Royal International Horse Show - the highs and lows

This week really showed the highs and lows of competing.

Anya’s best friend and most trusted partner in the ring, Mini, sadly developed mastitis so was unable to compete. The vet said there was no cause, we were just unlucky but she is thankfully on the road to recovery🤞

We were obviously heartbroken but Anya still wanted to watch the class to support her friends, and got to walk the course too as its all good experience for next time💗Anya is even more determined to compete in the famous Hickstead arena next year!🤩

Casper qualified for the 122cm Show Hunter Championship and Pav qualified for the 133cm WHP class.
Anya rode Casper beautifully and loved doing her gallop up the hill! At just 8 years old and the youngest in the class Anya rode beyond her years to finish 3rd in a very strong class, we were thrilled! 🌟

Sadly for Pav, he tripped on the corner and Anya lost her reins so had to circle. But she dug deep and finished the tough track which had an open ditch, a solid wall and a HUGE bullfinch! 🙈 It was a big achievement to finish the course!

It was great to have a catch up with some of Anya’s sponsors too, Supreme Products, Devoucoux, Lauryn Samra Photography and Coldstream Equestrian. It was lovely to meet some of Anya’s supporters on the Coldstream stand too, thank you for supporting our journey🥰

The week didn’t stop here! We then travelled to Wales for 4 days of showjumping, before heading back to Hickstead for Pav to do the Nursery Stakes WHP – we must be mad!! 😂 The trip back was all made worth it when Pav finished 4th after jumping a super round. He really is perfect Pav! 🫶
