Delboy and I had another super clinic at the TTT in Guildford with Stephen Clarke. Del has come on so much since we saw him in February and he declared that Del has "Grand Prix stamped all over his forehead!" Woohoo!
Emily and Cathy Howard had a brilliant day out together with their lovely black mare Inka, Emily winning an unaffiliated prelim with 75% and Cathy with 72%!
Emma Thomson and Quinn won her first red rosette at an unaffiliated prelim....time to affiliate me thinks!
She realised was right to affiliate when she won her first affiliated Prelim! Also came third in her first unaffiliated Novice!

I rode Delboy at his 3rd Affiliated competition and he produced his best ever Novice tests and got his best ever %'s of 69.1% and 71.09%!!!
Our British Dressage Novice Open Regionals ticket came through in the post, but sadly we cant go this year as Del had a celebratory buck in the trailer on the way home from his brilliant tests at Checkendon and needs to just walk until the heat has gone from his fetlock joint. Try again next year! Would anyone like to sponsor us so we can upgrade again to a horse box?!?!?!
I am very excited to be back in Horse & Hound after such a long break from competing. Am so lucky to have had lots of name mentions as the trainer but its lovely to be back in as a rider. Thank you Delboy for your Novice win last month that allowed this to happen! Clever boy then went on to win both his Novices at Snowball in May. Happy happy.
Clare Wilson and Loki came second in an unaffiliated Prelim with her best ever dressage score of 68.3%.

At Borde Hill BE100 Under 18's Laura Normand came second on Jack. They were also second at BCA BE100 and Laura was second with Vardigo in the BE100 Open. I then asked for a first place please and Laura obliged by bringing home the winning dressage score of 27 at Longleat International Novice. Unbeatable after her two double clears!

Ellie Lloyd Jones and Lad were on the winning Intermediate team.
