⭐️Great finish to Arena UK Championships with the horses qualifying for 12 Finals between them!
Some didn’t do the finals as they’d jumped enough, it was nice to pick up some more clears or generally finish them on a good note❤️
🏅Picture of Lou (Balou Star x Zilando) keeping a clean sheet and top 5 placing!
🏅And Angus (Argento x Billy Congo) jumping clear in the Newcomer Grand Prix for just outside the top 10!
Thank you to everyone whos supported, there can be a lot of ups and downs with horses so having a nice string that went well is not taken for granted!❤️

Eeeeeeeeeekkkkkkk!!!!!!
How awesome does, VERO rider, Harriet Locke, look in our 🧡BRAND NEW🧡 Team Fleece?!

Sporting the iconic full VERO logo on the back as well as the smaller logo on the front, this fleece is smart, warm, and light enough for the autumn months!
In our signature colours; it is classy, stands out from the crowd and gives a nod to the white stitching of our bridles by having the same white-stitch subtle detailing!

6yo Angus (Argento x Billy Congo) at the Nationals🥰
Delighted he jumped clear in the Novice Championships, and just had one down in the jump off when going for a quick time to finish top 15⭐️
Also jumped the Discovery Final but we picked up faults through the combination, otherwise a good round and experience!🦄
Thank you to his owners Sam and Pete for the support and lovely hospitality!! And to my mum and Chez for all their help☺️

Good couple of outings last week!
🏡We took 2 horses to Davenport’s Training Show

Great to have new ride Bertie there for eight faults in one class and a good double clear 4th in the other, he’s a lovely type!
Ozzy picked up another British Novice double clear feeling really nice!
Minnie stepped back up to Newcomers for just an unlucky pole it’s great to have her back

🦷Big thanks to Sally Ann Kingsley at Open Wide Dentistry for her visit keeping the horses feeling great in their mouths! End of session hugs🥰

Had a lovely evening last night at the Bolesworth Elite Auction👏

A round up from Bury Farm
🐴5yo Osorno Obolenskey was at his first stay away show and he took it all in his stride finishing with a lovely double clear and 4th in the British Novice!
🐴6yo Willows R’Gent was originally going for the second rounds but having already qualified he just had two sweetener rounds, in the Discovery he was double clear to win!! And double clear 5th in the Newcomers so consistent
🐴The Piano Man jumped 3 classes he was a star for fastest time with a fence then two double clears 5th and 6th
🐴Finally the exciting news for us was that we had Minnie back!!🥰
She had been a fantastic horse for me but sadly due to a small injury she has been on the sidelines. We have been carefully bringing her back we just jumped the one class, and we both loved it she was double clear!

02/06/2024

Set up at Bury Farm🐴
We headed down for a multi day show with 4 horses and came back with some great placings and wins!🏆
Got some exciting news to share in the next post but in brief they all had nothing worse than the odd pole and all 4 jumping double clear on the last day to finish🥰

As always I’m grateful to ride a lovely string of horses and for them to be staying very consistent recently, the work and preparation paying off. Thanks to the best people around me that make these shows happen!

Willows R’Gent does it again and qualifies in another class for the National Finals!!🏅⭐️🥰
We took just him to Speetley for the Discovery Regional, he was so consistent to go all three rounds jumping a brilliant triple clear to qualify!!

Thank you very much to his owners Sam and Pete for the support, and to my mum and Chez for all your help!
