Woodge Fulton and Captain Jack. Photos by Kate Samuels.
“Like a hardcore spider monkey” is the phrase EN eyewitness Kate Samuels used to describe Woodge Fulton’s save-of-the-day at the $100,000 Land Rover Wellington Eventing Showcase. When Captain Jack tipped the top of fence 6 the situation looked grim, but through a feat of athleticism and sheer grit Woodge managed to keep the horse between herself and the ground.
Way to stick it, Woodge!!! #spidermonkey

They ended up finishing clear with time and — most importantly — a big grin. Woodge’s mental and physical tenacity impressed us all, including John Nunn from Bit of Britain, who offered her a sponsorship! It just goes to show that anything can happen when you refuse to give up and just keep kicking!
Well-played, Woodge. Go Eventing!
