Safe to say that moving yards in the middle of the season isn't ideal - however, the team worked unbelievably hard to make it all happen and leaving our last yard in immaculate condition.  A huge thanks goes to all of team. 

Think we were all ready for a holiday once it was done but it was time to bring all the horses back into work for the second half of the season.

We had a very successful day with three horses coming out at Aston Le Walls (3) for their first run after their spring 3 days.  They all did exactly what was asked of them - 3 good tests and double clears with steady cross country.

Mackenzy is stepping up to Intermediate next week at Burgham, with Camee de Muze doing the 3*S and Ballycoog Breaker Boy the 4*S.  Really looking forward to being back there as missed it last year.

***NEWS FLASH*** Nations Cup Call Up

Sometimes it's just not your day!!  Poor Conquer (The Partner) came down with a a high temperature on Cross country morning.  It's fair to say that his dressage was below par the day before although there were no signs of a high temp, but just maybe he wasn't feeling on top form - such a shame as he had been feeling great and travelled out really well.  We had really hoped to have a good crack at the cross country as he stormed round it in 2023 with just a glance off towards the end of the course so we were hoping to make amends!! 

However, the weather on cross country morning was tropical rain so perhaps he knew something we didn't!!

A big shout out to Siobhan Binns for looking after him so well and giving him all the attention he deserved. 

On return from Luhumhlen he has been given time to recover  - and as we are in the process of moving yards,  this will delay when he and the others come out for their second half of the season campaign, which I am very much looking forward to. 



Test Done!

Back to work the normal day job following a great week at Badminton

Tenz and Camee de Muze both ran very well in the Intermediate at Aston le walls with Tenz finishing 7th in his section despite my mistake in the show jumping which cost him a clear round and as always great cross country and much improved dressage.  It was lovely to have Tenz's owners with us to watch and see how he is progressing. 

Camee de Muze did a very accurate test to score 21.8 lying second going into show jumping and proceeded to continue his double clear run with a fast run cross country before his 3* long at Bicton taking the win. 

Mackenzy also had a good run in the Novice ahead of his run at Bicton 2*L with a good double clear to finish 10th, whilst Cullion Womanizer didn't have his best day despite an improved dressage but sadly had a stop SJ and also XC but then stormed round in his usual fashion.





Aston Le Walls

We got there, which is an achievement in itself competed and completed, and I was thrilled with my partner - Ballycoog Breaker Boy.  All these years people have been saying there is nothing like Badminton and boy are they right.

We have been a team for the last 8 years and this is what those last 8 years work has been aimed at.  Despite having one horse there Siobhan Binns (Top Groom) didn't stop in her care of BBB and I couldn't be more grateful.  I also didn't seem to stop between hacking out, trot ups, schooling, general exercising, lessons, competing, commitments to my wonderful sponsors and of course all the many friends that came to support me.  It really was quite the experience. 

I was of course disappointed that we didn't get BBB's extended trot in the dressage as this had a massive affect on our score as it affected two scores in the test.  Despite this we got it back together and the rest of the test was good.  The atmosphere in there was quite something  - I wasn't conscious of the crowd but very much aware of the atmosphere.

Cross Country we had each others back - and worked together to help each other out when needed - a great round and lots left in the tank so I know what we have for future 5* events. 

Show jumping was a tough track and very cleverly built by the designer using every dip and furrow  - resulting in only 3 clear rounds! Despite our poles I was very pleased with how William Show Jumped which is definitely his weakest phase and very much work in progress.

A massive thank you to the HUGE team that have got me to this point, not just the current team but past team members also - everyone has contributed to this exciting achievement. Exciting times ahead

Cirencester:

Tenz and Camee de Muze both had very good runs at Cirencester Park before the rain came down and caused the rest of the weekend to be cancelled.  Both of them did good tests and double clears with Tenz finishing 9th and Camee de Muze 10th - both running steadily xc as planned. 


Osberton International 

Tenz, Camee de Muze and Mackenzy all had very good runs in their 3*S and 2*S respectively.  Thursday proved to be a reminder of what competing in the sun was like - but sadly this didn't last for the weekend although was improved compared to recent weeks.  

All three worked well in the dressage and both Camee de Muze and Mackenzy had double clears and learnt a lot from their cross country rounds which were both tough tracks and very twisty
Both sections were very big and we were very pleased with Camee de Muze finishing 11th in the 3* and Mackenzy 5th in the 2*.  Tenz was amazing cross country so straight and loved every minute and tried very hard in the SJ but just caught a couple of poles. Both 3 * horses were run steadily xc as planned.

A good weekend with all three horses doing very nice double clears..............in the sun!

This weekend was also interspersed with celebrations for my 30th Birthday -  It was lovely, with no actual competing to do on the Saturday, that we were able to get off site and go to the Beach.

Ballycoog Breaker Boy (4*S) did a good test but we fluffed a change which was costly as they are double points in that test, but the rest of his work was good. He then did a great show jumping round and accurate cross country round which was planned to have some time penalties.

The Partner (4*) did a good test for him and great to have his show jumping back on form following  Thoresby and he just felt mega on the cross country track. 

