Zurich World Cup Show, Saturday

28 January 2012

Yesterday the horses all went good. Tinka was 12th in the Grand Prix. She had a the plank of jumping into the combination but nearly half the class had this down and she jumped really well. She gets a day of today in preparation for the World Cup Tomorrow.

Romanov jumped in a speed class and jumped a nice clear and he has the big class this morning.

Wings Sublieme was 4th in her class and is improving all the time. She jumps in the Top 15 class today which is for riders in the top 15 of the World Rankings so it will be another step up for her but she feels well capable.

It is quite important this week that I try to pick up some good points to maintain my position at the head of the Olympic Qualifying List to ensure Ireland has the maximum riders competing at the Olympics. The cut of date is the very end of February so 4 weeks to go!

I will keep you informed of how I get on.
