Somerley Park


Love this event – Holly and I came 7th in our first CIC** here in 2010.

Downgraded this year to Novice being our first event back. Had the long drive up to Hampshire but definitely worth the travel. Holly was so relaxed in her test scoring a 29 maybe all that dressage practise has paid off! The show jumping warm up was a nightmare they were running late and had to wait 45 minutes to jump, the ground was quite soft and sticky which Holly hates. Just managed to jump a few a went straight in to jump a clear round. Warming up with royalty is always cool and when they fall off it is good to see it happens to us all! 

I have to say I was a little nervous going XC and rode like a idiot at the beginning after having a little chat to myself we kicked on and jumped a super clear. Had 6 time faults probably for being too slow at the beginning but got home safe which is the main thing, we came 6th with 35. Very happy! Had a few coffees before we hit the road back home!
