Back with a bang after a few months off Eventing with an amazing few days at Aston!
Back with a bang after a few months off Eventing with an amazing few days at Aston!

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!!!

A great start to the 2024 eventing season!

Good first run back at Tweseldown with all the gingers 🧡 (even if they were slightly fresh and pretended they had never jumped on grass before! 🤣🤣)
Strangely someone said to me my god all your horses look the same - that could be because I actually had 3 full brothers and a half sister at Tweseldown this weekend!
Chilli Knight, Jalapeno & Chilli King were all having a very steady run in the OI on Saturday - there are some very exciting things in store for them this year!
The lovely Chilli’s Jester then won his 100 section on Sunday! This horse has come back from a very near death experience so it’s just incredible he’s back bouncing and so happy to be out. He’s such a massive talent for the future.
🧡🧡🧡🧡
Also well done to my stable jockey Hannah Lavender for a lovely DC and 4th on Tillingbourne, another ginger! 🤣🙈
A huge thank you and well done has to go to the Tweseldown organising team who had so obviously worked incredibly hard on the ground to give us the best possible footing!

BACK AT BADDERS!!
BACK AT BADDERS!!

Badminton Horse Trials is in fact a complete marathon but it’s absolutely definitely a wonderful one - even in the mud!!

It felt SO good to be back and to get that buzz that only comes with the really big ones!

We finished up a brilliant 6th (and best of the mares!) after just touching the very last fence which was such a shame. Showjumping is not Jala’s strongest phase but she tried so hard yesterday and I was so so proud of her 🥰

It’s been such a journey getting this horse here and it has genuinely taken a village!

I want to thank my own world-class team - Charlotte Overton being by my side on the front line (and in the mud this week!) and my other brilliant girls who hold the fort so beautifully at home when we’re travelling all over the place!

Ed Lyall Jala’s vet, Jim Cooper her farrier and Liz Oakenfold her osteopath - honestly we just couldn’t do it without any of you!!

Thank you to my bonkers but amazing husband - he’s had his work cut out recently picking me up mentally after a few tough moments this spring.

I also want to say a special thank you to the whole team at Badminton - the volunteers, officials, supporters - what an effort everyone put in and what an event they gave us! It’s just the best in the world and everyone rallied in such terrible conditions this year - always with a smile.
Even at the very end of a ridiculously wet week the guys towing us all out in their tractors in the (still) pouring rain were bloody brilliant!

Lastly a HUGE thank you to Chris and Lisa Stone who have believed in me and been so patient with this beautiful horse. I know how much they enjoyed this week and my god do they deserve it.

For now I’m happily exhausted but already planning our next visit 😉
