Huge congratulations to the lovely, if a little mad, event riders on Aspire’s Performance Programme – Emma Brinkworth with her own Merehead and Lou Crow with Laura Williams’ Robyn.

If you follow our Instagram and training updates you will know both Robyn and Merehead are ex-racehorses with sometimes too much blood buzzing in their heads but I love the challenge of training the pair and the riders do too.

I don’t normally get too involved in their XC training but we work diligently on many aspects of flatwork and jumping and these are the areas I look for improvements (and expect them at the Programme they are both on 😉 ).
I was over the moon to hear Lou got her best dressage test on grass yet (Robyn was very un-confident on grass and struggled a lot, still a work in progress) and Merehead gave Emma a first, controlled and pleasant show jumping round.
Well done ladies!!
Next stop: BE90 at Offchurch on the 3rd of July. Keeping all crossed for as good or better results there 🙂
