WELCOME

Opinion Phil Smith,

British Eventing Board Director

As Amanda Ratcliffe pointed out in the last ‘Opinion’ page, Eventing is a sport in which people compete successfully when middle aged or even older, if such a thing exists.

I would like to add that the Volunteers on whom our sport depends can start work before they are allowed to compete and continue beyond middle age, whether or not they no longer have all of their own teeth, or even any. I’ve been involved in Eventing for as long as I can remember, in fact: first as a driver and unqualified groom for my daughter and, more recently, as a Director and Chairman of the Finance Committee. Like many others, Eventing has given me some wonderful memories and I find it very satisfying to be able to put something back.

My specific area of interest is Stoneleigh and finance, though I must say that Wendy and Mike and the other excellent staff there make my job really easy. They are all very professional and understand the Micawber Principle that income and expenditure should be kept firmly in line. Of course, managing the finances of a modern organisation like BE is much more difficult than that.

The issue is not just about keeping expenditure below income: the challenge is to grow income, ensure that our reserves are adequate and provide finance for developments to improve the sport and secure its medium to long-term future.

On the income side, growing our membership is the key and this has been done very successfully – notwithstanding the incredibly challenging economic circumstances which, of course, remain a concern. British Eventing Life and the website are other good examples of how the organisation’s commercial activities have been managed effectively to increase income.

For several years, a priority has been to build our reserves to ensure that we can cope with any serious problems that befall us. Heaven forbid, but a widespread foot-and-mouth outbreak early in a season could be much more problematic than the recent appalling weather.

Controlling expenses, increasing income and managing reserves will continue to need close attention, but BE is now in a very healthy position and a lot more emphasis can be placed on the future. Work to develop training is underway, offering great opportunities to improve the skills of riders and also to generate income. Further development of the website is also planned in order to fulfil your needs and wants.

Improving safety will remain a top priority. Perhaps most interestingly, though, are the huge opportunities to bring modern IT to Eventing which we will see more of in the future. So come on, reach for the 2013 Schedule and make a New Year’s resolution to volunteer or compete, no matter what your age!

Latest news from BE

We bring you all the latest news around British Eventing

BE Training & Education celebrates its first birthday

ADAM FANTHORPE

BE’s Training & Education programme has been up and running for one year this January, providing hundreds of training courses for riders, Coaches, Volunteers and Officials throughout 2012 by more than 50 BE, BD or BS Accredited Coaches/Trainers at over 70 venues. Many course attendees reported our training to be an invaluable step up to the next level in the sport or even providing the boost that was needed to get them involved in Eventing. Many training dates for 2013 are in the diary already, with rider training, Officials training and fence judge training dates available to book online now. Find out what rider training is on offer on page 27 or visit www.britisheventing.com/training.

Mitsubishi Motors Badminton Horse Trials date change from 2014 As from 2014, the Mitsubishi Motors Badminton Horse Trials will revert to its Thursday to Sunday schedule and move to the weekend after the May Bank Holiday.

The 2014 dates are 8-11 May, while in the following years they are 7-10 May 2015 and 5-8 May 2016.

Badminton is also extremely happy to announce that it has signed a new contract with the BBC to cover the world-famous Event through to and including 2016. Sporting fixture dates and timings are understandably affected by TV schedules and this change is in part due to the good news of this new contract.

Hugh Thomas, Director of Badminton, said, “We are of course very pleased to continue our unbroken coverage with the national broadcaster. There is always a knock-on effect when big sporting dates change, but equestrian enthusiasts and our many exhibitors will be happy that the Royal Windsor Horse Show has also moved one week later so there will be no clash. We will also avoid any future clashes with the Kentucky 4-star Event and our loyal spectators will be thrilled to revert to a Sunday finish.”

The 2013 event will be sponsored by Mitsubishi Motors for the 22nd consecutive year and their current agreement with Badminton runs until at least 2015; it also includes the Mitsubishi Motors Grassroots Championships which take place the day before the International Horse Trials starts. The 2013 dates for the International event are Friday 3 to Monday 6 May, with cross country on Sunday 5 May.

In addition to the increased competition opportunities at this level, EquestrianClearance.com have announced their ongoing support for the BE80(T) series and British Riding Clubs BE80(T) Championships. Lorraine Meadowcroft from EquestrianClearance.com commented: “We are delighted to confirm our continuing support of the world of Eventing through the BE80 Training series in 2013.

Current HSBC Rankings as at 31 October 2012 (validated results 01/11/2011 to 31/10/2012)

Les Etoiles de Pau (France): 24-28 October CCI4* Andrew Nicholson’s run of success showed no sign of abating when he sealed what was his most successful season for many years with his second four-star win on the trot and just the fourth of his long career. Les Etoiles de Pau was the first leg of the 2012/2013 HSBC FEI Classics™, setting Nicholson up well for the start of the 2013 season.

Riding Libby Sellars’ Nereo, Nicholson was the only rider to complete on his first phase score, recording his fourth consecutive International win.

“Winning one CCI4* in 10 years is pretty good and to win two in two months feels amazing,” he said. “This is what it’s all about.

Nereo is probably the best cross country horse in the world and in the showjumping I knew that if I did my job we could win.”

The Kiwis dominated, with the cross country leader Jonathan Paget (Clifton Promise) dropping one place with a rail down – still his best

result to date. Nicholson also finished seventh with Mr Cruise Control, the runnerup at Pau last year, while Caroline Powell (Onwards And Upwards) slotted in to eighth. Dressage leaders Christopher Burton and Underdiscussion dropped out of contention following a runout at fence four.

The new Olympic Champion Michael Jung finished in third place, this time riding Leopin FST, who he hopes to bring to Badminton, along with his Greenwich winner La Biosthetique Sam. CCI2* Christopher Burton had some consolation for losing the lead in the CCI4* after taking the CCI2* on Graf Liberty. Michael Jung was back on the podium in second place riding Fischerrocana FST, while dressage leaders Mark Todd and Regent Lad dropped to third with cross country time penalties.

Fair Hill (USA): 17-21 September Hannah Sue Burnett put almost 10 penalties between her and the chasing pack when winning the CCI*** on Harbour Pilot. Not only had the pair posted the best dressage score, they were also the fastest across country and left all the coloured poles in their cups.

Of their speedy cross country round Hannah Sue said, “My goal was to get a rhythm and not scale back on the fences. It was a little scary in spots, but Harbour Pilot answered every question I asked of him”.

Marilyn Little took both second and fourth places on RF Smoke on the Water and RF Demeter respectively. Marilyn’s rides were separated by Phillip Dutton’s Fernhill Eagle.

Galway Downs (USA): 2-4 November British born James Alliston has made Galway Downs his own. He took the top two spots in the CCI3* this autumn, defending his title from 12 months ago – having won the CIC3* at the venue in the spring. Tivoli was his winning ride, beating stablemate Jumbo’s Jake, with Alliston also sixth on Parker. “I’ve been on a bit of a roll this summer and when you’re in one of those spells, you feel like you get the luck on your side,” said Alliston.

FEI Balkan Eventing Championship: 21-23 September Bulgaria’s Ivan Dobrev clinched the individual title at the 2012 Championships, hosted by the city of Eskisehir, in the heart of Turkey’s Anatolian region. Simge Ozaltindere took the Silver Medal for Turkey and Calin Nemes the Bronze for Romania.

The 28-year-old Dobrev and Nikita led throughout, and made light work of Pierre Michelet’s cross country track. Just three combinations came home within the time allowed, while the defending champions, Bogdan Milascon and Lady Kera from Romania, were eliminated.

