Below Fanta and Lulu having another work out at Tockenham Court Equine Fitness and Rehabilitation Centre
Two amazing tests from 2 amazing ponies at Cornbury House Horse Trials today, with both FANTA BOY & FELOUPE sitting in 3rd in their 3* sections!
Fanta scoring 27 and being nothing but consistent Lulu scoring 27.6! Huge thanks to the master that is Ian Woodhead for helping me increase the marks on all horses this season.
With the loss of The Queen in the forefront of our minds we headed off to a subdued Cornbury, where the flags flew at half mast and talk was of the Queen’s passion for horses.
 
What a way to honour that passion with a WIN for FELOUPE in the CCI3*, with FANTA BOY taking 4th in his section!
Then HEADLEYS COSMIC TWIST flew round the Intermediate to take 8th!
Huge thanks to Shauna for her hard work and to owner Nicky Cooper for her support on the day.
 
Back at Cornbury House Horse Trials over the weekend and 3 more super double clears!!
SLIGO JUST TOUCH owned by Molly Fisher & Lucy Fleming finished ?? in the Novice on his 28.3 dressage.
WOZNIAK also owned by Molly & Lucy finished 9th on his 34 dressage.
KOJAK, owned by Molly, Lucy and Sam Wilson, was in the Intermediate and jumped a beautiful but steady double clear to finish just outside the top 10.
So grateful to our owners for their continued support enabling me to compete these wonderful horses week in week out.
 
Another busy week ahead with FANTA BOY & FELOUPE at Blenheim Palace International Horse Trials for the CCI4*L
A huge thank you to all my girls, both at home and at events, who work so hard to keep everything running smoothly and the horses looking so good ??????
 

Blenhiem Horse Trials
 
Lulu was a superstar and produced a score of 31 and temporarily into the lead, with an 8th place overnight.
An amazing test for FELOUPE to start the day. 
A good test from the ?? that is FANTA BOY with a couple of mistakes proving very costly on our overall score.
Lots of galloping and jumping to do today though!! ????????????
 
 
Both horses were amazing at Blenheim Palace International Horse Trials
FANTA BOY was feeling his usual incredible self, with just one slightly awkward jump in the water. Being a little off the pace in the dressage we didn’t push for the time and let him canter home at his own pace.
FELOUPE was phenomenal, she’s only had one run since Bramham but showed her guts and determination to jump round really well just picking up 5 time. Both finished well so a good night sleep and ???? for SJ tomorrow
Huge thanks to my owners and team, my husband @tobygoss and Shauna Carman for cooling the horses off really quickly and to my girls at home keeping the yard running!!
 
Sunday morning at Blenheim was incredibly difficult and a huge thanks goes to Gemma Stevens who stepped in and trotted Lulu up for us. At that point I wasn’t sure if I could face riding, but thanks to the support of the Blenheim team I was allowed to go in early, out of order, so that Lulu could at least finish her event.
It certainly wasn’t easy but she held my hand and into the showjumping we went. She jumped superb but an uncharacteristic 3 down (the last 3 fences unfortunately) around a tough track. A top 20 finish for Lulu and her owners Nicky, Lucy and Suzy.
