It has been great the be back out competing, which started with a couple of BS shows and some great results of horses being on great form, and then two super BE events at Tweseldown and Aston le walls, then Swalcliffe unaffiliated.

Tweseldown - Day 1 - 
This time with Suzanne Doggettvery fresh HALLTOWN HARLEY. A lovely test for 30.9 but he felt the need to go so fast SJ he had a rare fence down, then zoomed around the XC, with me telling him to slow down and Harley saying I was wrong. 1.6 time faults to finish a respectable 12th. Molly Fisher, Lucy Fleming and Nicky Cooper UPPERCOURT COOLEY a lovely 26 dressage and a faultless double clear inside the time to finish 3rd!! Only out 3rd event today so a great confidence run!!
 
A huge thank you to Tweseldown and all the BE volunteers for holding and running the event and of course to my owner’s, sponsors and grooms! Chloe Howson having the boys looking beautiful and Anya Thursby helping my amazing girl Sara Bech Eventing with a lovely clear in the OI!!
 
Tweseldown - Day 2 - 
The Future Partnerships HEADLEYS COSMIC TWIST takes the win on a 29.8 and not to be outdone, stable mate HOMERUS owned by Nicky Cooper Susy watts takes a close 5th with 31.2!!
 

The second Event of the season was Aston le Walls.

Another lovely day out at Molly Fisher and Lucy Flemings COOLEY LEGALAND, a super test to score 30, one pole rolled and an easy clear in time. Sadly his pole sropped him out the top 10, but a great result for his first run of 2020! Molly, Lucy and Nicky Cooper
UPPERCOURT COOLEY dances his was to 26.8 and a foot perfect double clear in time for 6th place. Just 0.4 off 3rd place, so a hot class!!
 
Next stop, the young ones at Swalcliffe UA. 
Homerus, scored a super 22 dressage and a double clear to take the win, Headleys Cosmic Twist scored 25 and double clear to finish 4th, and new ride for the season, Knockenroe Spirit owned by Jasmine Raven, scored 28 and another double clear to finish in 6th.
The event was beautifully run by Horse events, a huge thanks again to all those involed.
 

A couple of good results BS - Chard -

Great day and my first time at Chard.
HALLTOWN HARLEY skipped around the 1.10m to take an easy win, followed by stable mate UPPERCOURT COOLEY in 2nd. WII LIMBO had his first BS outing since 2019 jumping a lovely and steady double clear! UPPERCOURT COOLEY then went one better to win the Foxhunter!! Great but long day out! Well done to Sara Bech for 2 super rounds on Dicte!!

Next was Rectory Farm -  

Sara Bech finished 3rd in the Discovery on Natalie Royals BILLY CLARENZA. Nicky Cooper STELLOR COMMET - his first show with me and his first in a year, finished 2nd in the 1.05m and 2nd in the Newcombers. Susy Watts HOMERUS rolled a pole in both the 1.05 and Newcombers as did WII LIMBO in the Newcombers and 1.15m.
