While we didn’t have our traveling writer/photographer extraordinaire Jenni out in force last weekend at Barbury, we were blessed to be able to access incredible amounts of information through the Barbury International Horse Trials FB page! I absolutely love when social media gives me the inside scoop on happenings around the world, and Barbury did a fantastic job of letting us feel like we were actually there.
Huge congrats to World #1 Andrew Nicholson, who pretty much at this point seems close to unstoppable (Michael who?) and brought home first prize for the second year running on the same horse, Avebury. Also phenomenal was Piggy French who added only 0.8 time penalties to her dressage score to win Section B of the CIC3*, narrowly topping US rider Clark Montgomery, who placed second. Rebecca Howard also kicked butt finishing right behind Clark, so go North America!! Haven’t read the full report? Check it out HERE.
For now, enjoy these photos collected from the internet for your enjoyment. All of the photos are from Barbury FB page, unless otherwise noted.
