Mother and daughter duo rode to the occasion today at The Grange! Kerry O'Shea Martin started the day with a great double clear in the 70cm on her trusty mare Dora and even placed which is a huge success for them. But Sinead Martin had to go one better by winning the Discovery and riding a cracking round in the Newcomers at their first show since Christmas. This was all under the watchful eye of their trainer Bev Trebilcock! Well done ladies 😘 #teamlegonna (at The Grange Equestrian)

To kick start 2017, I would like to congratulate Cornish ride Emily White and her cracking little Mare Betty. She said that it felt so good to get out with 'Betty Brave Pants'! After some time away from competing the nerves were kicking in so had to have her dressage test read to her. 🙈 But with adrenaline kicking in she rode a lovely test and a cracking round. Well done Emily and Betty, good luck for the season ahead and keep us updated

I have recently been speaking with Georgia Stokes about her horse S.O.S Talented Mr Ripley, it goes without doubt that he is living up to his name! They have danced their way to a successful year and Georgia said that it has been the best competative year of her life! They started off in January with a win in the PSG at Addington High Profile and he has not been outside the top ten at any premier league shows all season. They have recently competed in their first Grand Prix and also competed at the national championships in serious company. They came in the top 14 to qualify for the inter one music freestyle which was very exciting, although something they were not prepared for. Luckily Claire Deithrick had sorted some music but they never thought that they would have needed to use it. They finished 13th which was a huge acheivement. They are feeling very confident for the future and she thinks that he has been waiting all of his life to be a Grand Prix horse as they spent a good few years doing everything in passage, but now he is finally allowed to do it. What an incredible year they have had and I can only suspect that next year will be even better! Well done Team SOS 🐴🏆 #equestrian #britishdressage #dressage #teamsos #horse

Congratulations to Helen Redington who achieved a 64% and 66% in two prelim classes over the weekend on her 16 year old horse. Although he is a vetran horse, he had never done dressage before Helen owned him. Due to her exams she has been unable to take training seriously and only got back into the swing of things over the past few months so it really is a great result! Congratulations Helen! 🏆

Massive congratulations to Cornish eventer Charlotte Vincent who recently returned from Ballindenisk in Ireland.

They are now heading to Aldon this weekend to continue with their fabulous results in the CIC 2*. Good Luck! Xx
