Blue Chip Feed | Horse Supplements & Horse Feed Balancers

All the horses like Blue Chip Pro, even the fussy ones. They are all looking in really good condition, especially my old top horse, who does struggle to keep weight on; he is also recovering much quicker after competing. So a very happy thank you.

.

We started our season off at Twesldown and I took my top horse Weinknoig in the open iintermediate and my girlfriend Kathryn took her top horse Let it Bee in the open intermediate. Both of the horses did good dressage tests, and only one down show jumping and both clear cross country so we were both happy for the first run of the season.

.

I took my new mare Coco Ocean in the novice at Somerly Park and she was very good and finished 12th. Kathryn was also competing her 5 year old mare Daisy’s Diamante in the pre novice and finished 6th. MORE INFO…

Weston Park Horse Trials

Joeys first Novice and my first Novice with Bones. They both jumped doubleclears and Joey did a particularly smart dressage being given a score of 26! Joey was placed 6th in a competitive section. (1st Matthew Heath, 2nd Oliver Townend, 3rd Posy de Walden, 4th Mark Kyle, 5th Lucy Wiegersma).

Stafford HT

Last weekend in the BE100 plus; both Joey and Bones jumped double clears. They ended up being placed 4th and 9th.

.

Swalcliffe Park HT

Joey jumped double clear and was placed 4th.

Bones rolled a pole in the SJ, and jumped clear XC.

We’ve had a mixed season this year and more challenges. Holly and I moved up to Advanced, we’ve had a few teething problems in the XC. It was a real shame at Belton that I jumped the wrong jump as we would have only had the 20 penalties for the first refusal and some time penalties, she went so well I think we would have been placed in the AU25. As you know I had a lesson with Sarah Hunt a few months ago and she gave me some great tips.

.

The snow has been challenging – as much as I like it it’s a little inconvenient when you have horses! I hope it doesn’t come back too soon as it does limited the riding I can do – oh to have an indoor school!

.

I went to the South East Eventers Ball a couple of weeks ago where we picked up 2nd in the Leading Mare and 6th in the Leading Owner Rider.

Congratulations Nicola!!

Joey Eighteen Carrots was third at Somerford Park Horse Trials in the OPN
Then he was 1st at Hutton in The Forest at the beginning of September
He will be next competing at Kelsall Hill Horse Trials this weekend-No pressure!!

.

I am afraid to say I have recently sold (Ben) Tilston Tic Toc to an up and coming Junior to compete at Novice and I wish them both every success and hope they have loads of fun because that is Ben’s middle name-I miss him like loads as he used to race me home up the drive along the fence! Such a character…..

Hope all well with you

Hope your well,

Just another quick email, Temperament came 19th in the CIC** at Barbury International Event, he was a complete star a perfect double clear, I think the top 15 were professional riders!!! Off to Hartpury next for the CIC** in August.

.

As part of my continued training with the European CCI** team I have been invited to do a dressage and jumping display at Blenheim Horse trials, should be fun!
