What an exciting week to have three horses at Blenheim! Cruise On Inny and Trendy Captain Clover, both young horses competing in the CIC*** 8/9yo class and Undalgo De Windsor in the CCI***.
Cruise On Inny produced a beautiful test on the first day to score 29 and put him in 9th place overnight! Undalgo De Windsor did a hugely improved test on last year and was more rideable and relaxed. A slightly harsh mark of 43 for him but pleased with how he took to the atmospheric arena. On the second dressage day Trendy Captain Clover produced a great test for 34.3, showing some great work but with so much more to come. Next on to the jumping!
Saturday began with the show jumping for Cruise On Inny and Trendy Captain Clover. Cruise On Inny jumped a perfect clear round to go into 5th place overnight. Trendy Captain Clover also jumped a great round, giving plenty of air time, just having a couple of unlucky poles but at 8 years old he would have taken a lot from jumping in the big, atmospheric arena. It was then XC time for Undalgo De Windsor in the CCI*** who jumped an amazing, bold clear. He was particularly fiesty at the start of the course but very genuine, making the biggest fences feel easy.
Sunday finished off a great week with Cruise On Inny and Trendy Captain Clover both flying around the CIC*** XC with ease! Adding some time faults but two lovely young horses with very exciting futures ahead of them and Cruise On Inny finishing in the top 20! Undalgo De Windsor came out feeling very well after his XC, unfortunately lowering a few poles but still achieving 4* qualification!
A huge thank you to family, owners, sponsors and everyone involved at GHE for making the amazing week and this whole season possible. Looking forward to 2019 being as exciting as this season!
