2023 season, Amigo is back in action and feeling on great form after his quieter year last season. He and Beau (Undalgo De Windsor) have aims for 3 and 4* this season with their first runs planned for March at Oasby and Thoresby. They younger horses Niamh, Hendricks and Crystal will have there first runs in April.

​

​

2022 season, Unfortunately Amigo picked up a small injury which meant he was out for the season but luckily Pip had a new ride Undalgo De Windsor who she campaigned at intermediate and 3* and finished the season at Little Downham Advanced. The younger horses all proved that they were established at the levels they were competing at and ready to go up a step. We were sad to see MB Buster go to his lovely new home but unfortunately we can't keep them all! We then moved into winter where we were busier than ever even with the eventers having a quieter time the hunters were in full flow!

​

2021 promises to be an exciting season, with a variety of horses. Alongside Snoopy and amigo, Pip has very exciting young horses, ready to start their affiliated careers, last years starters looking to prove their talent through the levels for local owners, as well as 2 beautiful homebred who will be aimed at unaffiliated competitions this year.

​

2020 started brilliantly with top horses Amigo (PRF Divo Mail) and Snoopy (Arctic Cruising) winning and placing 2nd at Lincolnshire Intermediate, in March. Their seasons ended there due to COVID, but they will aim for an early season start in 2021. Following the covid break, young horses Buster, Bruce and Magnus came out on fighting form to start their competition careers. Buster won his first 100, followed by two-second places and is showing lots of promise for the next level in 2021. Bruce, a particular yard favourite (pictured), was placed in the top 4 in all of his 100 events and equally shows exciting promise for his novice transition. 

​

2019 also proved to be a successful season for 22 year old Pip, both with the young horses and top horses Amigo and Snoopy. Amigo had a fabulous season over novice and intermediate courses, finishing the season on a high in 5th place in the 3* long format at Oasby International. Snoopy was delighted to be back out competing, running well throughout the summer. He finished with a  brilliant performance at Blair Castle Horse Trials for 11th place in the 3*.

Looking back:

Pip had great success in 2016, winning the Open Pony Club eventing champs on her own Arctic Cruising, a 16.3hh Grey Gelding, and the Scottish Novice championship on Game of Luck, owned by Miss Lauren Chaffey. Pip has represented Northern England at National competitions and in Ireland with Dunloughan Whirlwind and Arctic Cruising (Snoopy). 

​

In 2018, Arctic Cruising took a year off, allowing Philippa to concentrate on her up and coming younger horses. PRF Divo Mail, owned by Mr and Mrs Nixon, successfully moved up from Novice to Intermediate, completing his first CIC and CCI 1* events. He finished the season in great form, with a 5th in the Intermediate at Allerton Park , and 7th in CIC 1* at Alnwick Ford.
