South Of England – Intermediate – 28th September The day didn’t get off to a good start as Liane felt she could have ridden a much better dressage test. The slippery ground conditions didn’t help, as this meant Freddie was slipping quite badly throughout the test causing him to […]
Wellington Intermediate – Monday 25th August On a really wet and miserable bank holiday Monday we travelled to Wellington for our first visit to this lovely venue. We were a little short of time when we arrived so had a slightly shorter […]
Chilham Castle – Friday 1st August 2014 – 1* We had a long drive over to Chilham on the Friday afternoon just to do the dressage phase. With plenty of time on our hands Freddie warmed up nicely and went into the arena in a nice positive but relaxed mind […]
Wilton – Sunday 27th July 2014 – BE Intermediate – 2nd After the long drive down to Wilton, Freddie started the day nicely in the dressage by staying calm throughout his test with the beautiful backdrop of Wilton House behind us. He got marked down slightly on some of […]

Eridge – Saturday 28th June 2014 Freddie went really nicely in the dressage and felt like he was relaxed and submissive through the Intermediate test. He scored a modest 36.4 but Liane was still very pleased with his performance. The showjumping ring at Eridge is surrounded by lots of stands […]
BCA – Saturday 14th June 2014 We didn’t have a great start to the day in the dressage, where Freddie got uptight and distracted by other horses during his test. It was far from our best, but even so was very harshly marked. The Show Jumping went much better, with […]
Tweseldown – 8th June 2014 Freddie competed in the Intermediate Novice Class, where the dressage and show jumping are of a higher standard than in a normal Novice. His Dressage test went nicely and flowed throughout with some good walk and canter work, but improvements to be made in trot. […]
