amount. This then followed a few months off as he pulled his hind muscles getting cast in the stable.  This lead to a late start to his 6 year old season which actually was a blessing in disguise, as it gave him a chance to adjust to his physical changes. As he is a tall horse we are taking time with him as he will not strengthen for a while. Having been a quiet gentle giant as a 5 year old he turned into a demanding teenager as a 6 and 7 year old and is never happier than when he is working.  He really enjoys the challenges of Eventing and seems to like the big stage.


Ballycoog Breaker Boy (William)

This lovely young horse ticks all the boxes for a top event horse. He has a good brain and is also very affectionate. 

He came into work at the end of 2020 so
he will start competing at the latter stages of the 2021 season.

He is owned by Parkfield Breeding and we look forward to sharing many exciting competitions together. 




Lazio PFB

A truly exciting horse owned by Parkfield Breeding. 

Lou will compete, Eventing, later this year and will be aimed at the 5 YO Young Horse National Championship.

He has raw natural ability. It is exciting to see how he develops. He was backed as a 4 year old and then lightly worked for a month in July 2020.

He came into full work with WRE in the Autumn of 2020 and will be Eventing, later in 2021.


Lou PFB (Lou)

1 of 3 horses in The VIP 2021 Membership

Otto was originally bought to produce and sell. However, due to how much he has grown and how weak he is, it has been a longer process than planned!

With the way he has developed and strengthened over this winter I now feel he has a lot of potential to be successful in eventing.

I am very tempted to keep him!

The plan for this year is to start competing in affiliated competitions in the second half of the season.

Optimus Actinium (Otto)

Stardom had a very successful year despite covid trying it's best to shorten it for us all. He is very straight and honest cross country. Although, he can be very excitable, he began to settle in his dressage tests the more he went out, in 2020,  achieving some good scores. 

His result for 2020 included:

Intermediate:
Kelsall Hill - 7th
Cornbury House International  - 13th

Novice

Aston le Walls - 1st
Aston le Walls - 4th
Barbury Castle - 6th

Insight: 

Purchased as a 5 year old in February 2018. It took him a while to settle into his new environment and is now a lovely well natured horse who enjoys his work. He is very trainable and hugely talented. 

He had a quiet year in 2019 as he had an operation to remove a tiny particle of skin from his bone. By the time he was back in work we felt time would be better spent in training rather than in competing at the end of the season. 

Unfortunately due to injury he will not be competing in 2021 but we are already looking forward to 2022. 



StarDom  (Dom)


Dom is Owned by Parkfield Breeding. He joined Will’s team in October 2019.  The first lockdown played into his hands giving Will the chance to train him into his system. He is an exciting addition to the team with great promise. We are very much looking forward to seeing his development.

Achievements to date: 

2020

Placed in the top 10 in 6 out of 7 competitions including wins in his first two Novice competitions

Goals for 2021: 

To Progress to CCI2* and onto Intermediate. Compete at the 7 year old National Young Horse Championships.





The Dominator PFB (Dom)


Conquer is bred to show jump and we bought him as a 6 year old.  He likes his own space and given the choice wouldn’t have anyone in the next door stable. He is a sensitive character .  His confidence improved hugely in 2019/20 and this showed in his results and achievements.  

When away at big competitions we have to be one step ahead of him in how to keep him relaxed. He is a machine cross country and his blips in summer 2019 were due to a lost shoe at the first fence at Rockingham and sore muscles at Hartpury 4*.  He was back to form at Withington Advanced with a fabulous double clear and 7th place finish. Dressage is our ongoing  focus.

Achievements to date: 

2020

Burnham Market International 4*S - 9th

2019

Withington Advanced - 7th

Aston Le Walls Advanced - 10th

Belton international CCI3*-S 12th

Double clear in his first CCI3*-S in 2019

Goals for 2021: 

To compete successfully at  CCI4* and to compete in the CCI4*L at Blenheim.





The Partner  (Conquer)

Included in The VIP 2021 Membership

Purchased as a 4 year old and was obviously talented from day one. He hasn’t disappointed since.  He loves to be the centre of attention and has always been top dog. 

He likes to perform on the big stages and they bring the best out in him. He now realises there are some young guns around and let's them know who's boss! 

His dressage has improved hugely in 2019/20 and we look forward to his future success.

Achievements:

2019

Bicton International CCI3*S - 1st

Bramham International CCI4*L Under 25 Championships - 3rd

Burnham Market International CCI4* S - 11th

2018: 

Selected for Nations cup Team to USA 

Goals for 2021:

V.I.P Vinnie  (Vinnie)

George is a very genuine all rounder with a lot of potential to move up the grades in Show Jumping or Eventing. 

He loves jumping and is easy to train. He has always been very straight forward to look after and lives in or out.

He was bought to produce and sell.

Clonshire on Trend (Gorgeous George)


Purchased as a 4 year old at the end of 2018 and broken in, February 2019.  He is a very willing horse and wants to learn.  He has plenty of scope. He would be good as an Eventer or Dressage horse.

He competed a little during 2020.

He was bought to sell, so will go on the market this spring.








Tresaison Superted (Ted)

With the last 2021 5* competition this weekend in France I reflect on my season which finished at Osberton - it was Fantastic to have 2 FOD's to finish the season with Ballycoog Breaker Boy and The Dominator gave me 110% all week at Osberton and worked with me every step of the way.  They were rewarded with a 4th (in the 3*L) and 2nd (in the 2*L) at Osberton.

A huge thank you to Michael Hewlett for looking after them so well and for doing all my trot ups for me. ( I was still recovering from my fall at Blenheim!) Also, for his care of the horses and the support through out the season. 

