Gemma's Story

Wow what an absolutely crazy time we are having 🤩
Firstly before anything else I want to say thank you to my incredible team. Without doubt, their unbelievable ability to leave no stone unturned together with their absolute dedication to our horses is the key to this run of success. 
A super quick turnaround from Bicton at the beginning of last week to leave for Millstreet with a VERY full truck!

I knew I was going to Ireland with pretty good fire power and horses that were on form but never did I dream of doing a double!

Cooley Park Muze owned by the Rex Syndicate was unbelievable, finishing with a showjump in hand to take the win in the 3*L. 

Chilli’s Jester owned by Chris and Lisa Stone and Chris and Clare Mathias was also brilliant, I just had to take a long route XC due to being a little green at the beginning of the course, but he grew in confidence and finished brilliantly, coming out on the last day and giving every showjump at least a foot to finish 9th. 

Both Rex and Jester are seriously exciting horses for the future.

Flash Cooley owned by Pru Dawes lead the 4*L convincingly from start to finish to take the win, putting to bed the stupid fence we had down that cost us the win 2 years ago! What a horse he is, I absolutely adore him, he always gives his all and is just such a darling little boy. 

Chilli Morning IV (the current 7yr old World Champ) owned by Chris and Lisa Stone was tackling his first 4* S. He was super if a little green in the dressage and showjumping but sadly just didn’t understand the new sunken road on the XC. I did eventually manage to persuade him to pop down it and made a huge fuss of him for doing so, but we got the big E. I’m not bothered he’s a baby and he will learn - he’s so intelligent that next time he will believe me that it’s ok! 

Long drive home! Huge love for Gaz for driving!  😴 
Got home at 7.00AM straight onto Chilli King for a flat work session and then onto Felbridge for second rounds and Grand Prix! 

Both Brendon Stud boys jumped mega but no HOYs tickets that day! 

BUT our amazing Dime Bar owned by the Dime Syndicate only went and WON the Grand Prix - jumping unbelievably and beating some VERY good combinations! Seriously chuffed with that!

We headed home for some sleep 😴and to re pack (again) and we’re now on our way to Bramham!


We did a Millstreet double!

Really great weekend at Bicton. 

Super fun to be back on a GB Nations Cup team! It’s been a while! 

Chilli King owned by Chris and Lisa Stone and Chris and Clare Mathias, made his first appearance for GB, as a very green 10yr old. He’s still very much a work in progress, but he put in a really solid performance as pathfinder for the team.

His XC is unbelievable, so scopey, fast and careful. Very excited about his future. Well done to my super teammates, was fun to have a win! 

Jalapeño re-routed to the 4*S after her rather cheeky run out early on the course at Badminton and proved she’s still up for it, with a super dressage and double clear, I could hardly hold one side of her xc which is a new one!! She by finished a great 7th even with a few time faults with me trying to slow down for the jumps! 

Huge shout out to the team at Bicton, absolutely brilliant event and the ground was unbelievable. Thank you. 

The beautiful Georgie hasn’t been out of my head at all all week, I can’t believe it’s a whole year since she left us.

We’ve had a super quick turn around and we’re already on our way to Ireland. We had less than 24 hours at home… washing done, everything re-packed, event horses jumped, jumpers jumped and back out on the road! 

Big shout out to our amazing Charlotte Overton who has worked her absolute butt off in the last few days getting organised, grooming, re-packing, cleaning out the lorry etc etc etc. all on her birthday today too! Happy birthday you absolute legend  

Back on a GB Nations Cup Team at Bicton

HONG KONG 🇭🇰 genuinely feels like this big puff of the most amazingly cool dream cloud!! ☁️ 

What a week. What a horse. What a team we have. 

We went at 100mph the first few days, seeing as much as we could of the incredible country, it’s like living in the future, we loved every minute of it! 

From cable cars, to the races, to Chinese food in the city, to boat rides, to more cable cars, to Pandas. All shared with the most crazy but brilliant humans!! It was AWESOME! 

Then the competition, well Dime was just unbelievable all 3 days!

Day 1 - was our first 6 bar class out there and we made it to round 4 of 5 with just one tiny mistake, but we still managed a super 4th place finish, in the money and prize giving! 

The second of the two 6 bar classes came and he was simply unbelievable! We  made it through to the 5th round and only went and WON it.

I thought London was maybe a fluke but Dime says no way Mum I’m good at this! I was beyond chuffed and seriously, seriously proud of our boy 🖤

The last and final day was The Puissance 😱 (it really isn’t my favourite!) But I pulled on the big girl pants and again made it to round 4 and finished a creditable 5th, in the prize giving and money again!

What a horse, so consistent and he really did give his absolute all. I’m so unbelievably grateful to him for taking us all to these unreal shows and smashing it!! 

I cannot thank all the people around me enough, physically and at home… it’s been an absolute blast and you were all awesome support! 

So much fun and sooooo much banter! It really was a dream week. 

We headed off to Tweseldown today to XC school 10 horses! Straight back to it 😴

Dime shines in Hong Kong!

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.
