Burghely Horse Trials 2009

Monday, September 07, 2009 - Joanne Bridgman
Zara Phillips on her NZ eventer Glenbuck.Monday morning and up  early to check results of Burghley HT in UK. It was such exciting news to read  Polly Stockton jumped clear SJ to finish 2nd on Mossy
 ( Westwood Poser ) , the talented  10 yo irish gelding by Master Imp. 
I am so thrilled for Polly and loyal owner Arthur Comyn. As Polly rides Quincey for me I am closely involved with Team Stockton and one of her biggest supporters !!!
Another horse  we are  thrilled to see in top placings was SS Jett ridden by Karin Donckers of Belguim.  QNZH sold this horse as a 4 yo , and is wonderful to see he has fulfilled his expections of being a top 4* horse.  Scored a 48 dressage and one of the few double clear jump rounds  ( some time xc only ) to finish 13th.

NZ started with a flourish in the dressage  to be standing 2nd ( Andrew Nicolson on Nereo ) , 3rd  ( Caroline Powell on Lenamore ) and 14th ( Neil Spratt on Hugo's There III).  
Sadly we drifted back in the placings but Caroline still finished in top 10 on  8th with  her wonderful campaigner Lenamore.  Their 2 rails SJing were costly moving them from 2nd down 6 placings.  It was considered a tough xc track this year with 25 horses being eliminated or retiring out on the xc .
