A civilised time leaving the yard to drive to Norton Disney with Cullion Womanizer and Mackenzy. This was our first trip in our Owens 3.5Ton and what a difference it makes to the journey!

It was a VERY windy day, but pretty much dry so we were all happy and the ground had dried well since Friday.

Cullion Womanizer did some great trot work but having got spooked in the canter work decided to carry this through for the rest of the test!! He then did the same in the Show Jumping but again there was some good jumps also!. I was really pleased with him in the xc despite a stop at a step down which in all honesty he hasn't seen recently, as we haven't managed to get out enough xc training - can't think why!!!

Mackenzy was his normal consistent self - very good dressage with one "scoot" and then a lovely Clear SJ round - probably his best and a lovely steady XC finishing in 3rd place!

Next up is Burhham Market with the 4 big boys - in the 3* and 4* - hoping for a dry few days!

Then off to Kelsall.

Huge shout out for the team at Tweseldown who put on a fantastic event in 4 days following the cancellation of Cirencester. Incredible - thank you to everyone.
Camee de Muze and Tenz, in the Intermediate, Mackenzy and Cullion Womanizer in the Novice. I was really pleased with all the horses and particularly their Cross country and SJ. Finishing the day with Camee de Muze and Mackenzy in the top 10 of their sections - both owned by Caroline Leng who was over from Jersey to watch them.

The first international at Thorseby went well and again a huge shout out to BEDE Events for the huge effort to keep the show on the road with all their advanced planning. A great event. Both Ballycoog Breaker Boy and The Partner were in the 4* Grantham Cup which read like the who's who of eventing.

Ballycoog Breaker Boy was feeling on great form and produced a very good test (30.4) with two obvious mistakes preventing it from being lower.

He jumped well in the show jumping with 1 pole and was excellent cross country - he so enjoys this - I do have to remind myself to concentrate and not sit as a passenger!

The Partner also did a very good test (32.6) but we missed a flying change and a little tension in the canter work but otherwise I was very pleased with him. Sadly not his day in the SJ ring - he was far too excited to get out on the cross country so had a couple of poles which is very unlike him. As a result we didn't run him XC

Both these horses, Camee de Muze and Tenz are heading for the 4*s and 3*S at Burnham market in a couple of weeks.

We are just rejigging some of the horses runs as Portman and South of England have been abandoned.

Mckenzy and Cullion Womanizer are now heading to Norton Disney on the 7th April -followed by their first 2*s at Kelsall Hill - fingers crossed they run!!

Gavin Scofield
Role:  
Osteopath,

Gavin is an internationally renowned Equine Osteopath, who has been in full time Equine practice for over twenty years . Gavin has worked with Will for about 15 years, since Will was still riding ponies! Gavin has refined and developed Osteopathic technique to develop a unique way of working which has pushed the boundaries of what is possible therapeutically, allowing the patient’s body to achieve greater benefits from manual medicine. This subtle approach is specifically tailored to work with the innate homeostatic /self correcting reflexes within the body, including the postural centres of the brain. By appropriately stimulating these areas, on many levels, it is possible to help the equine FUNDAMENTALLY change patterns of tension within their muscular-skeletal system. This allows not just a release of tensions, but a PERMANENT change in postural balance, improving biomechanical function, especially movement. This improved postural balance can not only optimise the equine’s movement potential but has also been seen to help improve physiological function and psychological issues.

The client base is diverse in terms of the variety of equine disciplines and all levels within them which Gemma finds important to full fill a more in depth understanding of equine needs. A chosen career in the very specific field of equine dentistry was fuelled by a lifelong love of horses, the requirement of attention to detail and an overall compassionate approach with the desire to improve welfare and performance. Gemma has been and remains a full member of the BAEDT (British Association of Equine Dental Technicians) since 2015. In 2018 Gemma was elected onto the council and served the Association for 3 years gaining valuable industry insights but mostly helping to promote equine welfare, professionalism, training and public understanding of equine dentistry.