HSBC Training Bursary Merel Blom from the Netherlands won the HSBC Training Bursary at Pau worth $1,000 for the best CCI4* debut. The 26-year-old placed 13th on her nine-year-old Holsteiner Rumour Has It, having added just time penalties to her first phase score.

Blom is studying law and finance at Rotterdam University. She bought Rumour Has It as a six-year-old from a German showjumper. “So much happened on cross country day that I am thrilled to have done so well at my first four star and with such a young horse,” Blom said.

Woodhill Sands (NZL): 26-28 October Donna Smith took the top spot in the CIC*** riding Just Chocolate, denied a one-two by Shelley Ross and Alberta Tomba after her dressage leader Balmoral Sensation lowered a show jump and collected cross country time penalties, dropping down to third place.

Boekelo (NED): 11-14 October The old adage that success breeds success was proved true yet again on two counts.

The seemingly unstoppable Germans won the final leg of the inaugural FEI Nations Cup™ Eventing Series, to claim a comfortable victory overall, and Andrew Nicholson scooped up yet another threeday win.

Twelve teams had entered the last leg of the new series and New Zealand gave the Germans a run for their money, but with three previous wins (Fontainebleau, Strzegom and Aachen) already in the bag the Series victors were untouchable. They finished the year with a 24-point winning margin over the Netherlands.

A faultless performance

from Andrew Nicholson and his Blenheim CIC3* winner Quimbo piled enough pressure on to Michael Jung (Halunke FBW) to provoke two lowered poles and a lost title.

Rain had increased the challenges on Sue Benson’s cross country course, and Quimbo was 108th of 112 out of the start box. “It looked worse than it rode, but the same narrow track ridden by so many gets quite deep,” said Nicholson. “It becomes a lot harder work but he coped very well.”

Nicolas Touzaint made up the top three with Princess Pilot, while ninth placed Elaine Pen took the Dutch national title on her Jazz sired mare Vira.

Clayton Fredericks appointed Canadian Eventing Team Coach Clayton, who recently moved to the USA, will take up his post in January 2013. He replaces David O’Connor, who in turn moves on to coach the USA team.

“This opportunity has come at the perfect time for me as I transition from competing to coaching,” Clayton said. “I look forward to the challenge of taking Canadian Eventing to the next level.”

Rider benefits: “I find that riding through the winter can be quite demotivating in the dark and cold, so having something short term to focus on after Christmas fills in that long gap before the season starts! Having a BE organised Event held in an indoor environment is a really great solution for that.”

On horse benefits: “The intensity of the JAS format, combined with the cross country fence approaches, gives horses something to think about in addition to the showjumping and dressage competitions I tend to do over winter.

You and your horse have to be sharp witted to get around while putting in a polished performance to get full ‘Style’ marks, which means that you are focused before you head out to your first one day of the season, rather than using your first outings as a warm-up.”

Points mean prizes: “The training vouchers I won at the 2012 Championship were so generous that I was able to have support throughout the season, whenever I have had any issues, without worrying about the cost.

This has really helped boost my confidence and my horse’s performance, so I will hopefully come out even stronger in 2013.”

NEW this year − team competition A new addition to the Jump Training Championships for 2013 is the introduction of a team competition. This involves three combinations, who are entering the competition as normal, nominating themselves as a team.

Each team must comprise an entrant in each of the three classes (at BE80, BE90 and BE100 level) and must be declared on collection of the number of the BE80 competitor on the day of competition. The team with the best overall score will qualify for a team place at the Championship to be held at Solihull Riding Club on 23 March 2013. You may replace one member of your team only for the Championships and this replacement must ride in the appropriate level (ie if a BE100 competitor is replaced then they must be replaced with someone competing at that level). If a combination qualifies as part of a team only they will compete at the Championships but only be eligible for the team prizes.

VOLUNTEERING

The value of volunteering Equestrian sports might look exclusive, but Amy Bennett spoke to new BE Volunteer Ivor Welfare, who found a friendly welcome at the Olympics New to the sport – Ivor Welfare has had a fantastic first foray into Eventing through volunteering

ended up fulfilling such a position, and Ivor credits it all to a colleague of his: “Eventing stalwart Jennie Smith had heard that I had been accepted as a Games Maker at the Paralympics in Weymouth and she asked me if I would like be involved as a Gamesmaker at Greenwich Park.” Without even asking what the role would be, Ivor’s love of volunteering got the better of him.

“I immediately accepted and I later found out I was to be deployed in the Screens Team… about a month after this I found out exactly what the heck a Screens Team member was!”

Through his role as a career civil servant Ivor also sees the numerous benefits that volunteering has for those seeking employment, such as recently graduated students with an interest in sport or equestrianism. As he puts it, “I know from speaking to many employers that they really do value the worth of volunteering. They know it can bring new skills, improve existing skills, give a chance to try out new things and is a great way to meet like-minded people.” This is true no matter what age, but it clearly shows the functional, positive purpose that volunteering holds as much as it proving a fun hobby for

I have been a Fence Judge, a score collector, a vet’s assistant, a buggy driver and an assistant tearound boy From an outsider’s point of view, it is not difficult to see just why the sport of Eventing can sometimes be a difficult field to break into – pardon the pun.

With extremely knowledgeable people surrounded by impressive athletic creatures and riders who are royalty, it is a sport that could easily be perceived as elitist by those outside of it. However, one gentleman discovered this year that BE Volunteers don’t necessarily need to have in-depth knowledge of horses to be a valuable member of an Events team and to experience those rare once-in-alifetime moments.

49-year-old Ivor Welfare had barely

20

British Eventing Life January/February 2013

set foot near a horse before April 2012 year and yet he found himself in the midst of the most incredible summer of horses and sport – including in the centre of Greenwich Park during the Olympic Games. “My first involvement with Eventing only began this year,” Ivor told me. “I was a completely non-horsey person before April and never really thought about horses. In the short time I have been around them, I think I have learned more about horse owners than the horses themselves!”

One could be forgiven for asking how or why a Volunteer Coach for a youth football team with a passion for golfing

those who are looking to occupy their time in a fulfilling manner.

To start off with, Ivor volunteered at his local event – Larkhill Horse Trials.

“I worked as a ‘gofer’ – collecting scorecards, doing the tea-round and other ad hoc duties,” explained Ivor.

But showing a willingness to volunteer and learn about the sport, Ivor progressed on to further roles: “In my time I have been a Fence Judge, a score collector, a vet’s assistant, a buggy driver, an assistant tea-round boy and a general ‘Ivor, go and do this...’ assistant. All are jobs which I have enjoyed immensely.”

www.britisheventing.com

VOLUNTEERING “At one of my first Events, I was volunteering as a Fence Judge when a rider fell off her horse,” Ivor told me as he relived an anecdote from one of the more amusing moments during his time as a Volunteer. “Jennie Smith asked me to go and help the rider back on her horse so I ran over, and without thinking about the etiquette involved, I put my hands firmly on her backside and shoved her upwards into and nearly right over her saddle, to the screams of despair emitting from both Jennie and the Organiser!”

Ivor definitely now has the ‘Eventing bug’ and thoroughly encourages other ‘non-horsey’ folk to join him next season. “I would definitely advise people who can find the time to invest their energy into such a sport to try volunteering at a Horse Trial. They don’t need to have an affinity for horses to get a great amount of satisfaction from helping out, as there are so many different roles to try.” he said.

