Burnham Market

Burnham Market

A good weekend with all three horses doing very nice double clears..............in the sun!

This weekend was also interspersed with celebrations for my 30th Birthday - It was lovely, with no actual competing to do on the Saturday, that we were able to get off site and go to the Beach.

Ballycoog Breaker Boy (4*S) did a good test but we fluffed a change which was costly as they are double points in that test, but the rest of his work was good. He then did a great show jumping round and accurate cross country round which was planned to have some time penalties.

The Partner (4*) did a good test for him and great to have his show jumping back on form following Thoresby and he just felt mega on the cross country track.

Camee de Muze's dressage didn't go according to plan - this was his first stay away and he was a touch over excited. However, he more than made up for it with his excellent jumping both sj and xc.

Also, Well done to Marianna Sawyer, who completed her first 3* with a great XC round.

Next outing at Kelsall with the youngsters and then 7 rides at Cirencester over the following weekend.

A big thank you to Hannah Cole for the fab photos as always.

Caroline, who was based with me in 2022 has given this wonderful interview with Julia Buitenhuis from USA Publication "Practical Horseman".

In the article Caroline (who won a gold medal at the 2023 Pan American Games) stresses that equestrians can achieve balance between their emotions and their goals.

In this day and age, with social license and horse welfare, it really puts across how important it is to love the horses.

A great CCI-S 4* at Barefoot Retreats Burnham Market International

A great CCI-S 4* at Barefoot Retreats Burnham Market International

Classicals Eurostar (Casper) and Class Affair (Socks) made the trip to Norfolk to compete in the CCI-S 4* at the weekend.

Both horses went well in the dressage phase, with scores in the 30s, albeit a slightly disappointing score for Socks, before jumping double clears in the showjumping and cross country phases, finishing with minor time faults in the cross country.

You can see all three phases from both horses in the videos below.
