Sinead led the charge Friday morning at Burghley by storming into the lead with the only score to break into the 30’s and Allison followed that up with a test just a little shy of the brilliance her and Arthur can sometimes bring to the table, but absolutely correct and accurate to fill the reserve spot right behind her with a score of 40.
Elizabeth Power sits in 30th place on a score of 51.5 with September Bliss and the common denominator is Maizey Manor, and lately some training with German dressage supremo Bettina Hoy, who herself rode a masterful test on Lanfranco TSF to lie 22nd. Bettina has been based there since Hartpury Horse Trials and it doesn’t sound like all those girls together are having much fun at all….
Actually this was the second version of the video; on the first one Bettina made no bones about her opinion that Sinead should have gone to London, although for the Germans, she added, it was a relief that Sinead didn’t go because she would have given Michael Jung a run for his money. Go Team Maizey Manor, and the “blondies”! Go Cross country at Burghley fast and clear, and Go Eventing!
