Bonheiden Spring Tour CSI** 2018

We had a great show at Bonheiden Spring Tour with India attending as part of the Step Up To Gold cohort in the CSI** & Atiya also competing in the CSI* with her two horses.

Atiya – still only 13 – kicked off her international career abroad with a victory in her first class with Westwinds Ego! She went on to collect numerous top 10 placings with both horses over the course of the week.

India and Billy Comme Ca were double clear and placed in the opening days 1m30 CSI** competition and then stepped up and jumped some great rounds in the 1m40s. India and Billy Colman also picked up placings in the 7 Year Olds competitions.

Photoshoot with Megan Duffield

The girls were delighted to have been approached by the talented local photographer Megan Duffield for a photoshoot with the horses. I have chosen a selection of the photos to share in the gallery below and as you can see the outcomes were stunning. Meg is an extremely talented photographer capturing beautiful natural images of the girls and their horses (& Nancy!) and also made the shoot itself fun and interesting.

We would all highly recommend using her services!

Here’s what Meg had to say about her experience at Wodehouse Stud with #TeamBUSSEY.

   It was so lovely to once again, meet a family that are true professionals but genuine people with such determination and love for what they do. I was super excited to photograph the Bussey girls and their top class showjumpers as not only are they pretty famous but their horses are stunning!

Ranchwood Latte jumps to victory at Scope Festival

It was the perfect end to a long week at Scope Festival when Atiya Bussey (12 years old) and Ranchwood Latte WON the Mandy Hall Pony 1m15 Championship with a fantastic double clear and a classy jump off round.

Scope Festival 2017

All of the horses and ponies jumped superbly at Scope Festival.

ATIYA did particularly well with WESTWINDS EGO taking 2ND PLACE in the UNDER 16S CHAMPIONSHIP – with Atiya being one of – if not the – youngest in the class at just 12 years of age.

She also WON the Mandy Hall 148 1M15 CHAMPIONSHIP with RANCHWOOD LATTE. (See full report on next post).

India also made good progress with her younger horses with the very green Florida VDL improving all week and finishing with a very good round in the 7 Year Old 1m35 Grand Prix. 8yo 148 pony Keelnacally Quilletto Roebuck also jumped well qualifying for her Foxhunter Final.

National Championships 2017

BSNC at Stoneleigh 2017

 

Atiya was the star of the show at the British Showjumping National Championships this year. At just 12 years old, it was her first time competing at Stoneleigh, however she was unfazed and jumped some superb rounds.

Atiya achieved 3rd place in the Under 14 National Championship and 4th place in the Under 16s National Championship both aboard Westwinds Ego. This was a fantastic outcome for a relatively new partnership around some challenging courses.

Unfortunately, luck wasn’t on her side in the Pony Newcomers Masters picking up an unlucky 4fts on course with Ranchwood Latte, however India and the 8yo Keelnacally Quilletto Robuck did secure a clear round to pick up a minor placing.

India also picked up 6th place in the Senior 1m30 competition with 6yo Billy Colman. This combination went on to come 10th in the National 6 Year Old Championship along with just having an unlucky pole in the Senior Newcomers Masters.

Pyecombe Young Horse Show

Pyecombe Young Horse Show

 

All horses jumped very well for our first time visiting Pyecombe at the Brendon Stud.

Billy Colman (6 years) was on terrific form jumping double clear in the 1m30 on the first day. He then went on to jump triple clear in the Big Star 6 Year Old class to come =1st and pick up his Nationals qualification. This qualified him for the Pyecombe 6 Year Old Grand Prix where he jumped another super double clear to take 2nd in a competitive class.

Atiya & Archie VI also had a good show having a win in the 1m10 class and just 4fts in the 1m20 on the final day with Archie returning to competition after his holiday.

Florida VDL (7 years) jumped double clear Foxhunter (1m20) and stepped up to jumping the 1m30s gaining valuable experience. Billy Comme Ca jumped well in the 1m20s and 1m30s with numerous double clears and also picked up a 4th place.

Keysoe CSI**/YH*

We had a good show at Keysoe International. Both Westwinds Ego and Atiya and Florida VDL and India jumped very well throughout the show. 7yo Florida VDL was contending his first International show and with little experience jumped round the Small Tour Grand Prix with just a fence down on route.

The star of the show once again, however, was the ever consistent Billy Colman who is jointly owned by Wodehouse Stud and William Funnel of the Billy Stud. Colman jumped clear everyday in the CSIYH* 6 Year Old classes and ended the show with a super double clear in the Grand Prix to take home 4th place.

Atiya’s Profile

 

 

 

 

 

Atiya Bussey

Atiya enjoyed an abundance of success in the Children on Horses classes at home and abroad, which gave her the initial taste for international showjumping and representing her country. Placing 4th in the Grand Prix in Wierden and playing a strong part of the team which jumped to second in the Nations Cup in Austria, she was then selected to compete at the European Championships in 2018 where she posted another super double clear in the Nations Cup format.

She is now translating this experience into building up her own string of horses here at Wodehouse Stud, from 4 year olds to Grand Prix level. At now 18 years of age, she has already competed upto 2* Grand Prix level, and has an abundance of notable results under her belt, whilst also having gained valuable experience in the training of young horses working at Breen equestrian. A driven young rider, we are excited as she progresses within the sport!