With plans already made to volunteer next season, Ivor explained to me just why he enjoyed his start to volunteering with British Eventing: “I have made so many friends, met some lovely people and been to some marvellous locations – Blenheim Palace for one.” He experienced a warm welcome from so many people involved in the sport, which dispels the theory that the Eventing fraternity can be an

I would definitely advise people who can find the time to invest their energy into such a sport to try volunteering unfriendly bunch. “Holly and Chris Farr, who organise Larkhill Horse Trials, have helped and encouraged me the whole time and have been to so many of the Events with me, and Alec Lochore [Olympic Eventing Manager] always found time in his busy schedule to talk to me and teach me about all things horsey.”

For any Volunteer involved with the Olympics in London, the Games are obviously going to carry some significance and Ivor is no exception when he describes why the atmosphere on cross country day at Greenwich made it his favourite Event: “Being with all those other Games Makers and getting so much respect and praise from the public gave the feeling of a real buzz for the whole time. The course was superbly designed and to actually work on those fences as part of the team was the best feeling.” The atmosphere behind the scenes was a unique environment that only a select few were able to Ivor with Team GB member Zara Phillips

experience, of which Ivor was lucky enough to be one. “Inside the Park, the utter support for all athletes and total positivity for everyone, whether a rider, a judge or a Gamesmaker was awesome.

It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience and I’m glad I was part of it.”

However, being able to meet the stars of the sport throughout the summer was also a highlight for Ivor. “Barbury Horse Trials was amazing as I got to chat to one or two of the sport’s legends – William Fox-Pitt and I met while we both walked our dogs one early morning and he was friendly and welcoming.

Lucinda Green, who was a boyhood heart-throb, was a delight to meet and Blenheim was fantastic as I had photos taken with an Olympian who also happens to be royalty!”

The fantastic experiences that Ivor has had while volunteering for British Eventing and at the Olympics have now given him the confidence to continue offering his time and expertise as a Volunteer within other International sports. “My experience of volunteering at major events has now encouraged me to apply already for the Commonwealth Games in 2014 in Glasgow.” This not only proves that volunteering for such an organisation as British Eventing lights the fire within people to want to contribute, but it also opens doors to many more opportunities and those once-in-a-lifetime experiences one so rarely gets at present.

An interesting observation that Ivor made is also one that unfortunately British Eventing are currently all too familiar with: “One thing that amazed me was that the vast majority of BE Volunteers that I have been lucky enough to meet this season have been 50+ years old. While this is highly commendable and absolutely vital to the continued running of Events, I do believe the sport needs an injection of younger Volunteers. Someone needs to engage these youngsters, someone like Jennie Smith – a knowledgeable person who can promote the message about the joys of volunteering to a wider audience.

She spoke to me briefly one day for five minutes – and the rest is history.”

SAFARI

At the end of every Event season riders need a break from the norm, whether it is relaxing on a beach or hitting the ski slopes. This year Jonathan Chapman sought a different kind of retreat in the form of an African safari in Botswana et up by Louise and Cor Carelsen, Limpopo Valley Horse Safaris is situated in the vast Mashatu Game Reserve in the Tuli Block of south-eastern Botswana.

Having never considered any kind of riding holiday previously, because, in Jonathan’s own words, “I spend enough time in the saddle”, he was slightly sceptical to accept the invite to venture into the African bush in exchange for providing some training to the staff at Limpopo. However his wife Laura had no such qualms and

S 22

British Eventing Life January/February 2013

readily accepted on his behalf, telling Louise that his horse-mad wife would like to come as well! Having been on safaris in Kenya and Tanzania, Jonathan had a certain level of expectation, however viewing the expansive African country by horseback proved very different to the game drives he had previously experienced.

Finding our feet “We arrived at the end of the dry season so the landscape was fairly arid,” Jonathan tells us. “We were part of an eclectic group of Europeans: a

mother and two grown-up sons from Madrid, a brewing heiress and her daughter from Germany, an English couple who were graphic designers from Enfield, Laura and me. You feel a certain amount of trepidation when you meet people you are going to spend the next few days with, with no means of escape, but after a few stiff handshakes and polite introductions, along with an unconscious decision to make English the common language, we were quickly paired up with our mounts and taken out on a trail ride.”

Jonathan was instantly impressed

SAFARI

It is hard to describe the thrill of watching a family of elephants, from babies to the huge bull, walk past you with the safety precautions and careful consideration taken when choosing the right horse for each guest. “We had to demonstrate competence in all three gaits – in a group and individually.

I was naturally given the weightbearing, Namibian Warmblood ex-showjumper, with, thank goodness, a very comfortable English saddle! The standard of equipment was very good and the horses were well schooled and tolerant of their variable cargoes. I got on very well with my steed; by the end of our time together I had him jumping any skinny thorn bush or fallen down tree that caught my eye!”

Exhilarating and exciting The vast expanse of riding in Botswana is almost endless. “In lots of ways the riding reminded me very much of hunting in the UK 30 years ago,” Jonathan admits. “There are periods of walking through beautiful countryside engaged in interesting conversations or quiet reflection, interspersed with adrenalin-fuelled excitement, galloping over natural terrain, through riverbeds, up and down banks, avoiding thorn bushes and jumping natural unprepared obstacles.

It is truly brilliant and touches the very nature of riding – your focus and instinct keep you safe.”

and abundant lunch.”

Even after some fast-paced, adrenalinfuelled riding there is always time to relax and absorb the scenery and setting.

“In the afternoon, after a two-hour siesta, followed by high tea, we took a game drive to a traditional sun downer at points of historic or topographical significance,” Jonathan explains. “This rounded off the day perfectly. Sunset in any country is beautiful, but in Africa where scale is paramount, it takes on a whole new dimension. A drive back to camp in darkness, interrupting the nocturnal inhabitants of the bush going about their business develops a sense of ‘bonhomie’ that extends through dinner, a gastronomic trip through African cuisine, and into night caps.”

“My admiration and respect for Cor and Louise and their dedicated staff is profound,” he says. “They strive for excellence in everything they do in a beautiful but not always convenient environment, and smile all the time whilst they’re doing it. My African adventure was memorable for all the right reasons and gave me time out to put a new perspective on life at home – I would recommend it to anyone.”

Look out for Jonathan’s take on training the Event horse in Botswana in the next issue of British Eventing Life.

A not so typical day The best time of day to ride in Botswana is early due to the heat.

“We had a 5am wake up call and tea in bed,” Jonathan says. “This was followed by a delicious breakfast and a 6am departure on the horses. With five to six hours between camps there was plenty of time to observe the environment and the amazing variety of flora and fauna that inhabit it. Cor is a conservation biologist by training and his knowledge and enthusiasm enhanced our appreciation of what we were seeing.”

“We saw all the animals you would expect to see on an African safari, but in a leisurely and familiar gait and not the bone rattling pace of a 4x4,” Jonathan goes on to say. “It is hard to describe the thrill of watching a family of elephants, from babies to the huge bull, walk past you in ordered procession in the peace and silence of the morning, or of To find out m or Horse Safaris e about Limpopo Valley standing just feet from a , visit www.in thesaddle.co group of giraffe, quietly m contemplating you as they eat their breakfast of leaves.

ALEC LOCHORE

The view from the saddle

28

British Eventing Life January/February 2013

www.britisheventing.com

ALEC LOCHORE

Hilary Manners talks to Alec Lochore about masterminding the most prestigious Eventing competition on the planet − the Olympic Games 012 will be remembered as a season of conflicting emotions; Event cancellations on the one hand and arguably the best Olympic Games ever on the other.

