Advanced Medium. We are competing
in our first Advanced on Sunday and
aim to step up to PSG later in the year
ready for the premier leagues in 2016.
We were the Petplan Novice Open
Champions in 2013 and Elementary
Open Champions in 2014 and qualified
for the Nationals at Elementary Open in
2014 where we won the highest placed
amateur owner/rider award. I have since
decided to make a career in dressage
and currently freelance train and ride
and am hoping to do my training and
judging qualifications. We also won the
Advanced Mediums at the U25 High
Profile at Keysoe.
I will be competing Winston at
Hartpury Premier League in the
Advanced Mediums and hopefully the
Advanced. I was absolutely delighted
with him at Somerford Premier League.
He has not long stepped up to the level
and although there is lots to improve I
always feel like he is trying his best for
me. Winston and I have a very strong
bond which I am sure helps us in the
arena. He is a very affectionate horse
who is like a big pet! I couldn’t believe
how well we had done especially in
the AM98 coming overall 3rd behind
Paul Hayler and Laura Tomlinson on
my little (15.3hh) home bred boy, it/
he is a dream come true. I also have
his full sister who is now 5yr old and
seems to be a promising prospect for
the future. I train with Olivia Oakeley
who I would like to thank for helping
me at Somerford. I would like to thank
my mum for everything she does for me,
for believing in Winston and I and for
making it all possible. And thank you to
everyone who supports us and has been
part of our journey so far. I am currently
seeking sponsorship to help us on our
next step of our journey and to be part of
it. I hope to train Winston to Grand Prix
but ultimately to enjoy and have fun on
our journey together.’’
