So much to be proud of

Thanks to all of you who took the time to visit us at Badminton Horse Trials this year, The weather held off enough to let us thoroughly enjoy our time there and meeting you all and hearing how your horses are getting on was fantastic.

Congratulations to Eventing Magazine competition winner, Susan Callan from Aberdeenshire in Scotland.  We arranged for Susan to have tickets to Friday and Saturday, a course walk with Lucinda Green and some feed to trial on one of her horses.  Keep your eyes peeled for more Winergy competitions in Your Horse magazine and Horse & Rider later this year.

Part of what made Badminton 2009 particularly special for the Winergy team was that rider Heidi Woodhead was competiting with her horse The Biz (aka Bruno).  Completing Badminton for the third time (but in this instance with a large metal plate in her leg) Heidi and Bruno went clear XC with just 6.8 time faults and unltimately finished 31st.  Not only is Bruno fed Winergy Equilibrium but I was grooming for the pair and spent much of the week running from the trade stand to the stables and back again.

I really thought Ihad got away with my Banana Man style transformations until a kindly visitor to the stand pointed out I had a great dollop of event grease in my hair!

 

Heidi and Bruno are pictured here, on their fantastic XC round and at the trot up on Sunday morning (above).

Thanks again for coming to see us and well done to Susan and Heidi.  See you next year.