Caught up in much of this was Alec Lochore, Event Organiser, Course Designer, FEI Technical Delegate – and, of course, the Eventing Manager for London 2012. It has been quite a journey for the Norfolk-based Scotsman, who ran his first Event on his father-inlaw’s land at Burnham Market in 1999.

As Alec wrote in an online blog the day after the Games closed: “I maintain that if you want to look good, surround yourself with brilliant people.”

Responsible for the day-to-day project management and operational planning for the Eventing competition, Alec admitted that it was a fear of failure that kept him awake at night in the weeks preceeding the Games. “I knew that we had the tools to do the job but the restrictions we had to work within – very few people will ever understand that. I can’t begin to describe how complicated some of those days were.

There was a 3,000 page planning document with 1,000 pages of conditional discharges and that was just for round one,” he explained.

“Greenwich was a particularly challenging venue with some well documented issues surrounding it.

Some of these had been blown out of all proportion by the media, so LOCOG had to be both reactive and proactive – and they were. By the time of the Games these issues weren’t even a topic of discussion, and you have to work very hard to achieve a result like that.

“It’s very clichéd to say, and I say this only because it did all work, but everybody worked as a team – which

isn’t always the case when you are under that much pressure and it wasn’t always the case at all the Olympic venues either. Everybody in all venues delivered, but we delivered spectacularly and went for a drink together, even after 15-16 hour days and 10-12 weeks without a day off. Of course there were some cross words in amongst all of that, but you had to find a solution: sometimes you had to open an awful lot of doors before you found it, but you had to find it because 700 million people were going to watch us.”

Inevitably, there were several defining moments for Alec. “The first horse arriving on site was a massive moment because we were a temporary build and the timelines were so tight. We were determined that the athletes would have a relaxed environment and if building is going on, it is not relaxing. But people with horses who never eat up at the start of an Event were saying that they went into their stables and ate up straight away. Everyone seemed to be happy.

“Another memorable moment was on cross country day. Half way through the day I’d been pacing up and down – I’d been in the Control Box and had spent a lot of time walking around, both in the collecting ring and in the finish area because I didn’t really know where to be or what to do. I suddenly realised that everything that was happening was happening despite me being there – and it was all happening very well. People were doing their jobs. I don’t know why I didn’t believe it was going to be like that because we’d assembled the best conceivable team, and everyone was so totally engaged in what they were doing.

I finally relaxed a little.”

His favourite day, however, was the day Team GB won the Team showjumping Gold Medal. “It was ➝

ALEC LOCHORE a colossal moment,” admitted Alec.

“We’d won our Silver in the Eventing, having come very close to winning Gold, but when the showjumpers won it was just massive for Tim (Hadaway – Head of Equestrian for London 2012), Steven (Renouard – Dressage and Jumping Manager) and me because the rowers had won, the cyclists had won – and we were now able to stand toe-to-toe with our other sport colleagues as a Gold Medal winning venue. That was really important. We were in a venue for which there was a great deal of expectation, the British athletes performed superbly, and when we won that Gold Medal we ticked a massive box.”

I asked Alec if he believes that Eventing is now more secure as an Olympic sport and he didn’t miss a beat: “Without a shadow of a doubt, yes, more secure than it has been at any stage in recent years. I don’t say that emotionally,

TREVOR HO

LT

e Emily Lochor eys and Hexmal on tt Hayday at Ca

I say that in the knowledge of what was achieved for equestrian sport – because if there’s no Eventing there’s no equestrian. We put 55,000 people, a 22,000 seat stadium, 250 stables, a cross country course, comprehensive security cordons and more into a 150 acre site in the middle of the capital city. We proved that you can run a very big Event in a very small space.”

‘Legacy’ was one of the buzz words of the Games, and one which Alec uses himself. “You cannot over-value the legacy of having the Olympics at Greenwich for its future. I’m not saying we would never be chucked out or that we are above scrutiny, but we ran a high profile Event in a high profile venue, right in the middle of London. Jacques Rogge, President of the International Olympic Committee, came to the showjumping and apparently loved it. We had more TV cameras from Olympic Broadcasting Services than any other venue; a cable cam running 1.4km across the Thames, six royal families in attendance on cross country day... and, sure, it helps when the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge turn up to support their cousin (Zara Phillips). To boot, we won two Golds and a Silver in the three team competitions. It doesn’t get much better than that – let’s celebrate the success.”

Sadly, one frustration that remains for Alec concerns elements of the British, particularly equestrian, press. “Much of the journalism was moderate, sometimes poor and inaccurate. It’s very frustrating, when the rest of the world is finding every reason to be so positive, that some of the home press

can’t get their facts right or forget about the minutiae and see the bigger picture,” he said.

With the Games now consigned to the history books, what lies ahead for Alec Lochore and his Musketeer Event Management company? 2012 was meant to be a year of consolidation while Alec was focusing on London.

He must have an alternative definition for ‘consolidation’ to the one I am familiar with, having taken on the Pony Club Championships and won the bid for the 2015 European Championships (to be staged at Blair Castle). “Di Wass and Gemma Walker (at Musketeer) have done a great job in my absence,” Alec stressed. “I’m now looking forward to being involved with some new and different projects while still focusing on the continued development of Musketeer.

“It’s been a difficult year for the family,” he added. “We knew it was going to be tough, but all Eventers are used to a fairly nomadic existence so Emily was well prepared. It was harder on the boys (Hector, 5, and Rafe, 8), who I only saw four times between the end of Houghton (May) and the end of the Games. I’m itching for some family time.”

Our photoshoot concluded at Sussex Farm where Burnham Market Horse Trials takes place and Emily runs her yard. It is also where Alec attended Emily’s 21st birthday party, as the exboyfriend of a friend of hers, and then seven years later where the couple celebrated their marriage. His Scottish roots appear to have transplanted well into the Norfolk soil.

Judy Carroll Judy has had her seven-year-old mare, Molly, for two years. The pair have racked up some good results at BE90 and BE100 level and is hoping to move up to Novice next year.

“I know that we are going to have to up our game at Novice level, so I want to spend the winter working on jumping trickier lines and narrow fences,” says Judy.

Charlie Hunkin Charlie has owned her five-year-old Thoroughbred, Legs, since July. They have competed in one BE90 and hope to move up to BE100 next season. “I like the idea of these training sessions because I can practise technical fences like skinnies and corners before meeting them out on a cross country course,” says Charlie.

British Eventing’s training days give you the chance to build up your confidence and hone your skills ready for the new season, as Ellie Hughes explains

Outdoor Eventing might not kick off until March, but there are plenty of opportunities to hone your jumping skills on all-weather surfaces before the curtains open on the new season.

All-year-round arena Eventing competitions, including BE’s popular Jumping and Style (JAS) series sponsored by Baileys, allow you to gain vital match practice on a guaranteed good surface.

Training for these sorts of competitions is an important part of your pre-season preparation.

Brigit Ensten Brigit Ensten is a BE Accredited Coach and International Event rider. She has produced many horses to the top level in Eventing and is also widely recognised in the world of showing as a judge and rider.

“Problems that you might encounter out on the cross country course are all likely to be magnified in the confines of a small arena,” says Brigit, who emphasises the importance of focusing on the fundamentals of rhythm, balance, pace and position.

Charlie and Judy begin by warming up over poles on the ground placed around the arena.

“I want you to concentrate on keeping an even rhythm over the poles and have the feeling that the horse is taking you rather than you having to

work too hard,” she says.

Two poles are laid out along one side of the arena around five strides apart.