Camee de Muze's dressage didn't go according to plan - this was his first stay away and he was a touch over excited. However, he more than made up for it with his excellent jumping both sj and xc. 

Also, Well done to Marianna Sawyer, who completed her first 3* with a great XC round.

Next outing at Kelsall with the youngsters and then 7 rides at Cirencester over the following weekend. 

A big thank you to Hannah Cole for the fab photos as always. 




Always great to share the occasions with family and supporters

The Partner  - 4*S


The Partner (Conquer) is part of an Experience Syndicate for £95 per year - This is run by Event Horse Owners Syndicate.  For more information please contact:

https://www.eventhorseownerssyndicate.co.uk/buy-a-share/the-partner/

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 over the years and this shows 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. Where errors occurred they were not his doing.   He had a very good first half of 2022 finishing at Bramham 4*L with a good dressage, double clear with time faults keeping him out of the prizes.  We then gave him the rest of the year off as he had a small injury but he is back out in 2023 starting with a 7th in the Lincoln OI.

Mackenzy and Cullion Womanizer had a good run at Kelsall Hill 2* S.

It was their first time working in an indoor arena for their dressage test and they both coped well with the atmosphere and luckily the resident owl stayed put during their tests.

Show Jumping wasn't our best but for some reason that arena was making some very good show jumpers very green including both horses. They just went very spooky.

XC was great on both with Cullion Womanizer giving me a great round, very straight at all the fences and coping with the change in ground around the course very well.  Mackenzy also had a good round but not quite so fluent but good enough to bring him in to 9th place in his first 2*S.

An exciting prospect that has joined the team in November 2022.  He has been bought to produce and sell. Related to Ballycoog Breaker Boy.

He has a lovely character on the ground and has lots of ability in all three phases.  He is particularly talented cross country where he is confident and always looking for the next set of flags.

A civilised time leaving the yard to drive to Norton Disney with Cullion Womanizer and Mackenzy. This was our first trip in our Owens 3.5Ton and what a difference it makes to the journey!

It was a VERY windy day, but pretty much dry so we were all happy and the ground had dried well since Friday.

Cullion Womanizer did some great trot work but having got spooked in the canter work decided to carry this through for the rest of the test!! He then did the same in the Show Jumping but again there was some good jumps also!.  I was really pleased with him in the xc despite a stop at a step down which in all honesty he hasn't seen recently,  as we haven't managed to get out enough xc training - can't think why!!!

Mackenzy was his normal consistent self - very good dressage with one "scoot" and then a lovely Clear SJ round - probably his best and a lovely steady XC finishing in 3rd place!

Next up is Burhham Market with the 4 big boys - in the 3* and 4* - hoping for a dry few days!

Then off to Kelsall.



Happy with the test!

Huge shout out for the team at Tweseldown who put on a fantastic event in 4 days following the cancellation of Cirencester. Incredible - thank you to everyone. 
Camee de Muze and  Tenz, in the Intermediate, Mackenzy and Cullion Womanizer in the Novice.  I was really pleased with all the horses and particularly their Cross country and SJ.  Finishing the day with Camee de Muze and Mackenzy in the top 10 of their sections - both owned by Caroline Leng who was over from Jersey to watch them.

The first international at Thorseby went well and again a huge shout out to BEDE Events for the huge effort to keep the show on the road with all their advanced planning.  A great event.  Both Ballycoog Breaker Boy and The Partner were in the 4* Grantham Cup which read like the who's who of eventing. 

Ballycoog Breaker Boy was feeling on great form and produced a very good test (30.4) with two obvious mistakes preventing it from being lower.

He jumped well in the show jumping with 1 pole and was excellent cross country - he so enjoys this  - I do have to remind myself to concentrate and not sit as a passenger!

The Partner also did a very good test (32.6) but we missed a flying change and a little tension in the canter work but otherwise I was very pleased with him. Sadly not his day in the SJ ring  - he was far too excited to get out on the cross country so had a couple of poles which is very unlike him.  As a result we didn't run him XC

Both these horses, Camee de Muze and Tenz are heading for the 4*s and 3*S at Burnham market in a couple of weeks. 

We are just rejigging some of the horses runs as Portman and South of England have been abandoned. 

Mckenzy and Cullion Womanizer are now heading to Norton Disney on the 7th April -followed by their first 2*s at Kelsall Hill -  fingers crossed they run!!

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…

I am super excited to become an Ambassador for Holland Cooper in 2024.  Look out for their timeless mens clothing as I trot up at International competitions throughout the season wearing their timeless clothing.

Holland Cooper now have a mens range of clothing  and I believe what Jade has said, below, about their women's clothing applies to their mens line as well - I certainly felt great wearing their clothing in the trots up at Badminton 2024.

Jade has said about Holland Cooper :

"Holland Cooper is a way of life. Our collections exude luxury and sensibility, we design pieces that will fit into her lifestyle and stay with her for years to come. I have set out to empower women through beautiful clothes, allowing and facilitating inner strength and power. I believe, if you look good, you feel good.
