A great day at Great Meadows for all of Team GB. We lay in first place after dressage with all the horses producing some of their best work! I was first out with Suzanne Doggett’s HALLTOWN HARLEY aka Barbie Pony and he was a star, a little tension in the walk but otherwise I couldn’t fault him.
Next on to SJ and of course my Barbie showed America what a fantastic SJ he is with a lovely clear. 2 super clears from both Ben and Sophie and an unlucky 4 faults for Leslie was still good enough to keep up in top stop!!
All to play for tomorrow!! Come on Team GB ???? keep your fingers crossed for us!

Barbie Pony strikes again!! What a superstar he is. A super test and a double clear, bang on the optimum time to finish 2nd in the CICO*** at Great Meadows in America (frustrating only 0.1 behind the winner). But to top it off, TEAM GB won GOLD in the Nations Cup Compétition!!! I’m so proud of all the Team. Alex VT and Audrey have turned the horses out to perfection, Philip Surl for leading us all the way and of course to the Americans at Great Meadows for inviting us and looking after us all week!! Good job Team GB!!