“I want you to count five strides between the poles to start with, and then shorten the canter and add an extra stride,” instructs Brigit. “Being able to adjust the horse’s stride is crucial when you’re going across country. This is a great exercise to practise at home because you can pretend that each of the poles represents a different type of cross country question. Imagine you are ➝

coming to a coffin fence – you need to close the canter, keep the revs up and select a low gear.”

Both Judy and Charlie’s horses find it easier to lengthen rather than shorten.

“This exercise shows up what you

34

British Eventing Life January/February 2013

need to work on at home,” says Brigit.

“You need to be able to shorten the canter without losing the power.”

Rhythm, not blues Brigit asks both riders to alternate

riding in a two-point jumping seat with sitting normally (upright) in the saddle.

“People often talk about which seat is best when it comes to jumping, but I believe you should be comfortable doing both,” she says. “Try cantering 10 strides in the two-point seat and then 10 strides in a normal seat.”

Brigit picks up on Charlie’s tendency to allow the canter to quicken when she adopts the two-point seat.

“Think about keeping the same, even rhythm. Nothing should change,” says Brigit.

Molly is inclined to be a little on the forehand, so Brigit explains how Judy can use her upper body to influence her.

“You can make the horse more uphill by sitting tall,” she says. “Think about lifting up your ribs and stretching your upper body upwards.”

Position and balance The influence of the rider’s upper body becomes more apparent when Brigit sets Charlie and Judy to task negotiating a short course of fences on related distances.

“If the rider is sitting up and is balanced, the horse can chip in an extra stride easily if it’s required,” she says.

Brigit tells both riders to up their canters and inject a little more pace and power.

“You are not quite meeting the fences with enough oomph. Because we’re working in a small arena you have to concentrate hard on maintaining the power – you need to find the canter that’s going to get you over the fence even if you don’t have the best shot,” she says.

Brigit notices that Judy has a tendency to tip forwards in the last few strides before a jump, making Molly more inclined to rush and flatten.

“As soon as the rider starts interfering with the horse’s movement with their upper body, that’s when the horse starts to rush – or worse, stop,” says Brigit. “Think about staying upright until you leave the ground to allow her to bring her shoulders up. If you sit more quietly she will take more time in the air.”

When Judy thinks about sitting more upright and lightening her seat, Molly responds by throwing some careful, clean jumps.

Counting down Brigit suggests both riders count out loud from the time they turn to a fence

TRAINING FOR SUCCESS

Brigit’s 3

top tips Charlie tends to cut the corner

a Legs throws ter nice jump af ercise ex the counting

1. There is a huge amount to be learnt from simply trotting and cantering over poles on the floor – and you can work over these even in the smallest arena. Imagine each pole is a different type of cross-country obstacle and select the appropriate gear for each one.

2. Build skinnies and corners with anything you can find at home. Just make sure you use guiderails on the floor to start with so the horse never learns to run out.

3. Indoor Eventing competitions are not won on speed, they are won on balanced, economical riding. Focus on rhythm and balance at home and you will find that you are automatically able to take the shortest routes.

use of every available inch of arena space is therefore vital.

Charlie is tending to cut the corner on the way to the water tray, meaning that she is not giving herself much time at all to get straight.

“Think about riding a square turn into the fence,” advises Brigit, who puts a bollard inside the track for Charlie to ride around. “Use your outside rein away from the neck to keep him out if you need to – like the showjumpers do.”

Charlie has no trouble jumping the corner

until the take-off.

“It really helps you keep the same rhythm and it gives you something to think about other than worrying about a stride,” she says.

This counting exercise helps Charlie in particular, whose horse, Legs, had

www.britisheventing.com

started to become a little long and strung out. “In the arena your job is to set the canter at the beginning, then keep the balance, the rhythm and allow the horse to find his own way.”

When you are jumping indoors, fences come up thick and fast. Making

Putting new skills into practice To finish the session, Charlie and Judy negotiate a narrow corner fence.

“I have put two guide rails on the floor in front of the fence to help you on the approach,” says Brigit. “In training it is so important that you build up slowly and don’t give the horse the option of running out.”

Taking on board everything they have been practising – setting off in a good canter and maintaining it, rhythm, balance and making use of the corners – neither Charlie nor Judy have any trouble jumping the corner.

“Because of the work we’ve been doing, both horses are completely focused on the fence,” says Brigit.

“You are both thinking more carefully about how you are riding on the approach and the result is that you are arriving at the fence at the right pace in good balance.”

JONATHAN’S DIARY

Hope reigns eternal; there is only one thing more exciting than planning your season and that is actually doing it.

Jonathan Chapman, Chairman of the BE Safety Committee, explains why the sport of Eventing is every obsessive compulsive planner’s nightmare

He who fails to plan, plans to fail YOU PLAN YOUR fittening regime to the nth

degree, you weigh your horse, you have the blood test done, teeth done, saddle checked; some forward thinking vets even offer a preseason MOT for horses which is no bad thing.

You then plan your pre-season showjumping, dressage and cross country schooling schedule and then build into that your training sessions with your Coach, all leading up to your first Event. Then you have a carefully mapped out competition schedule of Events that navigate you and your horse through the minimum entry requirements (MER), building your confidence and competence along the way so that you arrive at your goal feeling that you are ready.

Then, the horse goes lame or picks up a virus, or you break your leg skiing, a climate change intervenes and it snows for weeks on end, horses confined to barracks and all shows cancelled.

Then to top it all, the Event season starts and some Event secretary ballots you!

Planning is not a finite science and I have always likened Eventing to a game of snakes and ladders. You do need a great deal of tenacity to succeed in it, but a good year plan is still essential. The easiest way to start the process is to take a year planner and mark up your end goal. Say, a two-star CIC in the autumn. The end goal needs to be realistic for you and your horse. Look at the qualifications you and your horse already have and what you need to gain to enter that Event. Don’t leave your last qualifying run until three weeks before the target Event. Try to get qualified as early as is realistically possible, to allow for hiccups along the way. In an ideal world you would like to be qualified two months before the three

www.britisheventing.com

day and that is not easy in a season like 2012.

Qualifying early allows you a confidence boosting run after qualifying and before your target Event. In this instance say an Intermediate or Open Novice. Or, depending on your mentality, you might want to get an Advanced run without the pressure of qualification, and make the ‘big Event’ seem less daunting.

Remember also that at the start of the year you will need a run or two at, or just below, the level you finished last season. You need to work back from your goal to the start of the season and fill in appropriate runs. If you are not sure about an Event you have never been to, ask a senior rider or Coach. Most are friendlier than they might look, and are happy to share their experience with you, but do remember that everyone has their own biases.

With the price of fuel today it is tempting to pick Events close to home, but it is a good idea to pick one or two that are further away and stay over. This allows you to practise packing the lorry for a long stay away, determine how much help you might need, and how many people can comfortably stay in the lorry! You’ll also get an idea of how your horse reacts when he is away from home. Some get very stressed and stop eating and drinking. Better to find that out sooner than later and develop a coping strategy.

Now getting back to those Event secretaries who might ballot you… you’ll find that the ones who look after Events in the West Country, Wales, Scotland and the Eastern Counties are less likely to ballot – another reason to go further afield!

Plans are very individual to one’s own

circumstances and finances, and I have always found that I am more relaxed when I have one.

