Wellington International
A great final outing for the Blenheim bound boys, 'Trendy Captain Clover' and 'CHF Archie' a fews weeks ago. And an exciting 1st run at Intermediate level for the lovely 'SixMileWater'.
Trendy Captain Clover, had his best posh trotting shoes on in his OI class to score 32.1, sitting in the top few of the lesser board, jumping a perfect clear SJ, one of very few, then a super speedy XC to add nothing to his dressage and finish 2nd. A great final run before he heads to Blenheim for the 4*L.
CHF Archie, having had a great run at Hartpury he came out feeling fit and well at Wellington. A good test for him to score 33, and again sitting in good contention, an unlucky pole for him in the SJ but a perfect and confident Clear inside the time XC to finish 8th. He will now head to the 8/9yo 4*S at Blenheim.
SixMileWater and I seem to be building a great partnership, after 3 very good Novice runs he stepped up a level and showed his class and boldness at Intermediate. A lovely dressage to score 32.1, again sitting in the top few. Adding a couple of poles to this, feeling a little distracted by the crowds but then went on to storm round XC inside the time making it all feel very easy.
