CHN’S READER 2021 ACHIEVEMENTS Natasha Rose: Steel Away J “My biggest achievement of 2021 was managing to compete, and going on to win Tiffields Summer Dressage Series and our ex point to pointer being crowned ‘Champion’. ‘Steel Away J’ came to Chris Loggins yard in 2014 as a 7 year old to point-to-pointer, where he won his maiden. He was a nervy but friendly horse who would only work on one rein. I gained his trust and slowly he progressed to work on both reins. The fact he is now my ‘little dressage horse’ makes me so proud of the bond we now have. He last ran in 2017, and since then has been my fun horse. He’s still quirky but that keeps me on my toes!
I hope this year we get to compete more, hopefully in few ROR classes. Fingers crossed, we manage to retain his crown from Tiffields Dressage Show!”
Caroline Horsley: Calaghy Hunting Bird (Dotty) > “Dotty is my lovely seven year old Irish Draught mare whom I have owned for nearly three years. First time out eventing, we qualifed to National Championship at Aston le Walls. She has won several ridden Hunter classes and Working Hunter classes at the end of the season. She won Ridden Hunter Championship, then went on to win overall Showing Supreme Championship Great team effort with my mother acting as groom Dotty is always well behaved and we are looking forward to an interesting 2022. Hopefully we can carry on with fabulous training sessions with William Blane and Sofie Cox “
< Bombadera (Bonbon) “Bonbon is my thirteen year old, ex-racehorse. He is a lovely well behaved hack and hunting horse. Unfortunately he is now blind in one eye, but still managed to jump a clear round indoors the other week at 90 cm. He was in training six years ago, retiring at the age of seven having won 28,000 pounds.”