A plan helps you look objectively at where you are and where you want to go, and at the road you need to take to get there. It gives structure to your activities, and it makes you identify goals. Goals are motivators. From a practical perspective it means you don’t get to the end of March and realise you haven’t been cross country schooling, or get to June and find you can’t compete for the rest of the year because you spent all your money doing every Event in April and May. The important thing is to be flexible and not to get stressed when things don’t work out as you had meticulously planned them to. Remember that the horse doesn’t know the plan, he doesn’t know he missed one gallop before a three-day.

I think that the more you Event, the more you believe in fate or divine providence, whatever you want to call it. What is meant to be will be! Things do go wrong, but you will see that the good riders don’t wallow in selfpity. Instead, they re-group and divert to plan B and off they go again. But having that structure in the first place gives them a framework to build back up from.

I have always liked this quote from Alan Lakein: “Planning is bringing the future into the present so that you can do something about it.”

And the famous Winston Churchill one: “Let our advance worrying become advance thinking and planning.”

These are very pertinent to the Event rider when modelling their year ahead. Whatever the forthcoming season promises for you, have a plan now and be prepared to be flexible as the year develops.

British Eventing Life would like to welcome professional Event rider Lucy Wiegersma as our new 2013 diarist

NEW YEAR IS just around the corner and not

a moment too soon in my book. 2012 has been ‘character forming’ for me and I look back on it like a trip to the dentist: it had to be done, it hurt and it was expensive.

So, what’s going to make 2013 so much better? Well, some decent weather wouldn’t go amiss. Everyone suffered with the unprecedented spate of cancelled Events: BE, riders, owners, organisers, Course

Builders, trade stand holders and food outlets. At one point I even felt a twinge of sympathy for the insurance companies, but that passed quickly. The legacy of the dreadful summer continues in the high prices of grain and good quality hay and haylage.

On the horse front, 2013 could be a bit of a challenging year for me. At the time of writing, Simon Porloe’s owners have decided to put him on the market. With him possibly gone and Woodfalls Inigo Jones now retired, I will have just one older horse in Granntevka Prince. Having been a very precocious nine and 10-year-old, Prince slightly lost his way for a bit, but I really feel he’s coming back into his own and I think 2013 will see him return to form. All being well he’ll go to Badminton in the spring.

With several horses sold, after Prince there’s a big gap in my string to my two two-star horses; Simpson is now coming up to nine but is returning from a year off, so I’ll see how he progresses before making plans for him. Mr Chunky will be eight this time, and despite his slightly inauspicious name I really rate him; he’ll be aimed for a spring 2* and then maybe Boekelo. A little behind these two boys is Cillnabradden Evo – ‘Gary’

who is rising seven and very special and I hope he might be a Le Lion candidate.

The economic downturn has seen my business change shape over the last 18 months or so. Previously my main income was liveries (long-term competition, schooling and breaking) and the few horses I had of my own to sell were the icing on the cake. My livery income has taken a massive nosedive so I’ve invested in really high-quality youngstock to produce and sell, and that is now my main income stream. As a result I have a healthy number of exciting four and five-year-olds to bring out this year so I will be aiming to be BE100 Queen for a large part of the season!

The other significant change in my life in 2013 is that Padraig McCarthy, my boyfriend of two years, is moving over from Ireland to see if we can cope with living together. He is from a showjumping background, although he is currently in the final throws of finishing a PhD in business failure (no, he’s not using my business as a case study).

I’m trying to convert him to Eventing without much success, but it’ll be great to be working out of the same yard and healthy to diversify into producing a few jumpers alongside the Event horses.

YOGI’S DIARY

Yogi Breisner discusses the best ways to use the off season to improve and learn

No rest for the best I TAKE IT that you are enjoying the off season, − taking the opportunity to put your feet up and relax, maybe going away for a few days to get a bit of sunshine...

This time of the year is, believe it or not, possibly the most important part in the Event calendar. This is the time when you can reflect on the previous season and work on things to put right and things to improve. We are very fortunate to have some great Event riders in Britain. We also have some very promising up-and-coming young riders. No-one can be complacent, everyone needs to look at ways to improve.

Being a good and successful Event rider does not happen by chance – it is about creating a winning formula, a successful set-up, a winning team.

So how can I do that? Every rider is dependent on owners. In Britain, we are very fortunate to have some excellent, loyal

and supportive owners, but for this to continue, riders need to consistently work with them. The process starts by getting the right horse. Finding the ideal Event horse is not easy, but in today’s strong international competitive world, we need horses with good movements, a good careful show jump, and that are still bold, quick and agile in cross country. More than anything, we need a horse that is physically and mentally sound so that it can be trained. Right from the outset, there needs to be a plan on how to train, develop and compete the horse so that each individual horse can reach its maximum potential. It is not just about horses, though – it is also about you as a rider. There is always an improvement to be made in all three phases. One needs to be self-critical, analyse and put together a training programme for oneself – a training programme that stretches beyond just

No-one can be complacent, everyone needs to look at ways to improve 40

riding and involves you as a person, whether that means improving physically or mentally.

In an ideal world, an Event rider should have a hunter so they can go hunting regularly; a point-to-pointer to learn about galloping and jumping fences at speed; a dressage horse at Prix St. George level or above to learn about high-quality dressage work and test riding; and a showjumper capable of jumping tracks of 1.45m and above to get ring craft and confidence in this phase. Failing this, it might be cheaper to get yourself a good Coach who can help you improve in all three phases. It will not harm your Event horses to compete in dressage and showjumping competitions on a regular basis, and do not be afraid of taking them a level above the level on which they Event. Some of your Eventers could also improve with hunting.

Have a good look at yourself, analyse which areas you need improvement in and set about working on these areas. Do not be afraid of being unconventional – go outside your comfort zone. Maybe you could go to a local racehorse trainer? I find nothing will improve your balance and your fitness more than riding out a few racehorses and, if you get the opportunity to do some schooling, even better.

Schooling a green three-year-old up over hurdles does wonders to your reactions and will stand you in good stead in the cross country phase.

Put your thinking cap on and use the off season effectively. Eventing is an individual sport that requires a team around you to succeed. Best of luck, and I look forward to seeing you all greatly improved at the beginning of the season.

SAFETY

Safety review and statistics British Eventing’s National Safety Officer Jonathan Clissold brings you a summary of the cross country courses and falls on them for the 2011/2012 season

Distribution of XC starters to classes

THE SAFETY AUDIT of the sport at BE continues by collecting data on

Falls 1,730 falls in total on cross country courses at Events 1,622 occurred at a fence 108 were on the flat

all of the fences and the falls that occurs at them at every BE and FEI Event throughout the year. The Technical Advisers measure all the fences and allocates them a profile from a list. This is then entered into the BE database through the TA’s laptop computer.

The Fence Judges fill in a Fall Report Form for each fall, which is also entered into the laptop by the TA and sent electronically to the BE database.

The data that is collected is continually analysed, allowing BE to keep an up-to-date audit of the sport and quickly react to any fences or trends that appear that could affect the safety of cross country courses.

The reporting year for the cross-country data is 1 July to 30 June and at the end of this reporting period the database is sent to the Transport Research Laboratory (TRL) for an independent audit and annual report.

Here is the data reported for the period from 1 July 2011 to 30 June 2012: • 494 BE & FEI courses in the UK • 24,948 cross country fence elements • 61,678 cross country starters • 1.5 million estimated fences jumped • 1,730 cross country falls • 1,622 falls associated with a fence

Risk Using the combined result from Table 5, and using all the data collected, this gives us the following risk factors for the different types of fall: • Somersault horse fall: 28% risk of a serious/fatal outcome • Non-somersault horse fall: 7% risk of a serious/fatal outcome • Unseated rider fall: 2% risk of a serious/fatal outcome.

