What a great time Dodson & Horrell Chatsworth International Horse Trials - still one of my favourite events!
'Trendy Captain Clover' 9yo Owned by Antonia Kaye and Milly Kaye. Was competing in his 2nd CCI4*S. A lovely accurate test from him with some exuberant changes, plenty more to come from him but some really lovely bits. He then jumped a pretty perfect clear in the SJ, one of very few around a problematic SJ course. Going into the XC, knowing it was by far his biggest most technical track to date... but you would never have known. He stormed round adding only time faults to his score to finish in the top 25. He felt like a total pro and jumped amazing! He really his the coolest 16hh(just) pocket rocket!
'Undalgo De Windsor' did a super chilled and rideable test, really getting to grips with this posh trotting. Some really smart parts in his test as reflected in his marks but also plenty of of room for improvement such as his pirouettes and changes. He's come such a long way and when everything comes together its going to be epic! Then getting slightly tense in the SJ and the bell had gone before I could settle him with the atmosphere and crowd so a couple of poles to add. Then the most brilliant clear XC, once again making it feel like a BE100. He was so straight, accurate and answered every question. Adding only time to his score to make a considerable rise in the placings. He will now head to Bramham International Horse Trials CCI4*L.
