Work but it didn't seem like it!

Hey guys

I made the most of the sunshine last weekend and took a trip up to the Chatsworth Nissan Horse Trials in Derbyshire. We went up on Sunday which was perfect as the World Cup Qualifier was on.

Oli Townend won the class after a perfect clear round in the showjumping on Flint Curtis. Over To You, who is my favourite horse ever (apart from Thomas obviously) was in the World Cup Qualifier too and even though he’s a veteran now he skipped around the cross country - like a walk in the park – bless him!

The British Olympic eventing team were all there too so I a got a great snap of them all together too - take a look below.

William Fox-Pitt and Parkmore Ed came 3rd overall after a great showjumping round – Parkmore Ed is one of the horses which William may be taking to the Olympics.

Olympia 2012 hopeful Laura Collett is only 18 and is already competing in the big time, Laura and her horse Rayef came 6th in the World Cup Qualifier – well done Laura!
