EAST
Centaur Trust, Suffolk | Easton & Otley College, Norfolk
Elli Darling and Fix Up Look Sharp
collected two advanced medium
wins at the Centaur Trust.
The 11-year-old Rhinelander
gelding by Showmaker x
Frühlingstraum II was competing
at his second show after his winter
holiday, and picked up the highest
scores of the day, winning both
advanced mediums on 71.76%
and 71.71%.
“He’s feeling really good. We
stupidly made the decision to
sell him last year, but I obviously
wasn’t thinking straight.
Fortunately, he failed the vetting,
and got to stay,” said Elli, who
runs Darling Dressage in
Stradbroke, Suffolk.
“He’s now just getting fit
enough to get back out at PSG and
then, hopefully, we’ll be debuting
at inter I in the near future.”
Tahley Reeve-Smith posted
a show-high of 77.5% in the
novice freestyle at Easton & Otley
By SELENE SCARSI
College, riding Sarah Carmichael’s
six-year-old Lord Leatherdale
daughter Hoemathika M.
“We call her ‘Happy’ at home
as Sarah says her competition
name sounds like a blood
disorder,” joked Tahley.
“I had her at the winter
championships last year, where
she was fourth, and then again
to bring her back into work after
she had a break, as my hacking is
amazing and Sarah was booked in
for an operation. We received an
email saying she had qualified for
the regionals, so we got a wiggle
on — this was her first show since
May,” explained the rider, who will
be giving the ride back to Sarah
after the regionals.

CENTRAL
Addington Manor EC, Bucks | Barleyfields, Derbys
A two-and-a-half hour trip from Essex
to Addington Manor paid off for Katie
Roberts and Nemo VII, who landed a
double novice silver win.
Former PE teacher Katie hadn’t
competed since the regionals
last summer due to work
commitments, so was thrilled with
her eight-year-old home-bred.
“He’s 17hh, so I’ve given him
loads of time and only started
competing him last year,” Katie
said of the gelding by Showmaker.
“He’s better each time and is
taking things on board. He trusts
me because we’ve done everything
together from the start.”
Katie, whose horses are based
at Bluegate Hall in Essex with her
trainer Kaye De Graaff, left her job
as a teacher to embark on a new
By STEPHANIE BATEMAN
career in sports events.
“I used to have to work
Saturdays and couldn’t take time
off during termtime, which limited
the amount I could compete, so
I’m having a go at another career.”
Despite falling down the stairs
and cracking three ribs a few days
before, Kathryn Crinson headed
both novices at Barleyfields with
her Irish draught, Embla Maxwell.
Kathryn has owned the
18-year-old gelding by Maurice
Minor for 12 years.
“This is our first attempt
at regionals and I’ve only got
four points left to qualify,”
said Kathryn, who trains with
Charlotte Thomas.
‘He’s better each time’: Katie
Roberts’ long journey pays off
with a double win at novice with
her eight-year-old home-bred
Showmaker son Nemo VII
