We are now back in the UK and so are our horses who have been away for almost 6 weeks. They have had a relaxing week after competing at Exloo Internationaal in Holland where they performed well! Mike and Kafteinn were competing in the F1 Five gait where they managed to get in the A final. Unfortunately, Kafteinn was too full of energy and expectant of the pace so Mike missed some pace runs so didn’t do as well as hoped but rode a very good final in the circumstances!

Andrew and Hafeti also managed to ride into the A final in the F2, where Hafeti also got excited (after competing in the Pace Test and Speed Pace the day before) and they did not finish the final, however, they got some excellent scores for their tolt and trot so it is very encouraging.

Elizabeth rode Stapi in the T4, and managed to secure 7th place with a good show. Jemimah and Kraftur performed well, getting in both A finals of the T1 and V1, and came home with 3rd and 2nd place which was amazing!

It was also lovely to watch our friends and co-riders from Great Britain ride in the competition too – well done to Dave (Lina), Ann (Brjann), Freija (Ljori), Torben (Pipar) and Nadine (Odinn)!
