Wow, what a cracking weekend was had at Eridge Horse Trials, Country Market & Dog Show. It started off with Dantastics owner Claire providing a full on fry up (including black and white pudding!) on the lorry before Helen and Tigger took on the 90. Tigger pulled a very nice dressage test out of the bag, … More Does my helmet look weird in this?…Eridge BE Report
Had a fab day out at Brightling park this weekend. Once again, there is alot to like, but lots to work on! Tigger pulled a fab dressage test out of the bag for Helen, and then jumped beautifully round the show jumping (with one completely unnecessary pole off a short stride). Then it was cross … More Never listen to a beast…Brightling BE Report
So, in our bid for worldwide domination, we thought we would head a little further west and check out Farley Hall. Now…. as I hate being late, we left bright and early (too early as it turned out), we had a lovely drive, with Toby and Charlotte producing some rather delectable bacon rolls to keep … More One Cantankerous Creature…Farley Hall BE Report
So a bloody scorcher of a day at Rackham Cross Country Course yesterday, but what a fab day! So… BE90 first! Brian tried his heart out and gave a lovely dressage test and a brilliant round of show jumping (but he eats show jumps for breakfast, the Beast holds nothing over him). But sadly he just didn’t … More When Gods walk among us…Rackham BE Report
Ok, so the beast has still not been completely tamed, but we definitely gave it something to think about! Helen and Tigger were up first in the 85, and turned out a lovely clear round, then she was in to the British Novice, which was much more powerful and purposeful than their previous rounds, with Tigger … More A little bit of BS at Brendons…either interpretation of BS is fine by me.
So after smashing our show jumping demons at Pyecombe on Wednesday, my and Dantastic were keen to get on to Borde Hill. Brian stayed at home as I didn’t want to push him too hard, and Yvie of Team Jeanne was given the honour of riding Tigger for Helen (to give the ungrateful little sod a little more of … More When the beast strikes back…Borde Hill Report
What a weekend at Chilham Castle! There have been highs and there have been lows, and there have been some very early mornings! But it is always worth it to compete at such a lovely venue. We started on Saturday with Brian and Tigger. Both of whom are just getting stronger and stronger in the … More Taming the Beast…Chilham BE Report
So, Friday saw us making the trip to Horse Heath for Brian, Tigger & Dan’s first stay-away event of the year. And what a lovely friendly venue it is, with the poshest toilets ever seen at any event! We will definitely be returning in the future. Now, it was not the most successful day on … More Ups and Downs…
Any equestrian will know and understand the struggle of the seemingly endless slog that is winter. If the diabolical weather, knee deep mud and constant darkness doesn’t make you want to cry, your suddenly-colossal feed bills certainly will. As eventers, we have another slap in the face to deal with during these already trying months – … More ‘Tis the Season…Munstead Report
Representing your country at the Olympics would be the pinnacle of many athletes careers; but not for Zimbabwean event rider Camilla Kruger, who is only just getting started. With her sights set firmly on the World Equestrian Games 2018 in North Carolina (USA), and the Tokyo Olympics 2020, she will not have much time to … More XC Training with Camilla Kruger
