This week we should be at Wellington CDI for SCS Lumiere KH's first international. Wellington is our favourite event of the year and we are gutted to miss it. Unfortunately because of high entry numbers the Inter 1 will be on Sunday rather than Saturday as scheduled, which sadly for us this isn't possible as it is my granddaughters christening. The team at Wellington have been fantastic trying to accommodate us but sadly it isn't possible to do both. We are delighted to share that we have received the news that we have been selected for Hartpury CDI 🇬🇧 in July, one day we might make it to our first international!

We utilised a few unexpected days at home for Lily to take SCS Orlando From Second Life to Solihull to finish some of their Area Festival qualifications. They have now qualified Elementary straight and music and Medium music. All they need now is one sheet to finish their Medium qualification 🤞🏼.

We are back home from a busy week at the Winter Dressage Championships and the boys have enjoyed a well earned day off in the field ☀️.

Between us we competed in 4 classes and achieved 3 top 10 placings.

Thursday started off with the PSG Gold Freestyle where SCS Lumiere KH placed 6th after a great test dancing to his new music put together last week by Equivisions🙈.
Friday was a very busy day with both Lily and I going down the centreline at exactly the same time, 15.25! Lenny was in the Inter 1 Gold and produced some great work in his test but forgot how to count in the 2’s placing us outside of the top 10. Lily and SCS Orlando From Second Life were in the Petplan Novice Silver where they produced a great test but completely split the judges with one judge having them to win the class with 72%+ and another judging having them 30th which overall placed them 9th.
Saturday was the Inter 1 Gold Freestyle where Lenny produced another fabulous test placing him 8th in some very hot competition.

We are over the moon with how they both behaved, took it all in and performed for the duration of the show. Thank you to Kate Rowland for helping with Lenny on Friday, Lewis Dodd-Armstrong for helping Lily, Beccy King for your help manning the tradestand and everyone else who has helped in the chaos this week!

The future for both horses is very exciting and we couldn’t do it without the help and support of our team, thank you to everyone who helps us get down the centre line! 🧡🧡

A busy few days away at Myerscough for the High Profile with Lenny and Orlando.

Lenny went very well in his PSG and Inter 1 placing 2nd 🥈 in both his classes, great preparation for the Winter Champs in two weeks time. We are still chasing this pesky international score!

Orlando went to this show to gain experience and mileage having only just taken the step up to Medium. Whilst there were costly green mistakes, he received lots of great marks and he is definitely a “star for the future”. He placed in the top 10 in each of his classes and finished the show on a high taking the win 🥇 in the Elementary.

Thank you to all of our team that help keep the horses looking and feeling great.

Life hack #101 - Draining a waterlogged arena ☔️

Get yourself a Lenny 😂🙈

Over the weekend we ventured to a very wet Vale View Premier League ☔️.

We did 2 PSG's and 2 Inter 1's, finishing on the consistent score of 67% in each class, achieving 4 top 10 placings including a podium finish 🥉, despite a slight counting malfunction in the 3's in the PSG 🙈.

Despite the torrential rain, flooded arenas and a power cut the team at Vale View ran a fantastic show.

As always a huge thank you to the team behind us.
