Osberton

Osberton ended up a mixed bag really.


Outward Bound had a great run round in the 1* and finished in 12th place.

Obos Cooley did a lovely test and was fab xc but had an annoying 2 fences down showjumping and he finished 19th in the highly competitive young horse class – I am thrilled with his progress this year and have high hopes for Le Lion D'angers in a couple of weeks

It was fun to have Fernhill Cristal out again in the 2*. We did a great dressage to lie in 2nd but unfortunately the sun was blinding as we approached a tricky combination which meant I missed my line which saw us collect 20 penalites and then I was totally gutted that we couldn't present him at the final trot up.

We had a mad dash home and after a brief pit stop headed east to Little Downham.

Allora 3 made a few mistakes in her dressage for 34 but jumped a lovely double clear ending 8th in Advanced

Noble Bestman did a lovely test for 29, showjumped clear but had a very naughty run out on xc! I am cross with him and he needs to buck up before we head off to Pau

Nankin W did a nice test but only got 35 which was disappointing, but he jumped a fab double clear to finish 9th in the novice.
