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! 🚚

Officially exhausted myself last week with 7 event horses at Hartpury!😱 
Thank god for my Eco Voltz Electric bike as that saved my legs walking all the courses. 

Cooley Couture owned by Pru Dawes was a WINNER in the 2*L. She pulled out an incredible performance to nab the top spot out of over 90 starters. So proud of this wonderful 7yo, she’s utter class in every way 🤩

Chilli’s Jester owned by Chris and Lisa Stone and Chris and Clare Mathias, was brilliant in the 2*L, sadly one pole down on the last day kept him from a top ten finish, but considering how close we were to losing him last autumn we are just thrilled with how much he loves life. 

Cooley Park Muze owned by the Rex Syndicate and Chilli Morning IV owned by Chris and Lisa Stone, were both brilliant in the Novice Champs to both finish on their dressage scores for 4th and 9th. 
The future of these 4 young horses is beyond exciting! It’s keeping me in the sport! 

Chilli Knight owned by Chris and Lisa Stone was back to his brilliant best in the 4* with a classy double clear and finishing in the money. The best part is that we were back to our best xc, like on rails again - bring on Burghley! 

Chilli King owned by Chris and Lisa Stone and Chris and Clare Mathias was doing his first 4* and my god was I proud of his performance in every phase. 
He gave me the most lovely double clear with a super test but I took him steady xc to give him time to understand the questions. What a future he has. 

Jalapeño in the 4* decided she would much rather be totally in control of me rather than work with me this week!

She’s 16 and my god is she set in her ways! So a few little XC chats between us were required and I tried very hard to explain that I would rather not gallop flat out into a square table with one’s head in the air! 

Anyway that’s what these runs are for and we are looking forward to Blenheim with her! 

Hope you’re not all too bored now, but I need to say a HUGE thank you to Hartpury for the most incredible amount of effort - the courses were serious - up to height and the ground was amazing. So much work went in to producing what it was and it was incredible. 
And an extra special thank you for making my times work! I know that was stressful!!! 🙈

Last but definitely not least, my team…… no words can describe how hard all my girls work, every horse was ready, immaculate and on time for every phase. Also my girls at home who have kept everything else going, even with horses competing at Hickstead as well with some stand in jockeys!!! So much goes into this and I cannot thank you all enough for having my back always. 
Thanks Gaz for driving and being there for me - telling me I can always do it, even when I’m having a wobble! 

It might be me on the horses but it takes a village to get me there. 
So many exciting things to come!! 
❤️
