Dear Susie and Liz, just to say another enormous grateful thank you to you both for giving Sophie and I the opportunity to have the most special wonderful horse in Olls - No Fringe - Be Touchable! We adore him and with Susie’s exceptional support and direction Sophie and Olls have become a wonderful partnership - the joy we have had with Olls is second to none and although Sophie has worked hard to progress with Olls putting the time in at home we can both honestly say if it wasn’t for you both we would be missing this amazing experience. Olls is a superstar - together they just get better and better! We had a lesson with a an eventer called Laura Grice nee Fortune, who has never seen olls and soph before, who took us through our paces at Somerford - she sent Sophie a text afterwards and said " I simply loved every minute today - watching you with Olls was a joy, a truly wonderful special partnership in two youngsters - something I don’t see very often. I wish you every success in the future- I will look out for you both in the eventing world". Sophie and Olls (as you know Susie) went on to win for the second year the BE Jump Training (showjumping) Championships BE100 in addition to the BE90 which we did as we were travelling such a long way. piccie attached. |
Took Jay to a dressage competition yesterday, he loaded great and was really chilled when he was there. We came away with a first and a third. Delighted with him !!!!! Andrea |
Hi Liz Just to update Tango’s record. He has had 3 runs at BE100 this year so far, results 2nd at Eland (beaten by 2 seconds closer to the optimum time !) double clear 3rd at Kelsall ( with a pole down and 1 fault for time) 1st at Bradwall on a score of 19.5 ! double clear We love him to bits , Phili has formed a lovely partnership with him. They have been hunting and did a bit of BD in the Winter. His dressage is very consistent and judges seem to like him a lot. Moving up to Novice BE very soon. Hope there may be a bit about his Bradwall success in H & H this week Regards Jane Williams |
