Flash Cooley (Casper)
Birth year: 2012
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!!!
We had a face paced show at Pyecombe this weekend, with Warrior Special (Kenya) jumping unbelievably to jump 3 amazing rounds to WIN the newcomers second round and qualify for HOYS, 🥇 that’s ticket no.3! Klent Spot On also unbelievable for such an unlucky touch in the final Jump off.
You can watch the final jump off video below.
Nina and her team really do put on a fantastic show we absolutely love going! I just wish they could run more! 🤩
Dime Bar owned by the Dime Bar Syndicate had two great rounds in the 3* 1.50m World Ranking classes to set him up for this week’s The Hickstead Derby!
We did manage to qualify for the Grand Prix we decided to save his legs and set him up for Hickstead instead. We jumped some seriously big tracks which definitely kept us both on our toes!!
Our amazing Johan-Some (YoYo) owned by Linda Allen really is enjoying his new career! He WON the Eventers’ Grand Prix and then was placed the next day in a 3* 1.40m! What a horse - he is a complete freak of nature and I am absolutely loving being back in his saddle!!
Klent Spot On owned by Shirley Light at the BRENDON STUD is really starting to show just how talented he is with a clear and placing everyday in the 1.30m. He’s really consolidating at this level and it won’t be long before he steps up!
My brand new ride, 7yo Warrior Special owned by Nadia AL - Mutawa, was also absolutely brilliant. We have gelled so quickly! He was also clear everyday and we really went for it in the 7yo Grand Prix final but he just touched the last fence in what was a very fast time! You win some, you lose some! I have no doubts whatsoever that he will be super competitive in the very near future!
I’m so grateful to all my team and my owners and so excited to be building a small but perfectly formed string of “proper” jumpers to go with my world class Event horses!
Busy busy!
Now onto Hickstead! Wish us luck! 🖤
