New horses for 2017


Bella Cruise
 The 2017 season is finally on the horizon and things are in full swing at home to ensure we are prepared for our first runs of the year. Each horse has its plan for the season and I have been out competing at dressage and showjumping competitions to prepare them as well as starting to take them XC schooling. Harry Robinson has just had a solid British Dressage outing at Bishop Burton ahead of the regional championships in Feburary. He took 3rd place in a competitive Elementary section scoring over 70% and we are busy preparing to compete in the Novice.

Harry Robinson
I am pleased to say that I have a new ride on a 2* horse called Comarcos Primero Naciado or Nobby, who will be owned by myself and some existing owners. He made a winning start to his time with me, taking top spot in the BS 1.15m at Bishop Burton earlier this month. Alongside him I will be campaigning in 2017, my current rides Harry Robinson owned by Mrs Kate Lyon who is at Intermediate level and Bella Cruise owned by Detech Europe at BE90/100 as well as my other new ride Barolo owned by Mrs Louise Knock who has currently competed to 1* level.
On the training front I have several days planned including an event training day at Killerby Hall Equestrian and two arena eventing training days at Richmond Equestrian Centre through British Eventing. 
That's it for now!
