Landy was a star on his journey out to France 🇬🇧🌟🇫🇷 It was a very long day but he travelled as good as gold on his first trip abroad 😍 Thank you so much to Liusaidh who travelled out with him and to the rest of the travelling team from Equestrian Team GBR for making sure all the horses arrived safely in Deauville!!! After such a long journey, it was great to be able to get Landy out and led in hand so he could stretch his legs 😊 I was so proud of how well he settled in at his first international 🤞🍀
Landy flew through the trot up ✅ And all GB horses passed 🇬🇧 My handsome boy was as good as gold and looked absolutely stunning 😍 I’ve had 2 fantastic training days with Nina, being able to ride in the beautiful indoor arena where we were going to be competing and Landy was building in confidence all the time!!! 🤩
I’m so unbelievably proud of Landy 😍 We were first to go in the Team Test yesterday and Landy produced a lovely test 👍 I was very pleased to place 6th out of a very strong class of 11 with 65%+, even through we had a few little baby moments 😊 My main aim was to give Landy a positive experience in the arena and to give him confidence with it being his first international test 🇬🇧
WOW...Landy was amazing in the Individual Test 😍 He grew in confidence each day, and with such strong competition in the Grade II class, I was delighted to place 7th, increasing my score from the Team Test, to 68% 🇬🇧🎉🇫🇷 We produced a much more confident test, showing more of what we have been working on at home and in our training with Michel 👍 There is still so much more to come but our partnership is growing all the time and I am beyond proud of my handsome boy ❤️
Achieving 70% and placing 4th, was a fantastic end to the Deauville CPEDI 3* and Landy’s first international 🇬🇧🎉🇫🇷 I was delighted to get through to the Freestyle Test and be able to dance together to our new music 🎵 I absolutely loved my new music, which was put together the Julie Geraghty from Equivisions dressage to music design 👍 Even though I had practiced my freestyle at home, it was Landy’s first time dancing to music in a competition atmosphere so I was thrilled that was confident and loved it 😍
Landy was incredible at his first ever international and I can’t put into words how proud I am of my handsome boy and couldn’t have asked for a better start to our International career together ❤️
None of this would be possible without my amazing team around me! Thank you so much to my mum, Liusaidh for warming up Landy and being top groom, make sure Landy looked super smart, Nina for coaching me whilst in France, my coach, Michel at Assouline Dressage for all his support and the rest of the Equestrian Team GBR support team! I also couldn’t do it without my amazing grandparents, who looked after everything back home 🌟 A massive thank you to my incredible home team, sponsors and supporters 🙏🏻
