Amongst the first of the 30 Championships to be decided at this year’s British Dressage Winter Championships, Maria Griffin and D-J secured the Blue Chip Novice Open Winter Championship with a score of 73.45%, almost three percent ahead of the next placed combination in the field of 24 qualified horses.

Owned by Adrian Baker and Kathryn Thorpe, D-J was purchased for Maria at the Equine Elite Auction in Europe as a four-year-old and is now eight, but his progress to Champion hasn’t all been straightforward.
.
Maria explained that D-J had been out of work for two years, following a slip in the yard when he broke his back, saying “He is a very special horse, I am so lucky to have him bought for me and I am so proud to have won this competition, especially as it is sponsored by Blue Chip, which I have fed as it is great for improving condition without fizz.” MORE INFO…

Jo Bates, producer of top show horses, successful dressage rider, trainer and judge, says, “When you’re schooling, it’s important to concentrate like you would in a competition. Take time to get your transitions right and work on free, forward movement, with the poll the highest point. Horses should also be quick off the leg and you should be accurate, as correct circle diameters are essential for success.” MORE INFO…
