A great week at Chard CSI 2*.
Ernie topped the week off by jumping a double clear and finishing in 4th place in the Grand Prix.
It was also lovely to have Rouge back out after his winter break, he also finished 12th in the Grand Prix.
Masiy & Dalton D’Hoyo win the U25 Grand Prix at the Pony Of The Year Show Youth Festival.
17 year old Maisy flew to round the 1.45 track jumping a super quick clear in the jump off.
Maisy was incredibly pleased with her performance on Dalton and and also how her young horse Easy Go W tackled this GP track.