Table 6 shows that the percentage risk of serious injury from July 2011-June 2012 is 0.06%, which is as low as the risk has ever been.

Conclusions Looking at the results for this year, it can be seen that the number of seriously injured riders has reduced but the number of XC starters was lower as well. Therefore, the change is not significant and the risk factors remain much the same as they were last year, but this does support that downward trend.

99.94% chance that you would NOT be seriously injured following a fall on the cross country at a BE or FEI Event in the UK in the 20112012 season.

KBIS FESTIVAL OF YOUTH

Youth round-up

Festival of Youth Champions, Weston Park International

KBIS Festival of Youth – Weston Park The KBIS Festival of Youth was the muchanticipated climax for many of the sport’s younger riders and it didn’t disappoint.

Under clear blue skies, Weston Park and KBIS Insurance played host to three hotly contested sections and allowed many combinations to showcase what they had learnt from being part of BE’s Youth Eventing programme. National U18 Coach Caroline Moore commented: “There’s some tremendous talent coming through and this Event provides youngsters with a really good experience of having to perform under pressure − many of them have done themselves proud.”

This Event provides youngsters with really good experience

KBIS National U-21 Championship David Doel was the dominant force in this CCI2* class where, like all others at Weston Park, the combination of testing showjumping courses and the after-effects of up-to-distance cross country tracks often took their toll on the final day. He finished in first and fourth places aboard the ex-Wendy Schaeffer-ride Koyuna Sun Magic and Richoshea respectively. “I’m over the moon to have won,” exclaimed David.

“Although that was my objective, to be honest – I’ve had a cracking weekend though.” He confessed that Koyuna Sun Magic hadn’t given him the easiest ride

across country and that finding the right bit for the hard-pulling chestnut was still a work in progress, leaving his jockey to rely on his scope at times.

His ride on Richoshea, formerly the ride of Georgie Spence, was quite different: “He’s quite lazy and I didn’t push him across country as we’re still getting to know each other − I wanted to have something left in the tank for Sunday,” he said. “The showjumping caused havoc, so I’m lucky that both horses are confident showjumpers. I’m done now for the season, but I’ve got lots of youngsters at home to keep me busy so I don’t think there’ll be much chance of a holiday!”

Germany’s Franziska Keinki and Lancaster 149 were runners-up, with William Fox-Pitt’s working pupil and former Junior squad member Tom Grant taking third place with Leamchoill Drifter: “I’m absolutely delighted,” beamed Tom. “She’s a super duper mare and our goal next year is to get on the Young Riders team. She finished the cross

country full of running but I’m most pleased with her dressage test as this is an area we’ve been working really hard on.”

Eighteen of the 31 starters went forward to the final phase, where only Angus Lambert and Olympic Cool, eventual sixth, showed the coloured poles a clean pair of heels.

Fifth-placed Mary Edmundson and Mr Mystery Man were unlucky to lower three poles but impressed in the first two phases and, like several other combinations, caught the eye of KBIS British Young Rider Selector Alex Colquhoun: “Mary, Abigail Boulton with Tilston Tic Toc, Tom Grant and Tom Jackson with Waltham Fiddlers Find all really impressed across country on Saturday and are certainly combinations I’ll be keeping an eye on over the winter and going into next season’s training ➝

Youth round-up Everyone was really supportive and I’m so glad that all the hard work paid off programme. It was just a real shame that Waltham Fiddlers Find couldn’t be presented on Sunday as he sustained a deep over-reach that needed stitching.”

The KBIS U-21 Championship ran over the same cross country track as the CCI** competitors. It proved challenging but fair and, as ever with Janet Plant’s tracks, punished those lacking in fitness or accuracy but acted as an educational stepup for those new to 2* competition. James Hale and Diamond News and Rhea

MacLeod with Supermodel fell at the double of brush corners at fence five, one of the most influential fences on the track, while Alfie Bradstock and Ultimate Opposition stopped here before the horse unseated his rider at fence 15. Virginia Wells and Cool Decision parted company at fence 12, while Sarah Weaving and Tirconaill Stay With Me’s campaign came to end at the penultimate fence with a horse fall.

Rebecca Howe and The Surfing Smurf also suffered a rotational fall here and, although the horse was fine, Rebecca was taken to hospital with a head injury but was reported to be conscious, stable and comfortable the following day.

KBIS ON U-18 Championship The Midlands retained their title as Regional U-18 Champions with Harriet Deeming, Charlotte Barber and Jessica Watts also taking the top three individual placings.

The Central team finished second and

the South East third. Visibly proud Midlands Regional Coordinator Brolly Bealby, armed with her team’s prizes, said: “How chuffed can you be? As a team they’ve worked superbly together, they’ve all conducted themselves very professionally and have come out with the result they deserved.”

The cross country track posed no significant problems in this section, with many combinations coming home either under the optimum time or with just a handful of time penalties. This was all the more impressive considering this was the first three-day many of these combinations would have tackled and is testament to the first-class training that has been taking place throughout the regions. Harriet and Avanti II, a horse bought from James Sommerville 18 months ago, led from the outset and completed on their dressage score of 42.4 ahead of Charlotte and Gran Sho on 46.6 and Jessica with Colanski on 47.6. Four faults apiece cost the South East’s LucyAnna Westaway with Raindance III (4th) and South West’s Jodie Loveday with Zamor II (5th) a couple of places, while two down in the final phase relegated the Central team’s highest-placed combination

India Wishart and The Masters Harry from second after cross country to sixth.

“I was so nervous going into the showjumping,” admitted Harriet, “as it had caused a lot of problems, but everyone was really supportive and I’m so glad that all the training and hard work we’ve done with Caroline Moore has paid off. The cross country track was the longest we’ve ever done but Avanti was just amazing and we took all the direct routes.” The pair hope to catch the eyes of the Young Riders selectors next year.

Last year’s KBIS U-18 winner and Hows Racesafe Junior squad member Will Furlong proved his maturity and credentials when he headed a leaderboard comprising riders far more experienced than himself in the Walkers Logistics CCI* with his new ride Livingstone. The pair completed on their dressage score of 43.4 – a feat which both amazed and delighted Will, as he admitted that he and Livingstone are very much still getting to know each other: “I’m ecstatic,” exclaimed Will, “as I genuinely didn’t come here with any expectations other than hopefully a nice double clear. I owe a big thank you to Caroline Moore and Emily Llewellyn for the help they’ve given me. On the downside, it’s back to school and time to concentrate on A levels now!”

Charles Owen CCNP2* Lucy Latta and Nono, members of the Irish Pony European squad, took this section at the 11th hour after two phase leaders, Yasmin Ingham and Craig Mor Tom, lowered two show jumps in a nail-biting final phase. The pair, who competed as individuals for Great Britain at this year’s Europeans, posted an excellent dressage score of 40.6, jumped clear inside the time on Saturday and eventually finished a credible third, 0.5 of a penalty behind runners-up Victoria Smith and Nutkin.

Jessica West and Mr Otto finished fourth with European Team Silver medallists Charlotte Bacon and the experienced campaigner Three Wells Breeze fifth on their dressage score of 53.4. The vast majority of combinations

medals has to be a record. This is the total number of medals won by Britain’s Junior and Young Rider teams in her three decades at team trainer.

Nearly every top-class British Event rider has, at some point, benefited from Gill’s wisdom and experience, including most of this summer’s Olympic Silver Medal winners.

“One of the most memorable teams I had included William Fox-Pitt, Pippa Funnell and Tina Cook, along with Daniel Hughes, who went on to command the King’s Troop,” says Gill.

