A quick update from Strzegom’s October Festival (Poland), which also features a CCI4*-L competition that’s now being led by Britain’s Tom McEwen on Brookfield Future News, twice a winner already with Tom despite their short time together so far. The 11-year-old Irish Sport Horse gelding was previously ridden by New Zealand’s Tim Price as well as fellow Brit Piggy March. Dressage leaders Julia Krajewski and Tullabeg Platinum had a frustrating fall on course in which the horse lost his footing on takeover and slid through a frangible oxer, resulting in elimination. “Some days I love the sport more than others but I am always amazed by the heart and trust our horses put into it,” she posted on social media.
Full results from Strzegom can be found here.
