Luhmuhlen CCI4*
Luhmuhlen
in Germany was such an incredible event for me where both my horses, Kaapachino
in the CCI4* and Amsterdam in the CIC3*, were just brilliant. It was my first
four star event and it more than surpassed my expectations.
Kaapachino
had been pulled out of Mitsubishi Motors Badminton Horse Trials in May with a
serious bacterial infection, but we got him back on track and he felt
absolutely incredible. He performed one of the best dressage tests of his life,
which put us in sixth place. He then cruised around the cross country course
like a machine, loving every minute of it to finish bang on the optimum time.
It was great to receive a pair of boots, generousy sponsored by Ariat, for
achieving this.
The
showjumping didn’t quite go to plan but Kaapy still tried his hardest and we
finished in a very solid 16th place. I am so lucky to have this
horse and he always gives 110%.
Amsterdam
continues to really impress me. He was stunning across country and then jumped
a beautiful and faultless clear in the showjumping. He has four star written
all over him and we will continue to campaign him very carefully with the
bigger picture in mind.
Thank
you Derriere
I’d like to take this opportunity to
thank Derriere Equestrian for your continued support. Without a doubt Derriere
Equestrian breeches and pants have enhanced my performances. Their fit and
comfort is exceptional. I noticed this especially when I competed four horses
recently at Houghton International. I am a very proud Derriere Equestrian
ambassador and thoroughly recommend Derriere pants and breeches to all riders.
Barbury
Castle International
My next
event is Barbury Castle International which takes place from July 9 – 12.
Cleveland
and Apart VD Hoefslag Z will both run in the CIC** and Amsterdam II in
the CIC***.
