Somerford Park

Mo Cuiske was much more settled in the dressage after his first run back at Aston last week. He did some super work and scored a 27.3.
Watch our test here:

He then jumped a brilliant clear in the show jumping. He flew round the cross country and made it all feel very easy. He picked up a few time faults as he is still not quite fully fit. His 3.6 time cost us a win, but I was thrilled with his performance and his 8th place.

Persimmon did another of his customary lovely dressage tests and scored a 27.7.

Watch our test here:

He also jumped a foot perfect clear in the show jumping and made it feel very easy

Watch our round here:

Persimmon then popped round the cross country really confidently and seemed to love every minute of it. As he has bigger events in mind I didn’t chase him cross country and we picked up a few time faults, which left us in 5th place.

Ceylor LAN did what I thought was his best two star test to date, he felt super and I was really pleased with the progress he was showing. Unfortunately the judges didn’t agree with me. He scored a disappointing 45.6 which left us in 29th place. One judge had us in 4th and the other in 55th, so a
slight difference!
Watch our test here:

He then jumped brilliantly in the show jumping and is feeling more and more balanced and rideable.
Watch our round here:

The CIC** course was tough enough with a few great questions and Ceylor LAN answered them all brilliantly giving me a great ride round the cross country. We picked up 1.6 time faults, but with his two faultless jumping performances he moved right up the order and finished a fantastic 11th out of 105 starters!

Creevagh Cooley also did what I felt was her best test to date and this time the judges agreed! She still has lots of things to work and improve on but I was delighted with how she is coming on. She did some lovely work and scored a brilliant 40.9 which but is second behind Imperial Cavalier not bad for a 6 year old in her first season eventing!
Watch our round here:

She then jumped a keen but great clear in the show jumping. After here Intermediate at Aston she felt like she found it rather small and easy. 

Watch our round here:

She then stormed round the cross country finding it all very easy. She didn’t bat an eyelid at anything and is really starting to feel very professional. Her super round kept us in 2nd which I was over the moon with.

I have applied for Le Lion D’Angers with both Ceylor LAN and Creevagh Cooley so I am now keeping my fingers crossed that our results will be good enough to catch the selectors eye.
