Tempestuous August weather makes for tempestuous eventing!!

Day 2 of another big weekend at Somerford Park International… I’m already thrilled with everyone so far, and the big boys exciting stuff is yet to come!!! The penny his finally dropped with Wilf, and he is well and truly looking for another part of every combination!! 28 double clear in the time for 2nd place!!! Little Joe did get a Novice run after all, and he did a steady 29 double clear for 8th place! Pete has done his usual super dressage in the 2* for one point divide between him & big bro Smokie- and my topper didn’t quite blow off my head!!! Let’s hope we can pull off some more double clears in the big class tomorrow!!! Tiny goes into tomorrow sitting in middle placing, and my two boys are each side of 20th out of 80. All to go for with Showjumping last!!!

    Yard Manager/ Competition Groom

    Jess joined the team as a trainee back in 2020! Apart from a very short stint spreading her wings, she quickly decided that we really were the family she wanted to be a part of!! I hope Jess will be my Jackie Potts, as she treats the whole team as her own family, and keeps the cogs turning smoothly- even during our tough times!!
