We had a great end to the season at Eventing Ireland’s Punchestown on the 9th of October.   The beautiful 6 year old Numero Uno mare, Ardeo Gold, led from the front at her first EI100 and jumped a beautiful double clear with Neil Wrynn.  Ardeo Castleconnor and Hattie Dinnis contested in their first EI115 which went so well for them, just less than a point behind the dressage leader, riding a super test.  Hattie’s mum, Julie Dinnis, flew in from Sevenoaks in Kent, to drive the lorry!

Ardeo Rocketman placed 3rd with Eva Melly at Frankfort Stud in the EI100.  Thank you Eva for doing such a great job at such short notice, while we await to hear the government guidelines as to whether they will allow Tiggy Hancock, Spice’s pony rider, and all under 18s to compete at shows again.
