Hickstead CDI 11-14th May 2023

Hickstead was not quite the weekend we were hoping for, but sometimes the most successful shows are ones where you learn and not where you get the highest marks. Emaro and Maria had some beautiful moments and we can see where they are going. Onward and upward!!

Addington Premier League 28–30 April 2023

Emaro and Maria scored 67.4% in their first premier league inter 2. They made the top 10 against established riders like Andrew Gould (Team GB) and were one of only 2 non-British pairs to do so.

What a start to the season!!!

The hard work of the winter is beginning to pay off with Emaro and Maria scoring their best ever mark in an FEI test at Belmoredean in the Inter II.

Addington CDI1* 17 -19th March 2023

Emaro M and Maria had a good show to kick off the season with a great PSG and sound Inter 1. Their winter training showed in the quality of riding in both of the tests.

Maria will be riding mostly internationals this season and this was a good start!!

Hascombe 18th & 23rd February 2023

Emaro and Maria kicked off the season with two local shows at Hascombe Equestrian Centre over the last couple of weeks. After a hard winter of training, they were moving up the levels doing two Inter II tests.

Emaro M and Maria showed that preparation pays off with two personal bests at Bury Farm: their highest mark at inter 1 and their highest mark yet at a Premier League/High Profile show. In addition, they placed in inter 1 for the first time, coming 5th in their class.

So a great show for Emaro M and Maria who have had a wonderful season so far. Their first international is only 5 weeks away and will close out their 2022 season.
