Wow! What an amazing day. Monty (Hartpury Take It 2 The Top -pictured) came 7th, he was just on Top Form! Then Top Gun came 5th in the 5 year olds.Both finals were in front of a big crowd in the main arena, what an atmosphere for baby horses to cope with and they were wonderful. Monty got pulled in 3rd and we were stood in line next to Mark Todd. He asked about Monty and I said he was 2nd at Homme on Weds, Mr Todd said he was entered for that but withdrew as he hadn't realised the 4 year olds had to go XC!
The judge advised Top Gun showed the best gallop and the BE facebook page reported I was placed on both my horses sandwiched in between the big names!!
The commentary gave their sire "Take It 2 The Limit" loads of publicity and the boys did a great job showing the large crowd how good his progeny are going to be.
Fantastic! Your Two Little Boys certainly know when to rise to the big occasion and my, how they've grown up in the past few weeks.Do you remember us going to Gatcombe years ago as spectators, awe-stricken by the household names competing - and now here you are, up there with the big-timers! Well done, Stella the Star,you really deserve this success and the 2LBs are a credit to you!
