Show Report : Sentower Park - CSI

It was a nice short drive from Lummen to Sentower Park for the second week of our 🇧🇪Belgian trip and we crossed our fingers that we were in for a drier week🤞🏻🙏🏼.

Mowgli C started things off with a good clear in the 7yo and Thor van de Vlasbloemhoeve had our first podium finish of the weekend picking up a 🥉 third place in the 5yos.
Friday was a good day with all of the horses going clear or picking up a placing but the weather took a turn for the worse and poured ☔️ all day so 🐴Mowgli took the opportunity to stay in 🛌 bed!
🐴Thor picked up 4th in the 5yo, Nevis Field was 5th in the 6yo, Malibu RAG 12th in the 1* 1m30 & Cornet’s Ghost stepped up for a clear in the 2* 1m35.

For the weekend the weather had improved but 🐴Malibu picked up a cut in the warm-up for the 1* Grand Prix so was unable to jump so it was all down to 🐴Thor on Sunday 😬. He stepped up to jump a fantastic double clear in the 5yo Grand Prix to take the win 🏆🥇 finishing off a great 2 weeks for him after his double clear the week before in Lummen too.

We head home now for a few weeks to spend a bit of time with the younger horses before the older ones head to Addington in June. Hoping to see the ☀️ sun in the next few weeks too!

Show Report : CSI Lummen

We were excited to head to Lummen for the second week of their Spring Tour but unfortunately the weather was against us! ☔️
After postponing the whole show on Friday to give the grass arena some time to recover from the unprecedented rain the previous day we hoped to get the show underway on Saturday. With a clear in the 6yo & the 1* 1m30 we were happy to have made a start but later that day during the 7yo class another storm hit and the show was forced to cancel for the rest of the afternoon, meaning another easy day for 🐴Mowgli C!
Sunday came around and it was a drier day and we had clears in the 5&6yo on the grass, both 7yos with a 4th from 🐴Malibu RAG & a 9th for 🐴Cornet’s Ghost in the 1* 1m30.
On Monday for the Grand Prix classes we were rescheduled to jump everyone on the sand arena after more overnight rain 🙈.
🐴Thor van de Vlasbloemhoeve was double clear in the 5yo, 🐴Mowgli had a clear in the 7yo too and 🐴Cornet’s Ghost finished the day with clear & 1 time fault to finish 8th in the 1*.

A lot of cleaning required before Sentower Park this coming weekend and we hope to continue with some good results.

Show Report: Sentower Park - CSI

We had an enjoyable trip to Sentower Park last week with 5 of our up and coming young horses. Having spent the last 6 months back in the UK producing the horses over the winter months it was nice to get a gauge on their progress.

5yo Thor van de Vlasbloemhoeve impressed with placings each day, clear on the first 2 days picking up a 5th and 3rd place respectively. And just showed a little inexperience changing rings for the final day, but finished the course well to pick up eventual 10th place.
6yos Nevis Field & Loma de Reve LH posted very solid rounds in the large Ashford Arena each day including a 7th place on day 1. An unfortunate fence down around a tough Grand Prix course kept them both out of the jump off but we are excited for the rest of the year with them.
And finally 7yos Malibu RAG & Mowgli C really stepped up jumping 2/3 clears in their 1m30-1m35 classes also picking up 2 placings over the weekend. An unlucky fault at the end of their testing 7yo final also kept them both out of the jump off this time but we feel a lot of experience was gained for them.

Great to have been joined by our friend Carolyn Curcio from Chiron Stables this week too, with her two horses gaining valuable experience for the rest of the year as well.
