Congratulations to Milly Stride & Cuckoopen Merlin…who were also 6th and best Junior in the 2023 Performance points competition
“We enjoyed a busy year competing for NFPEC Junior Team and New Forest PC. The highlights of the year include competing at the British Riding Club Arena Eventing championships as part of the winning junior 80 team and 3rd place 70 team. A return to Aston le Walls for BRC Combined Training championships and individually placed 3rd in the 80, then on to the BRC Horse Trial championships at Swalcliffe Park and placed 11th in the very competitive 80 class. Even at 17, Merlin still loves the big occasions…and it is always a pleasure to represent the breed!” Milly Stride

“So proud of Milly and Merlin for their recent BD Dressage success…1st in their section and overall with 71% in prelim 17a at Sparsholt EC at only their third affiliated competition. The smallest pony and youngest rider in the class…totally unfazed by the massive horses in the warm up arena! And a lovely 2nd with 68% in their Novice Freestyle.” Lyndsey Stride
