Future Perfect Challenge

Following on from the Home International I was overjoyed to be home with the horses - it was hard saying goodbye to Sebastian but he too was pleased to be home after his adventures. After a Championship event there is a gap to fill and a lot of emotions to process. Jack and I have been for some very long rides and just this week have returned to the arena- he is such a mind reader and it was fun playing with a little gentle work. I can't wait for Jack to feel ready to party as I am very keen to compete him again. I am also looking forward to introducing Jack to James.

I am keen to stay on the Central squad next year and I would also like to think that I could stay on the squad that will travel to the Europeans in 2013. The future is so exciting but I face a challenge too as I would not ask Jack to travel long distances and I think it would be unfair to ask Sebastian to do the same though he is a frequent flyer and a very easy traveller he was tired after the journey to Scotland. For now I have the Inter Regional Team competition to aim for in May and the Home International Competition in October as a goal. I would like to think that Sebastian and Jack would be considered and am aiming to present myself for selection at the next viewing day. May seems a little way off but trust me its just round the corner : )

My future challenge is to welcome and produce FHS Samaranz for Kim Moloney. Samaranz is rising four and is by Samarant out of Romanz in Dur, he is a black Oldenburg gelding who I have fallen in love with and I have the honour of working for Kim to produce him. Our aim is for me to introduce him to the world at Senior Camp in May. This is a perfect opportunity for me and the future is looking bright.

Samaranz is by Samarant pictured below. His Dam Romanz in Dur was cover girl with Lee Pearson for BD magazine last year. Samaranz arrives at Solitaire Dressage very soon.
