Last weekend I competed at the CSI2* at Drachten NL. It was really strange to be at a competition without Bella who is on a well deserved break after a fantastic indoor season.
I took the French stallion Nouma d’Auzay who I ride now for his owners. In addition I rode one of my young horses Gordon Vd.Riloo in the YH classes.
I was very pleased with Gordon who jumped well over all 3 starts although the paddock is a challenge with him. He is easily distracted & can become very horse shy at the moment & the paddock at indoor shows can be very busy.
Nouma started very well but became tired very quickly as he is not jump fit at the moment. I will also need to form a partnership with him as he is quite different to ride than Bella.
Today is the last week in the Someren stables & we are starting to pack for the move to our new home at Haras De Wisbecq in Belgium.
Have a look at the Video of Gordon at Drachten CSI2*,YH in his first 6yo class:
I will write another update after we move to Wisbecq
Take care!
