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.

Vrielink Vans Gravenstafel – Stallion at Stud

VRIELINK VANS GRAVENSTAFEL 

Stan not only is a very powerful and scopey jumper, but he is a complete gentleman as well.

Stan came from the Stephex Stables initially, but due to an injury his competitive career was limited. He jumped successfully with Louise to 1m35 level and always showed a great mentality for the sport always wanting to jump clean, an important quality which is noticed prominently recognised in his offspring thus far. 

Stan is a very correct stamp, with a beautiful liver chestnut colouring, and is a complete gentleman to handle. He was also competed by 13-year-old India in the Children On Horses classes, showing again his ride ability and great nature.

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!

Step Up To Gold Programme

Following a solid performance at the viewing day, India is one of the eight riders selected to be a part of the 2017/18 Step Up To Gold Programme funded by Sport England working with British Showjumping.

The programme has been established to aid riders in the transition to competing consistently at 1m40 level and therefore entering the Gold League. It includes 3 National Training days with coach Matt Lanni, more training with home coach Mia Palles Clarke (who also does regular clinics at Wodehouse Stud on which more details can be accessed via Facebook) and a squad trip to Bonheiden to compete in the CSI** in March.

India is delighted to have been selected for the programme and is looking forward to making the most of the additional support consequently provided during this time.

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.
