In this blog post, In The Saddle sponsored rider Rosie Warner tells us about her progress over the last few weeks.
Rosie has had a busy time, despite her top horse ‘Cult Legend’ being under the weather and on light duties.
On 16 August, Rosie and ‘Ars Big Time’ (aka Milo) headed to Shrewsbury Flower Show. A pole down in the first round was followed by a superb clear in the second round. Despite only being a 5 year old, Milo coped incredibly well with the big atmosphere and didn’t seem to mind a change of career being a show jumper for the day!

A week or so later Rosie and Milo set off again, this time for the BE90 at Solihull.

A solid dressage test was followed by an unlucky pole in the show jumping, but they then stormed round the cross country clear to finish 10th overall.

Next it was the turn of home-bred ‘Finest Star’ to have an outing, as he went XC schooling for the first time.

Romeo flew over all the BE80 fences at Berriewood in fine style and had great fun in the water jump. Exciting times ahead for this beautiful boy.
After an inspirational visit to Burghley Horse Trials at the weekend, it was time to test Milo with the BE100 at Sapey.Following a lovely dressage test, Rosie and Milo followed through with a foot perfect double clear to finish 2nd. What a great result!

Well done Rosie Warner… we’re very proud of you.