That was in the late 1980s, but Gill was first approached by Colonel Hubert Allfrey, then chairman of the selectors for the Junior team, to train the Juniors in 1980. “I had just started training and was quite a novice at it,” she remembers.

But making it fun is important, as is getting on with them

“They hadn’t had a permanent trainer in the past.”

Young talent The first Young Rider European Championships was held the following year, and she was invited to start training the older age group as well. Gill trained the Juniors until 2002, and the Young Riders until 2011. What does she think is the key to managing young people – mostly teenagers – and getting them to achieve?

“Treating them as enthusiastic athletes who want to succeed, and giving them as much help as I could without changing their worlds, but moulding them into a team,” she says.

It is such a skill to handle emotional teenagers at the biggest Event of their lives to lessons with Gill when I was 15 or 16, and have been based with her for the past three years, since I came back from New Zealand.”

Positive influence For many years Gill’s yard was in Great Missenden. But when the lease expired three years ago she moved to a smaller base just three miles – instead of 20 – from her home. Now she rents from Bill and Penny Jarvis at Lower Lobbersdown Farm in Oxfordshire.

“Having consistent input from an expert like Gill is invaluable,” says Lucy. “She has a quietly confident way about her, is extremely astute and is a great judge as well as a great trainer.

She is quick to pick out key points, is a stickler for the correct basics and has got the knack of just saying what needs to be said, not filling you with too much information at a crucial point in a competition.

“It is such a skill to handle emotional teenagers at the biggest Event of their lives and to be able to get the best out of them, year after year.”

Fittingly, her final Young Rider team won Gold at the 2011 European Young Rider Championships at Blair Castle (pictured on page 48).

Gill, who originally trained as a PE teacher, says that she has always enjoyed training and working with young people, and loves the challenge of interlinking the three separate phases of Eventing.

Correct basic training, without taking shortcuts, is what she instills in her pupils. “I try to give them a good, solid base from which to develop,” she says. “But making it fun is important, as is getting on with them. I’m proud of the fact that I can consider practically everyone [who was on one of her teams] to still be a friend.”

She may no longer be team trainer, but Gill remains involved with the Lottery-funded World Class Development Squad and trains many riders, from Pony Club up to four-star level. The one she is probably most closely associated with now is Lucy Jackson, once a British Young Rider under Gill’s aegis and last summer’s reserve for the New Zealand Olympic team.

“My mother and Gill used to work together at Pat Smallwood’s yard at Radnage House,” says Lucy. “I graduated

www.britisheventing.com

The benefit of experience Gill was a member of the South Oxfordshire branch of the Pony Club herself, and won Burghley on Shaitan at the astonishingly young age of 20 in 1969.

“It was a fluke, really,” she says modestly. “I had a talented horse whom I had brought on, and we just happened to win Burghley.”

She continued competing for about 15 of the 30 years she spent training the Junior and Young Rider teams, but stopped when she found the commitment to training demanded all of her attention.

“I believe she is the most medalled under-21 coach in Europe in any sport, not just equestrianism,” says Lucy.

Gill was presented with a Lifetime British Eventing Award and honorary life membership by British Eventing’s President, Jane Holderness-Roddam, at Burghley this year. She is also a Fellow of the British Horse Society and an MBE. Her influence on the British teams of tomorrow may not be as direct, but it is still there — both Jonquil Hemming (the Pony team trainer) and Emma Fisher (Young Riders) are graduates of the “Gill school”.

Course description

Special notices

Isleham’s course runs over permanent flat, extremely well-drained grassland, with the only exception a man-made mound in the fens! The courses are a combination of inviting solid and portable fences designed to give confidence for early season with alternatives, where necessary at more difficult fences. We have an interesting water complex that rides well. Isleham is a good early season course, particularly for those bringing young horses. The unique going, black peat, means that we do not have to cancel and if it gets wet the ground is never holding. Every effort is made to ensure good going by an on-site designated team. After the success of the new Intermediate loop last year, Isleham has undertaken more work on all the four courses. The BE90 has a really new look with a new route and water complex. There are also changes to both the BE100 and Novice courses. The Intermediate entry to the water has been changed, as has the exit, with several other new fences throughout the course.

SJ Course Designer John Jacks XC Course Designer Clem Tompsett MBE and Philip Herbert

Course description The Eland Lodge cross country course is situated in the rolling Staffordshire countryside with both open mature grassland and woodland forming discrete areas of the course. At the meeting of two brooks, the site is a natural amphitheatre giving spectators the ability to see almost all of the course from the viewing point.

All of the obstacles are built to the highest possible standards with permanent fences having all weather take-offs and landings to aid horse and rider safety. Extensive works have once again taken place during the winter months to provide several changes to the course and more variation. Photographs of the various fences can be seen by visiting our website at www.elandlodge.com. The showjumping phase will take place on the Andrews Bowen Pro Wax Olympic Mix all weather surface.

Course description

Exceptional rain last year meant that we had to tow vehicles on to the site on the first day and to tow them off again. This resulted in mud being transferred onto the main highway and we had no option but to abandon even though we had fresh ground for the dressage, SJ & XC. This year we have a plan to mitigate against that same problem. In 2011 the ERA survey noted that Hambleden’s cross country courses are suitable for an improving horse or riders looking to move up a level and that the courses are bold. Fence design is considered to be innovative and the fences are always beautifully presented. The XC warm-up was highly praised and ground conditions scored highly despite challenging weather in the weeks beforehand.

The SJ courses were also well received with the SJ arena scoring 98% with competitors enjoying the fact that it is spacious and has well-dressed fences. Likewise the dressage arenas were felt to be “well situated” and the dressage warm-up was praised for having plenty of level ground. Hambleden received incredibly positive remarks, and all said that they would return and would recommend the Event, with comments: “despite the lack

of rain, the going was absolutely superb, the organisers had clearly made a massive effort to get conditions right and I applaud them for that!”, “overall a lovely Event and one of my favourites, horses definitely come away having learned something, good prize money!”

Course description

DRESSAGE - Flat, quiet and level permanent pasture away from all the Showjumping and Cross Country action with a large warm up area in a separate field.

“You did absolute wonders with the ground”, wrote a competitor in 2011, “especially doing (aerovating) the dressage warm up − an area usually overlooked but where we do the most work on our horses”.

“Nice big field with plenty of space”, reported a rider.

SHOWJUMPING – Large arena with generous warmup area on flat permanent pasture. The tracks will be up to height, straight forward and of medium technicality. “Big and spacious, ground had been worked on,“ commented one competitor, while another said: “reasonable test but not over(ly) difficult and flowed nicely”.

CROSS COUNTRY – Over undulating, well draining permanent pasture, the courses offer excellent viewing and are up to height, solidly built and are considered to be fair but challenging, rewarding forward and accurate riding. Full use is made of the undulating terrain including woodland, ditches, steps and a water complex. Some changes will take place in all three tracks as always. One competitor provided the following feedback to ERA in 2011, “fantastic conditions in this weather (very dry), nice up to height, strong course, with lovely water complex” and another simply said, “upper end for level and undulating, beautiful fences and rode nicely”.

EVENT – One competitor reported, “what a truly professional Event – beautifully organised, fantastic course(s), logistic(ally) run with military precision and overall a delightful atmosphere of happy, calm well run efficiency.” Whilst another said about 2011’s Event, “considering the lack of rain the ground in all three areas was fantastic. The Event was well

organised and the whole team friendly and helpful.”
