Vanita had been invited to take part in the Champion of Champions at Brightwell Auction this weekend and we were getting very excited about the trip.
This is a new competition run by invitation only, for horses that were bought from the auction and had won a championship.
The classes were all to music with levels; Medium, Advanced Medium, and Prix St Georges.
Vanita’s management means he has to have his time in the field and in the week in the run up to the event he managed to hurt himself.
We were so keen to go that we offered a reserve choice in the form of Whispers, bought from the auction by Laura Woodcock with the view to do Young Riders when the mare was ready.
She has won the Regional’s at Preliminary and Novice and was placed second and third at the Nationals and has a temperament to die for. However, she has never done a medium test before, but we thought the experience would do her good.
"What can I say" said Hannah, "she was superb. The judges say what they think over the microphone for the information of the audience and the comments nearly reduced Laura to tears!"
"Vanita’s music went with her footfall perfectly, and she gave me a lovely error-free test. She finished third in a class full of Advanced Medium champions. We certainly enjoyed the celebrations afterwards!"
