BD's Chair Desi Dillingham and David Holmes thank Kyra for a fantastic demonstration...


Each horse in various stages of training, shown sympathetically and clearly.... How is engagement requested and maintained? How does one create suppleness? Straightness? How does one begin to develop the ability to take the weight back? Little exercises to show how each horse is so diferent yet capable of absorbing and growing... wonderful! And the finale.... developing Piaffe and Passage..... as only Kyra can do! Many happy faces left this Gala on the final day of competition at The College Equestrian Centre Keysoe Bedfordshire UK...

so many wonderful techniques to try and perfect!


Judge Dr Ulf Muller and Damian Hallam enjoy the evening!

Lizzie Murray and the delightful Catherston Springsteen show great lateral ability and expression in their warm-up...

Kyra's common sense approach combined with such wisdom gained through experience was a joy to behold.

Polly Stockton and Tom Quigley gallop to a popular win

Sharon Hunt and Tankers Town, now on the GB WEG squad leap out of the water and go clear with 32 time faults to end what could have been a winning event for Sharon. Nothing is written in stone with horses and due to the fact that the horse had problems at the starting box ended her dream, but the horse did a fabulous x country and we look forward to his next outing.

Mary King, such a pleasure to watch.... soft, light and round, her preparation is second to none.
