  1. Badminton horse trials

    Posted on

    WOW!
     
    Well what a fantastic, if wet, dressage day at Badders!
    The whole day was totally inspiring, (as usual), however to watch your horsey heros doing what us mere mortals do on a weekly basis , albeit at a lower level, seems quite strange. Although we all started the same way, ponies, pony club, falling off (lots!), getting back on etc etc etc.... it does seem quite surreal to watch the "Fox-Pitts", the "Kings", the "Cooks" etc doing it at such a fabulous level and at such a prestigious event. Well folks listen up........ now that the Grassroots level has been born....I WILL BE COMPETING FOR THAT PRESTIGIOUS EVENT TOO!!! (well i hope anyway!) mmmm watch this space.....

  2. Bovington 1DE

    Posted on

    What a big improvement on Larkhills attempt! Bovington was a great day out for all, appart from the 4am start! Eric was much better this time, our scores don't really suggest so, however it was his behaviour that was the best, 42 dressage, he was quite tense again but no where near Larkhills tension, 4 faults showjumping, a great course but Eric just brushes number 4 with his front toe and there went that pole! and 9.8 faults cross country, the course was very winding and had 2 water jumps so with such a long striding horse and very short turns we tried our best but not quite supploe enough i think! Never mind though, he did so well, as did my grooms for the day Jamie and Tara, both who never actually believed that 4am actually existed! Team Kilminster did VERY VERY well...
