Latest News: August 2008

August was a successful month for all the horses, Unimo started off by winning a 1.10m class at Gracelands on the 3rd, and also got placed at Bicton in Devon a few days later. Charlotte and Hottie won and came 2nd in a class n the first day of Bicton, and then the reins were handed over to younger sister Annabel, who also came 2nd in a class. Charlotte and Whisper jumped clears every day, qualfiying for the Young Horse Championship. Whisper jumped another clear in the 5 year old section of the final but missed out on contesting the jumpoff due to time faults.

The Scope/BSJA Festival was the next outing, proving equally successful. Hottie and Charlotte came 3rd out of well over 100 in the 1.15m Prelim round on the first day, while Whisper jumped double clear and placed (43rd and 4th in the rwo prelims) every day in the Katherine James 1m Novice, finishing 8th in the final in the main indoor arena. We were very impressed with how she coped with the atmosphere, as the final was the last class with quite a few people watching.

Hottie and Whisper are now resting in the field for most of September, whilst the other two geldings, Uno and Alfie, have been bought back into work and will be starting to compete again soon.
