With the weather turning it feels like the
season is finally getting started. Mrs Kate Lyon’s Harry Robinson and Tayvale
Eccossaise both had a run at Richmond Horse Trials earlier this month. This was Harry’s first event of the season
and only Eccy’s second due to all the recent cancellations. Harry performed a
decent test, one down SJ and a steady clear XC to get his campaign underway.
Eccy jumped a great double clear in the BE100, which was to be our last run
together as she has now been sold down south. I have had great fun producing
her for Kate over the last year and I wish her new owner every success.
This weekend has been a very busy one at
Bishop Burton Horse Trials with five rides over the two days. On Saturday I had
three rides in the BE90 open taking 2nd on Jamie Lee Gascoigne’s
Georgia Rain, 7th on Abbie Boden’s Zafira and 9thy with
Pat Hornby’s Apache Warrior. On Sunday I had Harry Robinson in the Novice, he
added two spooky rails and some XC time faults to his brilliant dressage score
of 28 to finish in 9th place. Miss Brodie had her final run pre
Bramham in the Intermediate and didn’t disappoint picking up 5th
place with just a rail to add to her dressage score and the fastest XC time of
the day.

This weekend Harry will be having a tilt at
Gatcombe qualification in the Novice Regional Final at Belsay and the following
week sees us finally heading to Bramham with Miss Brodie in the CCI***.
