The girls had a fantastic show at Hickstead with all horses jumping in the famous main ring.

Atiya (only 13) & Chesterfield Z jumped fantastic placing everyday and then jumping a very fast double clear in the 1m20 Championship in the main arena for a close 2nd place!

India & Florida VDL jumped in the 1m40s in the main ring, and Billy Coleman qualified for the 7 Year Old Championship where he was unlucky to just have one fence down round a strong 1m35 A10 track, he was also clear in the Talent Seekers 7 Year Old HOYS qualifier.

The girls had a fantastic show in Lier, Azelhof, Belgium for their CSI**/*/YH* show in August.

India and Billy Coleman performed very well in the 7 Year Old classes including a 2nd place finish only beaten by 5* rider Bertram Allen. India also had a fantastic show on 8 year old Florida VDL who was clear 2 out of the 3 days in the 1m40 classes and stepped up very well in their 2nd World Rankings class for one mistake. Atiya also had a good yet slightly unlucky show with Chesterfield Z in the CSI* 1m20 classes.

It is fair to say the girls had a fantastic show in Wierden for their Youth Nations Cup Show 2018. Atiya was 7th in the Children On Horses class on the first day with Chesterfield Z. She was then once again representing Great Britain on the Children On Horses team where she jumped double clear for Team GB in the Nations Cup and jumped double clear to come 4th in the Grand Prix!! She and Chester didn’t touch a fence all week; a clean sheet!

India also had a successful show with her talented 7 year old Billy Colman who jumped fantastically every day in the Juniors 1m35 classes picking up 7th place along the way!

We were delighted when Atiya was selected to represent Great Britain for the first time after a fabulous performance at the European Viewing Trials at Chepstow CSI**.

Atiya jumped two fantastic rounds in the Children On Horses Nations Cup aboard Chesterfield Z to help Team GB secure 2nd place convincingly. Atiya also won the opening Children On Horses class in fine style riding Westwinds Ego.

India also competed in Lamprechtshausen having had the call up to ride individually on her relatively inexperienced 7 year old Goldenboy. The week was a fantastic experience for both of India’s 7 year old horses (Goldenboy & Billy Colman) of whom she has produced herself here at Wodehouse Stud, and she picked up some very good placings in the Juniors (U18) classes.

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.

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.
