Off To France

Bill LevettIt’s been a busy time today at home riding horses and then getting organised for my final event of the season, Le Lion dā€™Angers in France. I’m currently sat at the docks with Womble, Ali (his owner) and Eleanore waiting to board the ferry. Le Lion is always a good event based at a race course in France, a beautiful setting, and they put on a great event. It has a real ā€˜championshipā€™ feel ā€“ something we could really learn from here in the UK I feel. I know it costs a lot to put on events but the French do know how to create a competitive yet entertaining atmosphere and draw in the crowds.

Iā€™m hopeful for a good run on Womble this week and have a small sweepstake running with all of the girls as to where he will end up ā€“ all will be revealed next week and Iā€™ll let you know who wins the wine. Womble is a great jumper, his dressage is still work in progress but Iā€™m sure he will come on from the experience and he is ready for a two star ā€“ so Iā€™m looking forward to it all.

We will be travelling overnight from Portsmouth to Caen and then have an early morning drive tomorrow to Le Lion dā€™Angers, and hope to be there by lunchtime at the latest.

Will keep you posted.

Cheers,

Bill
