My Journey- the road to 5*.

Super Day for Jazz at Aston Le Walls for her first taste of arena eventing.

As always, Aston build a super course, inviting yet has the occasional question which is brilliant for a young horse like Jazz. 

On the way over I used the great "Cross Country" App to check out the course and understand it before I quickly go for a walk around. Honestly it is a game changer & to be able to discuss in the lorry my potential approaches with Mum is really beneficial. I have also used it to stalk other events at venues to see what the fences are like before entering- it really is a great tool!

I won't say it was a perfect round as I know before starting that the narrow arrow head 3 strides out of water may hold trouble- and it did for many other competitors. On second attempt we smashed it and continued to finish the round both a happy horse and rider- narrow brush arrow heads are on the winter 2024 plan!

For now, Jazz will have a holiday and come back early 2025, having thought about her 2024 and hopefully grow a little more. 

Bred at The Fairlight Stud by Jo Sholl Evans & Martin Parry.
Owned by April King & Nicola King.

Jazz is a lovely mare to have on the yard and certainly loves her work; her winter break 24/25 has proven that to us and has lots planned for 2025. 

Taken time to grow and gain strength as a 5yo, we are super excited to see what she gets up to as a 6yo and beyond!
