Anwaar Al Adsani is more familiar with jumping 1.20m tracks on her own horses when at home in Kuwait. While on an extended visit to the UK she is riding at Lee Valley Riding Centre and jumping more modest heights on the riding centres own horses.
Lee Valley Riding Centre runs bi-monthly Show Jumping competitions for clients. The recent very wet weather meant that the April competition was held in the indoor arena. The outdoor arenas could not be used so competitors were allowed to warm up in the indoor arena with trot, canter for several minutes followed by two practice jumps. This reminded me of Inter-Polytechnic competitions that I competed in several years ago where I rode a horses that I had never ridden before with similar limits on the warm up on the flat and over jumps.
The video shows edited clips of Anwaar’s warm up and the jumping the course competitively.

I attended the Stallion Parade at Hartpury last Saturday. I was not sure what to expect as I have never attended a Stallion Parade before … but I have to be honest I enjoyed it even though I don’t have a mare or any plans to breed !
For anybody who, like me, has not attended a Stallion Parade before the format of the day is that each stallion is given around 5 minutes to do a brief display. The day is split into 3 sections Show Jumpers, Eventers and Dressage. The Show Jumpers and the Eventers have some show jumps & a few brush jumps in the arena and Dressage horses can do a Freestyle to music. Most horses are ridden but a few are shown in hand with some very fit riders running with the horses fast enough to show a nice extended trot The format of the day is therefore quite fast moving and with lots of big name riders it is an very entertaining way to spend a Saturday.
I arrived at Hartpury in time to see a few of the Eventers, including Ollie Townend riding Honour Cruise and all of the Dressage horses. One of the first Eventers that I saw was Woodlander Wesuvio and I am pretty sure that the commentator said Michael Eilberg was riding. Obviously, I know Michael is a very good dressage rider but he did a very good job over the show jumps as well. The first horse in the video is Michael riding Woodlander Wusuvio.
The format of the day meant that I was able to record a lot of good horses being ridden by top class riders. I enjoyed editing this video because I had a lot of excellent video clips which I really enjoyed putting together with a couple of good music tracks .. I hope you enjoy it …
Welfinprinz (Welfie) is a German warmblood dressage horse. Ellen Berchner-Nolan, who owns Welfie, asked Elma Sakoilsky to introduce Welfie to jumping. Elma and Welfie have had jumping lessons with both Tom Buckland & Tom Searle and Welfie’s jumping is coming on leaps and bounds The video of Show Jumping at Summerhouse on 17th Dec 2011 was only Welfie’s second show jumping competition. In the 80cm class he came 2nd. A fantastic result and well ridden by Elma who had to work hard – especially over the double.
