May Bank Holiday weekend competing.

Monday was Surrey County Show day, where the yearling A colt Floreat
Cosmos had his first outing and won his youngstock class, followed by
Res Res Ch behind the top two adults. He looked and went really well
in the hands of Liesl Burt and I'm very proud of him.

In a completely different discipline but no less exciting Gemma
Fletcher took the 5yo D gelding Floreat Jumping Jack to his first
ever one day event, including his first ever dressage test, and won
it with a double clear on top of a good dressage score, very well
done to them both. Gemma bought Jack as a baby and has broken and
schooled him herself and it gives me great pleasure to watch their
progress.

Liam Morgan and the A Floreat Kir Royale have qualified for RI as a
FR so good luck to them for the Final. Roy was sold as a youngster
at Fayre Oaks and I lost contact with him for a bit but his current
owners found me on FB and Liam seems to be doing a really good job
with him, more power to his elbow.

Roy's half brother Floreat Harvey Wallbanger (both ex Floreat Creme
de Cassis who is now running with the stallion for her third foal,
fingers crossed) has also been out and about - first hunting with the
Surrey Union, and then starting his showing career and proving to be
a useful WHP, now qualified for both Novice and Intermediate NPS
Finals. He has obviously inherited the family jump!

Floreat Sandpiper, another with whom I'd lost touch and whose current
owners found me on FB, qualified for the SE Dressage Chs at Hickstead
and came 6th in a big class at the Final.
