While June is all about the Melbourne International 3 Day Event where Stuart is at the moment, let’s have a quick look back at the past two months.
April and May were two great months for Team Tinney with Caruso taking second place at Tamworth International in the 2* and then backing that up at his first 3* at Quirindi with eighth place. Viennese (Vinnie) took sixth in the 3* and Fernhill Aisling Star (Ashlee) was seventh in her 2* run.
Moving into May at Equestriad (Camden), Stuart rode Vinnie for a win in the CCN4* and Caruso also claimed a win in the CCN3*. Both horses had to have starts at the national star levels as Stuart was the FEI Course Designer for the international classes and therefore not allowed to compete in the international competitions.
Fun fact! Did you know that we upload our videos from our competitions on our YouTube channel – you can check them out here
Gemma and Hilly UK travel news
Time flies when you are having fun but the great news for mum and dad is that Gemma is only months from coming home!
What an experience she has been having - horse riding, travelling and gaining independence over in the UK. But by all accounts Gemma is keen to get back on Australian shores and get back on the Aussie eventing circuit! Gemma has made huge progress by herself in the UK and her horse PSH Hilton (Hilly) will return soon, ready for some events at the end of this year.
In the meantime, Gemma will spend the next few months working in different yards, where she can ride lots of horses, see how other professionals run their yards and expand her knowledge as much as possible before she arrives home. I am sure there will be some travel in there too!!