William started the week with a Thursday dressage which I was really chuffed with as he was relaxed and rideable and for me it was a better performance than at Blenheim. I was very disappointed with his mark as I didn't feel it reflected the work he did.  However, Dressage is very subjective so it obviously wasn't what the judges were looking for. 

William was lucky to have the best of the weather, as the forecast was very bad for the afternoon. They had reduced the course by 1 minute so they could get as many horses cross country before the weather came in.  He gave me a very good ride, very straight and honest, as usual. Although we did have one hairy moment when my air jacket went off as I leant too far back at a big drop and the new lanyard got over stretched!! This momentarily winded me but luckily the air pressure reduced over time. Clear Inside the time.

William never wants to touch the SJ fences although he is economical over them!!! He jumped better than at Blenheim and achieved the clear that I wanted which moved us from 11th to 4th. 

He has been very consistent this season - I am really pleased with him and looking forward to competing in the 4*L next season.  We are looking for owners to join us on this journey and be part of  the Will Rawlin Eventing Team. 

Dom - We knew he was capable of this result as he seems to have come on so much recently.  He very much did his best dressage performance, working with me from start to finish and trying really hard. 

I was slightly apprehensive about the cross country as he can loose confidence and shrink within himself. Despite the really bad weather conditions he was in his element and had his ears pricked from start to finish. I was so pleased with him when crossed the finish line  - clear inside the time.
After XC we were lying 4th.

No pressure then for the show jumping!!! This was by far his best round, feeling supple and rideable  and he felt really confident in himself.  A fantastic clear finishing with a well deserved 2nd place. It's great to be on the podium in such a competitive sport.  I'm super pleased for Parkfield Breeding as I know how much they put into this and all their horses. As a team we know this is the start of what he will achieve in the future. 

A big thank you to all the volunteers who work tirelessly throughout the year - particularly all those who got soaked through in the down pour on Saturday afternoon at Osberton.

Look out for membership opportunities, winter training clinics, and ownership options in Ballycoog Breaker Boy.

A big thank you to the whole team for their tireless input into keeping myself and the horses on the road - we have a very special team and I am hugely grateful to each and everyone of you.  

The season was full of ups and downs, as always, but overall it was a good season giving us so much hope for 2022 and beyond and with some new horses coming in we will certainly be busy.

Roll on next season.

What a way to finish the season.....


Ballycoog Breaker Boy has achieved a top 10 finish in every age class.  My aim for the 8/9 year old Championships (4*S) was a top ten finish - great to achieve what we set out to do.

If I am honest I was slightly disappointed with the test and therefore the mark. He wasn't carrying himself as well as he has been and therefore his engagement from behind wasn't as good as it could be. He did everything I asked and it was a clear round test. 

I was glad not to be early in the Show Jumping as the fog was really bad and made the arena quite eerie - it was still there for us but the sun was just breaking through. Luck was on our side as we touched just about every fence but managed a clear. It was a full up twisty course with big crowds and he slightly distracted - I think these young horses have really missed the experience of having crowds over the last couple of years. 

Having had a fall on Saturday I wasn't in a great place both physically and mentally, the morning of cross country.  A mixture of Indiba's electromagnetic current treatment, both Saturday and Sunday, being strapped up and the belief that I was on a very good horse got me round the course.  The ground was the best there for years and an extremely good inviting course which was a real joy to ride with Ballycoog Breaker Boy being honest and straight from start to finish. We just had a few time penalties which left us in 8th place.

This horse just keeps giving and I would love to find people who would like to join in his journey to 5*. He has a lot more to come which is super exciting.

The Partner performed his best test to date at 4* (2nd best score) but he was the most rideable he has ever been in a big arena. I was thrilled with this as this part of eventing doesn't come naturally to him. Unfortunately I fell off him on the cross country (he didn't fall).  The Partner was absolutely mega around the course and giving me one of his best rounds cross country. He seemed to be coping with the crowds,  which were huge. This is very encouraging as he is a bit of a worrier.  The fall was a lot heavier than we thought and having checked my back out there are a couple of broken transverse processes (wings of the vertebrae). Nothing can be done about this so just sorting the bruising and pain.  The Partner came bouncing out on Sunday thinking he was getting ready for his show jumping and looked so well.  

A big thank you to Michael Hewlett for looking after the horses so well and picking up the slack this week. 

The Dominator PFB and Ballycoog Breaker Boy are at Osberton in the 2*L and 3*L at the end of the month. - Then a holiday for all!!

All top riders know the importance of safety and with many of the best riders in the world putting their trust in Champion, you know you can too. Wocket Woy & The Pwoducer, Ruby & Katie Walsh, Pippa Funnell MBE, Piggy French, Kitty King and Sophie Wells MBE, to name but a few, all ride in Champion products because they know that Champion products offer supreme levels of protection, while allowing them to focus the job of riding their horses.

Champion has a tremendous safety heritage and the brand has been a driving force in the design and development of protective riding hats for over 40 years. Over this time, design and production technology has been refined, enhanced and perfected to ensure Champion products are based upon the most up-to-date, scientific safety research.

Champion helped to develop and was the first manufacturer to the British Standard PAS015 over 20 years ago. PAS015 is more stringent than other standards.

Some things haven’t changed though. Champion products have always stood up to the most rigorous testing standards and Champion’s hats have always carried the British Standards Institute (BSI)  Kitemark – right from when the brand was first launched over 40 years ago.

The Kitemark stands for continual batch testing and factory inspections and guarantees you that every Champion hat will comfortably out perform the four main areas of testing: penetration, shock absorption, harness strength and stability. On average, every single working day of the year, a Champion hat is independently tested by the British Standards Institute to ensure it exceeds the PAS015 standard.

…Giving you complete confidence in the fact that all Champion products are built to perfection, tested to destruction…
