Next stop was the junior and young rider european championships in marrsbagen holland.
I was lucky enough again to be working with lelia paske and georgia bartlett as well as the best support team,spike,emma,fay and shelbo.
Both girls did lovely dressage tests and the team were up in the top 3 going into xc. Lelia and georgia smashed it around the xc corse to pop them selves in the top ten going in to the last phase.
After a bit of tlc both horses got through trot up and proceeded to the showjumping.Georgia and nono had a lovely clear round and was almost 3rd place only decided by a time fraction and lelia and fee had wings going clear and moving them up to second........Amazing individual silver with both girls score helping the team to a team silver too........yay.
Rock on team GB🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🥈🥈

Wowzers so a busy few weeks had by myself and my next client Phoebe Locke eventing. First of all she competed two horses at houghton in the national u21s championship,both horses did good tests but uni was laying in second place before xc.on sat morning she decidied not to run pic as the ground was hard so redirected him to tattersalls the following week.Uni wemt on to produce a lovely xc round in the time allowed.Trot up easily passed on sun morning and a long wait but well worth it to pull another consistant clear out of the bag for the two of them,then going on o win the class and be crowned national champ and gettjng on the long list for the yr europeans.
Next we travelled to ireland ams Tattersalls International Horse Trials & Country Fair with 4 horses.All of them did good tests and twix just rolled a pole in his last day.unfortunatly pic banged his knee xc and was unabled to trot up but zozo compleated the u25s just rollkng one pole but v promicing for the future in a tough class.benson was the star of the week and ended up finishing 9th in a very competitive cci4*s. Well done phoebe for being so professional and coping with 4 horses at a big comp atbonlh 19.

The next stop was Badminton 5* in Wiltshire for sarah bullimore.
While fighting away the jet lag I managed to take some pictures.
Reve du rouet managed to produce a good test and kept his anxiety monkeys at bay with a respectable 32.8.
He was flying around the xc track only for Sarah to hear she had had a pin at fence 3 so decided to run around to the lake and retire to save him for another day.probably a trip to Germany!

So it all wrapped up in the USA when we got to Kentucky!
We had another great week competing at the fork(tryon)with placings across the board in all sections and international classes.
The week after we got back to Florida and went to Ocala international and won the cci2*l with flash cooley and 2nd with cooley quicksilver.
Onwards to Kentucky with deniro z and after a great dressssge test and remaining 6th into xc Niro and liz had an uncharacteristic tip up at fence 3 and thereby ended the American dream.
Luckily both horse and rider were unscathed and got to their feet.
Just gos to show the ups and downs of this crazy sport.

Great teamwork by everyone and looking forward to The fork(tryon)next week.
