I had Very Special Z doing his second Intermediate and Mo Cuiske doing his first. I had Caeleste in the Novice and Ceylor LAN in the Open Novice.
Mo Cuiske was a superstar in his first Intermediate. He was a real pro and made it all feel easy! He did a lovely test and just showed some loss of balance at the odd moment to score 31.8. He then jumped a super clear round the show jumping and was fantastic round the cross country. He made it feel as easy as a Novice and finished on his dressage score for 4th place.
Very Special Z also did a super test showing lots of expression and scored 30.9. He then jumped a beautiful clear round the show jumping and was great cross country. We had a few time faults as I am still getting to know him and didn’t want to push him cross country. He finished 10th and would have been 2nd had a gone a but quicker.
Caeleste went brilliantly again. She did a very nice test and scored 33. She then jumped a fantastic double clear with 0.4 of a time fault. She made both of the jumping phases feel very easy. She finished equal first with Sarah Bullimore and Mayfair Glory. We did exactly the same time cross country and scored the same mark in the dressage so couldn’t be split!
Ceylor LAN went very well again. He did a very polished test to score 27.5 and showed some lovely work. He then jumped a great clear in the show jumping finding it all a bit small! He then gave me a lovely ride cross country again making it feel easy and all a bit simple! We just went slowly cross country as it was quite firm and he doesn’t need to prove himself at this level having won to Novices already this spring.
