We always love a trip to Millstreet in Ireland and this one didn't disappoint.   It was 8 year old Et Hop du Matz's first 3*L and first three day event, and he put in a stering performance to take the WIN. We found him in France at the end of last year and whilst he's definitely still work in progress, he has all the raw ingredients including a super brain...

It was a fantastic week at Millstreet for Harry with three super horses, all digging deep for great results in the 4*L.  Nigella Hall and David & Sophie Bernstein's Tenareze put in a class performance in all three phases to finish a very close second.  He was first to go in the dressage and scored 29 with a lovely test, motored round a tough cross coun...

We had an incredible first trip to Kentucky!  It was a long shot for Harry to get there, still in the midst of his recovery from a horrific fall in October, but, with a huge amount of hard work and determination from him and a brilliant team around him, he made it happen!  

We’ve had a fantastic start to the season after what has been a challenging six months.

It’s great to see Harry finally back on a horse and feeling good. He twice started riding and twice had to back off, but is now on a consistent path and coping well. It’s been a fairly grim and humbling few months for Harry – unfortunately with a head injury a simple ...

Thank you for all the messages about Harry over the past ten weeks, which we’ve both really appreciated. Harry’s been on a slow road to recovery, with the head injury being the main concern. 

Thank you for all your kind messages of support. Harry is home and recovering post surgery. He is still suffering from significant concussion symptoms which are not settling - namely dizziness with the room spinning vertically around him, causing continuous nausea and blurred ...

The first few months of the year are always the busiest, with the horses’ work increasing every week. Once eventing starts, competing days are followed by the welcome relief of an easier stint for those horses, whereas pre-...

Following the end of the 2019 season, the horses have been enjoying their downtime in the field, and their coats and waistlines have grown each week. The horses have holidayed in the idyllic stud fields at Stowell Park, thanks to Lady Vestey, who owns Mosstown Prince. Although it is becoming fashionble to keep horses in work all year round, I think it'...

It's very exciting to welcome Superstition to our team. He's been beautifully produced, initially by Sophie Lane and then her sister Lucy Jackson. Mandy Gray, for whom I have ridden for for seven years, is his proud new owner, but Lucy is still very much part of the journey and has been a great help to me in my efforts to get to know Slinky, and will continue to be ...
