What a start for the Castle Stables team into the new season!

The winter work paid out for Tori Rowe. Her incredible Lion Man is finally tamed with the right bit. Tori was double clear in the small GP and clear in all classes.

With Tamina she rode tighter turns, taking more risks but continued to achieve good results.

It was a pleasure to see her riding Miss Pippa controlling her big strides and the fun Pippa had to start the jumping season. It shows that Tori can manage all her horses easily. She takes the challenge to ride in the CSI3* next weekend.

Lauras BP Casablanca was motivated to an extend that he is hard to handle He can be spooky in the warmup, but in the course brilliant. They became a strong team trusting each other.

BP Queen of Hearts still needs more control to show her full potential. She will be more relaxed the next weekend when the first excitement is over.

The same is true for Tausendbachls Nasowieso called Vivi. She is energetic but able to solve difficult situations with her quick reaction and technique.

FW Cascadella was the “little queen” of the show demonstrating all her class and will to win.

Many ribbons are decorating our stable row plus a “coppa” for the 3^rd place from Vivi.

This is the result of an exceptional team effort.

From Alicia Stein keeping control of the organisation, the starts and the perfect appearance of the horses to Jeff Rowe helping to carry bales of hay into to stable.

Looking forward to the next weekend we enjoy the days in between living hearty moments and the Italian cheerfulness.
