We made the trip down to Cork with Ardeo Arctic Wolf for his first FEI event in the CCI2*-S at Kilguilkey International. He was impeccably behaved throughout. We arrived with time for a nice leg stretch before tacking up heading over for the dressage. The dressage judges had split opinions on him after a positive accurate test leaving him midfield heading into the show jumping. He jumped so well showing his flashy technique around the course. Salt settled into his stable and tucked him into bed. He has such a personality and is so fun to be around! We had

I may
