We had a great start to 2025 season at the Eastwood Motor Group Wairarapa Champs.
Irish coffee has stepped up to Medium tour, still a little green but really pleased with his progress. We managed a 2nd in the Musical and 1st in the Inter B to come home with Champion Medium tour level.
A new horse to our team we are super excited about is Papanui Just Dynamite. He was beautifully trained and owned by Penny Pearce so I feel very honoured to have the ride. We didn’t know what to expect as it was our first show and only 6 weeks of owning him, but he felt really good in the ring and won all three of his tests scores up to 70% in the Advanced level.
Salsa S is also new face to our team this season. She is owned by Belinda Stuchbery and I previously rode Salsa S mother (Jaybee Jazzmin) for the Stuchbery’s aswell. She competed in the Novice level winning the musical on 72% and coming home with Reserve Champion.
Thank you to all my owners who continue to support me and our whole team. Thank you to all the amazing people that helped on show day as we had 5 horses competing between myself, Rachel (stepped up to Advanced Medium woohoo 🥳) and James in the GP.
Last but definitely not least MASSIVE thank you to my amazing sponsors
The major sponsor of the show and myself, so lucky to have the D-Max
My super comfy and super close contact saddles, could not do without. Plus my new helmet which super helpful on a hot sunny day.
My newest sponsor, can’t wait for my new Cavallo boots!
The stockist of the Activomed rugs and Equiband systems we use everyday to help the horse preform on top form.
