Jesse Campbell's Updates June 2015

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 16^th 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***.
