Gemma's Story

We’ve been out eventing for 4 out of the last 8 days and it’s been sunny on every single of them. In MARCH! I’ve been more grateful than anyone can imagine but I do feel like we are all going to be punished for it!!! 😬☀️ 
After our fantastic start to the season at Poplar, Chilli King and Cooley Park Muze made the trip to Oasby last Thursday for an Open Intermediate run each. Both went absolutely beautifully with an 8th and 2nd respectively. These two are the real deal no doubt about it. 🫶 what a future. 
Then we headed to Costa Del Tweseldown at the weekend with Jalapeño and Flash Cooley in the Open Intermediate and Chilli’s Jester in the Open Novice.
Jala did a 26 dressage and a super steady double clear, and Flash Cooley smashed it for a 20.9 dressage and added nothing for a fab win🥇 
Jester’s tiny touch of a showjump cost us the win but he was felt amazing and so much more grown up. A very exciting start with all our event horses. 
We are now trucking to Belgium 🇧🇪 for two weeks showjumping with the jumpers - we’ll be back on 🇬🇧 soil in time for Thoresby - don’t worry!

A sunny start to 2025 with the eventers!

Was it all fun?! Definitely not! A 2.00AM alarm clock, dressage in minus temperatures (I think my toes have only just thawed out 🥶 and a VERY long day. 
BUT 4 horses & 4 double clears with one winner made it absolutely worth it. Do I feel knackered today ?! Definitely!! 
Cooley Couture, Flash Cooley and Chilli King were all in the OI and just went for steady double clears while their very out of practice jockey remembered how to ride XC! 
It’s amazing to have little Flash Cooley 👻 - back he feels so good and was his usual gorgeous run self all day🫶🏻 🥰 
The ground and courses were absolutely fantastic. Pretty impressive considering the winter we have had! 
Cooley Park Muse came along for a nice sweetener to start his season in the ON and managed a lovely win finishing on a 23 dressage! Good boy Rex! - Huge thank you to some of his syndicate for the cheerleading 🥳 
Thank you, as always to Charlotte and Gaz all the help. What a ridiculous sport we all love so much! 🤣🙈

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.
