Lower Stockland Farm

Lower Stockland's dressage duo of Tina Phillips and Mister O were off to a flying start at the recent summer Regionals at Sparsholt Equine College in Hampshire.

Mister O had been off for 6 weeks and had only come back into work 6 days before. This made his performance even more special. For the whole day he stayed at 2nd place right up until the last competitor's test and missed out by just 1% to qualify for the Nationals.  

Tina says, "He felt really good considering he's been off for so long and boy did he turn some heads at the show.  This was my first ever regional championship and again he did not disappoint, I had 3 judges and each one smiled as soon as he entered the Arena.  He couldn't have gone any better, he went so well given all the odds and also the long journey as we have never travelled that far before."

The very proud owner adds, "Athough I was gutted, I was so pleased as I never thought he would come 3rd out of a class of 29 with some strong competition.  Once all the regionals are over I am hoping we are lucky enough to gain a wild card.  Fingers crossed. "
