Gemma's Story

Genuinely cannot believe that we are 7yr old WORLD CHAMPIONS! 🌶️🧡🏆

Thank you so much Quattro 🫶🧡 for trying so hard all week, and especially in the showjumping, leaving all the poles up! 

What a feeling! Mondial du Lion really do put on a fantastic show and make it feel like a proper world championship. 

I could not be more chuffed and thank god I’ve remembered how to win. Pretty awesome way to finish the season! 

I cannot thank Chris and Lisa enough for all their support, I’ve been riding for them for 18 years and these sort of weekends are what we work so so hard for. 
Thank you my whole team, this win is for you!

Chilli Morning takes the 7yr old World Champion Title at Mondial du Lion!

In the grand scheme things, it’s not a huge deal, but to me, last week was rubbish and I’m still pretty gutted about it.

As professionals, we work tirelessly to get to compete at these big events and we had been aiming Jalapeño at Blenheim all year. We left no stone unturned in her prep and did everything we could to make sure she absolutely peaked at the right time, (which we think she did), we just didn’t pull it off 🏇🏿

After a superb dressage test, (it was just so lovely to ride), we had everything to play for and she was utterly brilliant around the xc all the way to the 2nd last fence that is.

We were 4 ish seconds up on the clock so I took my time to set up and she jumped in really well, I took another pull to say careful and to make sure she looked at the fence but she slightly misunderstood me and just ended up not quite getting to the second part.

Is it the end of the world? Absolutely not, but it’s bitterly disappointing especially as she finished full of running and completed the following day with a clear showjumping which means we would have won by 4 penalties!

I have been coming to Blenheim for years and years and it’s one of my absolute favourites, I’ve been placed in the top ten so many times and it’s always been a massive aim and dream to win, so I’m very cross with myself that I have let this win slip. 

Huge doubts cross your mind…. Am I good enough, am I ever going to get it right?? As someone who has a huge will to win it’s so hard not to. BUT we have to pick ourselves up and train harder and be better, have a good cry and move forward, remind ourselves of perspective in life. (Sorry Gaz I’ve been beyond a grumpy cow bag for 3 days!!) 

Huge well done to Tim Price, utter class as always (must be more like Tim!!) and also to Daisy Berkeley for her fantastic 2nd 🥈 what an absolute star and so good to see you back at the very top!

Chilli King also competed in the 8/9yo although on paper it wasn’t perfect, he was a very good boy and tried very hard, and the feeling he gives me XC is unbelievable. He’s waiting for the big time stuff!! 
How smart does he look in his new Orange Horse Consultants bridle and breastplate?? 🧡🧡
Thank you so much to my owners for being so supportive and encouraging. 
Also to my incredible support team for putting up with me. 
➡️ Onto some jumping in Holland this week with an amazing bunch of stallions. I’m looking forward to a change of scenery! 🚚

Blenheim Palace 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 🥇 
Then Chilli’s 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 👀
Last but definitely not least was Chris and Lisa Stone’s 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 “pony club” event next month!! 
We could have been right up there with the leaders but I chose to keep it steady (much to Alfie’s disappointment!) and wait to unleash him in a few weeks time. 
5 horses 5 double clears and 5 brilliant XC rounds, feel like I’ve 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 country☀️
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 🤪

The principal technical characteristic that distinguishes these boots from the others is the adaptability: they perfectly and immediately settle and model at the foot and at the leg of the rider. A particular attention directs to the choice of the material of working: some kinds of hides tan only for our production. All parts of “FABBRI boots” are absolutely natural; these are not plastic or synthetic materials that could cause a weariness with an enduring use. We produce a high level of hygiene and freshness, representing a style, class and elegance.
