A big thank you to everyone who made the 2014 event season possible...
Now the event season has come to an end it is time to say a big thank you to Ginny's fantastic Owners and Sponsors, as with out them it would not be possible for Ginny to do what she is doing!
With the long term support from The Juniper Co. the website remains up to date with the latest news and results, info on all the new horses in competition and horses in to be sold.
It was Karcher UK's 3rd year of sponsorship and they have been fantastic and really helped Ginny over the last few years, to which she is very grateful for. Sadly it is the end of the contract with them but Ginny very much hopes to still be involved with them at Blenheim Palace Horse Trials in the future.
Peter Haines Engineers have kept the truck in top condition for the many many miles that have been covered this season. They have catered to every mechanical need!
Chatcombe Saddlery have also been brilliant , making sure the saddles are in top condition and always have the perfect fit, keeping the horses in total comfort.
It a rather tough time at first loosing the gorgeous Gamblers Image after Bramham CCI***. He was owned by Lady Rosie Dent and Iona Dent. It was a tough time for everyone at the yard and the support of owners and sponsors was fantastic. Zaffy is deeply missed but here in spirit.
Louise Weir now owns two of Ginny's top horses Shannondale Sparky and more recently buying Greenlough Dave. Two Exciting horses for the future, both having had a great season. Sparky ever reliable and almost always in the prizes, completing his first CCI* and notching up a 2nd at Farley Hall Intermediate Novice to name just a couple of his achievements.
Harry has also proved himself with a 3rd at Solihull novice and then a fantastic win at Little Downham. With some intense dressage training for him over the winter, it will be exciting to see what he can do next year.
New owners for this season- Josie Brettel and Jan Cottam, owning the beautiful Imperato and Worldly Wise.
Imperato really is just as described by Josie, producer of him to ***/Advanced. While she takes some time out Ginny has been lucky enough to have the ride. They had some great runs and placings at the end of the season including a 3rd at Wellington and 5th at South of England and Somerford in Intermediate classes. He then gave Ginny a fantastic ride round the Advanced at Little Downham and she is really looking forward to next season with him.
Worldly Wise also had some good results including a 2nd, and a fantastic 2 novice runs. But now sadly for sale, but she is ready to give someone else experience and fun eventing.
Owners of Watch Me - Gill and Lisa Partridge have been great supporters. With their little mare in her first season eventing she has grown from strength to strength. Really loving her parties and getting some great results including a win, a 2nd and a great placing and double clear at Novice. Sadly she too is for sale.
It was also the first season for Rachael Sheppard's EyesNoseBest, a cheeky and often quirky mare but has shown so much promise for next year. Somewhat learning the ropes this season and her results have shown this. She completed her first two novices with a double clear but then lost her way a little towards the end of the season. After a winter of hunting and more training she will have much more mileage on the clock ready for 2015.
A massive thank you to all the BE volunteers, whom without, the event circuit just would not run!
Recording memorable moments at many events the photographers, the endless people who kindly tag on facebook and twitter. It really is very much appreciated. So thank you, and already looking forward to the photographic moments of 2015!
Last but not least, the team at home, far too many to mention but you all know who you are. You have kept everything running smoothly whilst Ginny has been away from one event to the next and the horses in top condition and fitness. There are so many people that without your support, the season would not have been possible,
so THANK YOU!!
