Super proud of our young horses today in this environment. “Topaz” was first to go in the 4yr old session and took it all in, perhaps a little dazed ! Then “Brogan” stormed round the biggest track he has jumped to date!!!!

First ever show for “Topaz” and first time at this level for “Brogan”. All set now for the Young Event horse classes next week ! Charlotte Bury Photography

Time to train and time to compete. You often have to go back and forth, listening and learning to how your horse is responding to trianing and levels of work. With so many variables the most important thing is to remain open and logical in your training system. With a good balance of analysis and also feeling from the rider to what the horse is telling you.

First top 10 placing for “Brogan”, felt relaxed in the dressage and super confident in the jumping. The XC in particular I got a taste of the Thoroughbred breeding from the his father’s side. Made light work of the Cotswold hills and light on his feet across the country.

Super Excited to have two entries this year at Badminton Horse Trials in the Young Event Horse classes.

✅ 5yr old “Strait to the Point” aka “Brogan”
✅ 4 yr old “ The Humming Bird” aka “Topaz”

This educational class will showcase their training in a relaxed environment on the Wednesday before the big crowds arrive.

The future looks bright with bumper entries in the Dubarry Burghley Young Event Horse classes at this year's horse trials.

Well after two year hiatus from Eventing it was amazing to be back out again on our wonderful young horse “Brogan”. My time spent in the dressage world has certainly been of benifit with a dressage score of 23.5 (77%). He was green in the showjumping with the undulating ground and low sunlight and stormed round the XC again learning to absorb and read the questions which takes time. What I really am excited about is the green mistakes that we made are easy to correct and showed me the type of performance horse he could be in the future with more time and training.

“Brogan” is all set for the start of his event career next week. We rode him round a Hunter Trial to experience flags, jump judges, cars, whistles & atmosphere. He certainly took it in his stride 🙌🏻

“When trying too hard effects your performance!” After some very positive prep sessions I was not able to translate this to the competition arena. Mindset is so important when you ride horses and even more so when you then ride putting yourself under pressure. Understanding those reasons needs to be my next step and how I can ride without letting that effect the way my horse experiences me. I was clearly trying to hard hard today and put myself under too much pressure. Shanti on the other hand was having fun in the sun… thank you Charlotte for capturing the many highlights!
