FEI WBFSH Eventing World Championship for Young Horses

24th October 2021

What a fabulous week in France at the six-year-old World Championships!
Headley’s Deluxe stepped up to the plate in style, starting with a 33.6 dressage score. He then gave Gio a fabulous cross country round, over a spooky track, coming home clear inside the time.  A single pole down on the final day over an influential showjumping course left the pair in 16th place. Very exciting for the future!

Now it is time for a well deserved holiday in the field!

Osberton International Horse Trials and Young Horse Championships

Headleys Deluxe's penultimate event of the season did not disappoint.  Competing against the best 6 year old event horse's in the UK, Ralph delivered a strong performance, just adding a pole to his dressage score after a fast cross country round.

This has been an excellent prep run ahead of his trip to France in a few weeks where Headleys Deluxe has been selected to represent Italy under Giovanni Ugolotti at the 6 year old FEI WBFSH Eventing World Championship for Young Horses.  We are so proud of Ralph, Gio and the entire team who have helped us get this far!

It was fantastic to see Ralph step up to the challenge and look forward to seeing how he progresses throughout the rest of the season.

Dauntsey Horse Trials

22nd July 2021

On a blisteringly hot day, Headleys deluxe was on fire in the Novice at Dauntsey!  He lead his section on a 23.5 dressage!  Due to the heat and hard ground he then delivered a very steady double clear, but even with 10.4 time penalties cross country it was still good enough to finish in 3rd place!

We were also thrilled to see all 4 of team Cranford Stud's horses jump double clears on sub 25 dressage scores.

Next week Headleys deluxe heads to Burgham International Horse Trials to contest his first CCI2*-S.
