Equestrian social media posts of the week
Congratulations!
Piggy French was also delighted to be second at Burghley
If someone had told me I'd finish 2nd at The Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials Official Page, last week, last month, last year I'd never have believed them but Vanir Kamira was superb all week in all three phases. Her dressage was great, she produced her best ever cross country round and a clear in the show jumping. Burghley is such a tough test for the horses and it's ultimately those that have the bravery and courage for the job who rise to the top. Vanir Kamira is so brave and so tough and really tried her heart out for me last week. I'm proud of her performance and hope there might be plenty of good days to look forward to with her.Thank you to Trevor, her owner, for sending her to me, to all the team at home who keep the show on the road and to owners, sponsors and supporters who make it all possible. I couldn't do it without you and am so grateful to be back in this position so soon.Dodson & Horrell Toggi Devoucoux FALPRO Lincoln Equestrian Animalife – Feel The Difference

When you and your horse see two different strides…eek!
Wow
Bridleless Eventing – Cross en Cordelette (Août 2017)
/! NOUVELLE VIDÉO – METTRE EN HD /!L'autre jour, nous sommes retournées sur un cross différent de celui que je vous ai montré l'autre fois. Il s'agit du cross de Les écuries de Maret, un parcours flambant neuf, avec des obstacles allant des catégories 60 à 90, et un terrain vraiment top!. :)Après un petit échauffement en sidepull, nous nous lançons directement en cordelette <3. En effet, Unseelie était légère, super à l'écoute, et super motivée, ça promettait d'être EXTRA !Et… ça l'a été, et bien au delà de mes espérances :D! On ne s'est pas trop attardée sur les obstacles de 60, car ils deviennent vraiment trop faciles pour la belle ! ^^' Du coup on a visé plus haut, et, comment dire: tout est passé comme une lettre à la poste ! 😀 <3 C'est qu'elle tournerait sur du 90cm les doigts dans le nez la petite ! :PA la fin, on a même fait un plus gros enchaînement, sur lequel on s'est vraiment fait plaisir ! :)Je quitte cet endroit des étoiles plein les yeux, et je ne me lasse pas de revivre ces moments au travers des vidéos en caméra embarquée… Quelle jument extraordinaire, quelle chance, quel PUR BONHEUR ! Merci la vie de m'avoir fait croiser son chemin <3 <3.
