What a weekend at Barefoot Retreats Burnham Market International Horse Trials!
We managed to put the struggles of the last few weeks behind us and had some great runs on some very special horses!
First up was Cooley Park Muze owned by the Rex syndicate who had his first intermediate run and lead from start to finish with a super classy performance to take the WIN what a horse for the future đ„
Then Chilliâs Jester owned by Chris and Lisa Stone and Chris and Chris and Clare Mathias, and Cooley Couture owned by Pru Dawes were in the Novice. Both horses gave me such beautiful rides and finished on their good dressage scores for 3rd and 8th - they are such classy young horses.
Chilli King, also owned by Chris and Lisa Stone and Chris and Clare Mathias, was up next in the 3* he produced a super test and finished on it with a beyond classy double clear for 5th out of well over 80 competitors. This horse reminds me of Spike, his gallop is unbelievable, with so much scope and bravery. So exciting đ
Last but definitely not least was Chris and Lisa Stoneâs Chilli Knight who was having a prep run in the 4*. He performed a lovely test and a foot perfect double clear with planned time faults to give him a nice fitness run, keep him in one piece and to keep our eye in ready for that âpony clubâ event next month!!
We could have been right up there with the leaders but I chose to keep it steady (much to Alfieâs disappointment!) and wait to unleash him in a few weeks time.
5 horses 5 double clears and 5 brilliant XC rounds, feel like Iâve retrieved my mojo and am so excited that the rebuild is starting to come good.
Thank you so much to Musketeer Events for putting on a brilliant event and organising such superb weather! It was like being in another countryâïž
Huge thanks as always to all my team and my owners for being so very supportive - even through the rougher bits!
Thank god for some good results đ€Ș

Would you like to join a syndicate with us?
Thank you for coming to read this. Iâm on a little mission again.
The horse I rode in the Hickstead Derby, Envoy Merelsnest Z (Dime Bar) is very sadly for sale.
He is only a 10yo so has plenty more fun years ahead of him. Heâs an absolute sweetheart of a horse, very gentle and kind.
You can find out more about Dime Bar on his profile here:

Weâve struck up such a great relationship together in a very short space of time, and jumped some very big tracks!
The aim would be to compete in as a many big shows and Derbys as we can fit in, which could be such a fun thing for people to be involved in. He would be the sort of horse that could jump in all the big GPs and world ranking classes, plus Derbys and even maybe puissanceâs.
There is plenty to still improve on, and he will be very easy to pick up around our Eventing schedule.
So if any of you or if you know if anyone that could be interested in a share in him then please let me know.
You can contact me directly on:

Thank you.
A rained off Gatcombe resulted in great show at Pyecombe this weekend
The Brendon Stud boys were pretty awesome this weekend! Thank god because Eventing this year seems pretty tricky! đ§ïžđ§ïž
We started the weekend on plan, jumping (and coming 2nd) in the 1.40M Handicap at Pyecombe on the Brendon Stud's lovely stallion Pandito Van't Merelsnest Z (Wifi)
We then set sail to Gatcombe on Saturday morning with Flash Cooley, Chilli King and Ophelie Van Prinseveld for the OI.
We enjoyed our rainy drive down the M4 for 3.5 hours to find out the rain had taken it's toll on the ground and the class had been abandoned.
So sorry to all organisers and everyone involved, itâs so much hard work and also Gatcombe is one of the absolute BEST events. Such a shame. Yet again another event cancelled due to weather!
We then managed to turn around in the gateway and cause utter carnage because I was absolutely not going to get stuck!!
Iâm going jumping!
So, off to Pyecombe we go to jump the 5 Bar Challenge with the Brendon Stud's other lovely stallion, Envoy van't Merelsnest Z (Dime Bar) He was a super star and won the class!
Then yesterday Klent Spot On (Kung Foo) was 3rd on the boss's orders in the Foxhunter and Wifi and Dime jumped unreal in the summer GP for 1st and 2nd. Such good boys.
