Two nice jumping rounds at Willowbanks EC


Having done so well at dressage last week, it was nice to get out with Koning Albert to do his favourite job of jumping.

Berti needs to get his Foxhunter Double clears for 2024, so we dropped back down to go for some nice steady clears. Dani Johnston has such a great relationship with Berti, she knows exactly when he's concentrating on the job, showboating or daydreaming and a few times today he was finding it all so easy, his mind wasn't on the job. A quick talking to from Dani, and Berti remembered what he was in there for! They produced a nice double clear in the Foxhunter.

Just to give him a bit more to think about and get back on track, they did the 1m35 and Berti still found it a nice easy course which is so nice to see. He jumped a lovely round and we were very pleased with him, as was he :-)

We are so grateful to Dani for the time and effort that she puts into Berti, along with all her other rides, and Berti loves her too.

Thank you to Jo from Wildair Portraits for the lovely photographs
