It's always the best day when we start at the beac It's always the best day when we start at the beach.
Sunday funday! Sunday funday!
Join me and @rachaelfaulkner1 for a perfect day - Join me and @rachaelfaulkner1 for a perfect day - XC day - at Badminton Horse Trials. From walking in at 8am to try and beat the traffic - you need to be earlier than that! To joining a XC course walk with Lucinda Green, shopping, looking at the big handwritten scoreboard, watching Sam Watson do an early morning jump school, watching the first horse go out, seeing Gemma and Chili at the water, Bubby and Cola at the owl hole, Laura and Bling get home safely, and so so much more, right to the end of the day when the dogs and some drunk lads jump in the lake 💦 - it's a spectacular day that you share with 110,000 other people, it's one of the largest sporting event events in the world and it's impossible to describe! #eventing #badminton
You're going to want to rotate your 📱 for this one You're going to want to rotate your 📱 for this one! This was my best ever xc round. She was perfect.  We were 10 seconds under the time. I think we finally figured out how to run and jump, and she wasted no time in the air. Can't wait to do it again at Woodside next weekend! #eventing #xc #morganmare

Between two pairs of ears. When we are not showing Between two pairs of ears. When we are not showing we spend a lot of time in nature, good for the soul, good for fitness and good for the rough ground training. The view from Tolay Regional park the other day was pretty cool.  It feels more like home 🇬🇧 here after all the rains and the long green season we're having. ☔️💚 #eventinghorse
It's Rogee's turn! Better late than never. What ca It's Rogee's turn! Better late than never. What can I say about this boy? He's 18 in a few weeks but you'd never know it. You may wonder why I invest in showing him, and sure, it's a bit of luxury but the truth is that he really enjoys being part of the action. He loves galloping on XC and every time I sit on him I learn something about what it takes to be a good partner. For those that don't know, he had very bad kissing spines and it wasn't something we realized until 2020. We immediately started to work on making him comfortable through surgery, rehab and correct work. His pain journey before that definitely affected his confidence, so it's my job now as his main jockey to be a leader and make good decisions for us. Not always easy as an amateur. But I'm up for it and he always brings me a ribbon home. 5th place in a big open class of 24 and finishing on our dressage score - which was also one of our best ever. So proud of my boy! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ ps. did you know he's a half brother to my girl Quintessa? - they really are siblings 😍 #eventing #areavi #eventinghorse #tbx
What a xc machine she is!! Double clear with 10 se What a xc machine she is!! Double clear with 10 seconds to spare at Training level. She had a couple of questions about the water and the next fence but I answered them confidently and she was all in. Now I need to find that long rein connection so I don't get launched! If you watch carefully after the coffin combination, I was still wiping the water off my face! And it's safe to say she does not give one hoot about a ditch seeing as we casually trotted over that and then out over that big vertical 🤷‍♀️😊 - so happy with a well earned sixth place finish 🙌❤️ #eventinghorse #xc #morganmare
Just like our dressage, we've been making great st Just like our dressage, we've been making great strides to improve our show jumping. Now, if we'd jumped the whole round like this we'd have been in such a great position at the end of the competition. However! As we entered the ring, the heavens opened 🌧️ and the wind 💨 picked up! It was pretty miserable and by fence 3 we had 2 rails and I had to circle to regroup, so we were 12 penalties in. But look how great the rest of the round was! So thrilled with this. I need to continue to work on my release over the fence - but honestly just keeping up with this rocket 🚀 is all I can think about on course! Love her. I will say that pretty much everyone else in our class had a whole slew of problems and because of that we did not even drop down one place after this round ‼️#eventinghorse #jumping #eventing
Our dressage is getting better but a few bobbles h Our dressage is getting better but a few bobbles here and there still work against us. BUT I have never left a test feeling actually happy!! And on Friday I felt so pleased with our effort - so that's progress in itself. 33.3 put us in 8th heading into SJ. #eventing #dressage #morganmare
The best time. The best time.
