Royal Windsor Horse Show 2013

Posted in: Shows on Tuesday, May 28th, 2013

Royal Windsor is one of my favourite shows of the year. This year I rode Xá in the Ridden Pure and Part bred Lusitano class, big entries and very pleased as he behaved very well and was placed 4th! In the Parade class I rode Viriato, owned by Catherine Smith. The great atmosphere at the show resulted in him being hotter than usual but again did a great show coming 3rd.

Couldn’t have asked for better from either horse. Many thanks to George Dewez for judging and to all the helpers and supporters who make it possible. Lovely to see friends from all over the country who always get together for Windsor!

Woodbridge Horse Show 2013

Posted in: Shows on Tuesday, May 14th, 2013

It was a warm sunny day for Woodbridge unlike previous years! I took 9 year old part bred gelding Xá and 4 year old pure bred stallion Espartaco to the show.

The Parade class was short and Xá managed to pull out a 6th despite not really settling in the class and then won the in-hand part bred class, retaining his title from the previous two years. Espartaco ran up well and behaved beautifully in the pure bred in hand class. So pleased with him for his first show!

The ridden class was mixed pure and part bred and with 21 in the class it was strong competition! I was very pleased when Xá was placed 2nd. Many thanks to all that helped, the shows are always very busy and a great team effort!
