Bury Farm, Beds | Sparsholt College, Hants
Lucy Amy’s PSG win at Sparsholt
with Extra Time was a boost ahead
of her international young rider
appearance at Le Mans CDI.
Lucy and the nine-year-old Good
Times gelding (Hughie) will make
their international debut later this
month. She works for grand prix
rider Richard Barrett.
“Since working for Richard, the
horses and I have learned such a
lot,” she said. “Hughie is becoming
more confident in indoor arenas,
too — we come from Jersey, where
there aren’t many.”
Lucy also qualified Hughie for
the advanced medium freestyle,
as well as winning the elementary
gold freestyle on her other horse,
Rudy, who has taken a back seat
while Lucy focuses on earning a
place on the young rider team.
At Bury Farm, Leah Beckett
was also a double winner on
Jacqueline West’s Sexy Back,
by San Amour, in the advanced
mediums, competing for the first
time in six months.
“She stayed with me despite
gale-force winds and flagpoles
rattling,” said Leah, who also won
the inter I with Tony Asker’s Apple
King. “Sexy’s self-carriage is so
much better as she has become
stronger — I was thrilled with such
a good performance after time off.”
Bruce Matthew’s Shamwari
Debonair (De Niro x Showstar)
returned to competition under
Leah to finish second in the

advanced medium 96.
“I rode him as a four-year-old
for Woodlander Stud; he has been
doing his licensing in Germany in
the meantime,” said Leah.

SOUTH-WEST
Bicton College, Devon | Stretcholt Farm, Somerset |
Badgworth Arena, Somerset
A horse who was given a 5% chance
of recovery after a severe foot infection
won an elementary at Bicton College.
After 13-year-old Camills Walter
stood on a fence nail which went
into his coffin joint, he was put on
an intravenous antibiotic drip.
“The wound was pressureflushed
every 48 hours, but it took
10 days before he showed any
signs of improving,” said Debbie
Summerfield, who rode him at
Bicton. “He had 12 weeks box rest
before we had any idea whether he
would be sound again.”
Debbie keeps Camills Walter,

replacement operations, she no
longer has full use of her left leg.
Geography teacher Kathryn
Oldfield and her 12-year-old
coloured cob, Lion Heart
Xanthius Of Phthia, headed both
the elementary silver and medium
bronze freestyle tests at Stretcholt.
Kathryn bought him as a foal
with an inheritance from her
grandmother.
“I was 18 and fell in love with
‘I fell in love with him as a foal in the field’: medium victors Kathryn
Oldfield and Lion Heart Xanthius Of Phthia are aiming for PSG
him in the field. I’m hoping
we’ll do our first PSG this year,”
said Kathryn, who created her
floorplan and music compilation.
Millfield pupil Bronte Monks,
13, who is trained by Pammy
Hutton, won both novices at
Badgworth Arena on her eightyear-old
Cuffesgrange Lord
Admiral, who is being aimed at
British Eventing pony trials.
“I’d love Bronte to become a
dressage rider as I won’t even walk
the cross-country courses — they
scare me,” said Bronte’s mother,
Jenni. H&H
