I let all the horses have a break after the spring season while we were doing some jumping and also having a short break ourselves.
7 horses 5 prizes and two just outside the top 10 with steadier xc rounds - not bad for a rusty first run back!
It was amazing to have Chilli Knight and Jalapeño out in the Advanced feeling absolutely incredible in all three phases for 3rd and 4th.
Cooley Park Muze was a WINNER 🥇 and utterly brilliant in his intermediate section and Cooley Couture was beautiful for 🥈 in hers.
Chilli Morning IV went beautifully in his intermediate section for one touch SJ and a steadier XC round.
Star of the day was Chilli King who did his first Advanced. He was so solid in all 3 phases and his XC round was really quite special. This horse reminds me of Arctic Soul, his gallop and jump is just ridiculous, exciting times!
Lastly Chilli’s Jester was 🥈 in his novice section, is feeling really established and now ready to move up.
Thank you to my whole team, it was a long few days but worth it when they all go so well and the jockey remembers what to do!!!

Just when I thought last week was long!
Today my alarm went off at 1.10AM, again Charlotte Overton and April Kitchener were earlier!
5 horses, 4 humans 3 grown up dogs and 7 puppies to Osberton!
The horses all went super around some really tough courses today.
2x 🥈 places, the two 7yos both placed and one super but steady XC round.
These 5 young horses are probably the best I’ve ever had so it’s worth it for them. The rebuild is real!
I cannot thank my whole team enough, serious dedication.
Gary Stevens for driving both ways, we needed that today. 💙💙
Love these horses so much.
8yo Chilli King (📸 pictured) ran in his first Intermediate and finished a super 4th. He is genuinely feeling every bit a serious horse for the future, he’s so exciting but I won’t be rushing him. I’m pretty certain he’s our next 5* superstar in the making!
Then our 3 babies, Chilli Morning IV, Chillis Jester and Cooley Park Muze all finished on their dressage scores in the BE100 for 3rd, 6th and 5th in their sections respectively.
All 3 feeling like they are top class for the future.
We might not have a huge team of horses but the ones we do have in our stables we feel are world class and that is just the way I like it 🧡
