Successful pre Badminton Advanced run

It's a great relief to have had a successful run in the Advanced with Wild Lone at Weston Park yesterday, setting him up well for Badminton which starts in just over three weeks time. He did a soft and relaxed dressage test to score 31 and jumped well in the show jumping, rolling one poll around a testing course.  He felt amazing cross country and it was brilliant to have a good run on such excellent going.  

Mandy Gray's Shannondale Santiago had his first Intermediate run with Harry and they produced a very competitive dressage test to score 29.  He jumped a stunning round in the show jumping - he has an amazing technique over a fence - and gave Harry another good ride across country.  He has been very well produced by Sammi Mcleod and is a lovely addition to Harry's string.

Many thanks to the team at Weston who put on a well run event as always.
