A lovely event with the BE100 Horses. Most special was black beauty 'Tango Blu' winning the BE100Open section. He really deserved this and so does his Owner. Leading from start to finish on a dressage of 24, D/C to finish spot on the optimum time. He is very special to me, a far from easy journey to this point in his career. Time and patience has been worth it, today proving how good he is and how much more he has to give.
The lovely Cornbury House Horse Trials was back after a 20 year break and what an amazing event it was, hopefully a permanent fixture for the the calendar now!
The lovely Tango Blu and Renegade Cruising were both doing their first Novices. This was a big test for both of them - a bold and challenging XC course with a true international feel. Both horses performed pleasing dressage tests with still much more to come. Renegade Cruising just tapped one pole show jumping and followed this with a brave XC clear, growing in confidence the whole way. He will now have a well earned holiday, after a busy few months since the re-start of the season and being his first season eventing!
Tango Blu was the star of the show again, jumping a perfect double clear in his first Novice and finished just outside the top 10 in good company!
CHF Archie who had only stepped up to Intermediate at Wellington, proved what a classy horse he is jumping double clear in the Intermediate section around tough jumping tracks. He will now head to Osberton at Thorseby International for the YH CIC3*S.
