Day three of Chepstow Summer International kicked off with some fantastic Grand Prix action!

Georgina Ellis claimed top spot in the Small Tour Grand Prix with Croisiere, while Madison Heath and Ivory took the honours in the Medium Tour Grand Prix. 🥇

But the girl who stole the show today was Abigail Isaac, claiming not one but TWO titles in the Bronze Tour Grand Prix with Lady Jamie and Renkum Crossfire in the Silver Tour Grand Prix! The girl is absolutely on fire! 👏🔥

That's a wrap on Day Two of The Chepstow Summer International...

What a way to round off the first of our two Longines World Ranking classes, kindly sponsored by our fantastic friends at Equestrian Surfaces!

The weather finally decided to play ball, clearing up just in time for all 76 combinations who came forward to tackle Rafael Suarez’s testing course. With just 11 making it through to the jump-off, the pressure was on!

Sandy McLean & Gino F rose to the challenge in spectacular style, producing a brilliant round to take the lead — and they held on to it!

Last to go, Sally Goding & Spring Willow gave it absolutely everything in a thrilling attempt to sn**ch the win. They pushed Sandy all the way, but ultimately had to settle for a fantastic second place.

A huge thank you to Equestrian Surfaces for their continued support and sponsorship of our World Ranking classes. We’re incredibly grateful to have you alongside us and helping us put on such fantastic sport!

And that’s not all… 👀

Tomorrow, we head into the first of our Grand Prix classes and if today is anything to go by, we’re in for an absolute cracker!

It's one win each for Wales (128cm) and Ireland (138cm), and two for England (148cm and Debut Teams) in today's incredible Home Pony team competitions.

Fresh from the Senior British Showjumping Team's Home Nations Cup victory, today's pony classes at Wales & West proved that the future of our sport is in very safe hands. The standard of riding, determination, and talent on display was simply outstanding.

A special mention goes to Tilly Wilson and Rinwood Louis, who were the only combination to produce a triple clear in the Pony Newcomers Second Round over Rafael Suarez's expertly judged course. A fantastic performance.

Welsh Midsummer Festival... where do we even begin? ❤️

This show threw one of the biggest challenges we’ve ever faced, but it also gave us one of the warmest, most supportive atmospheres we’ve had the pleasure of being part of.

We want to say a huge thank you to every single one of you. As James said, so many of you had your plans disrupted, packed the lorry in unbearable heat, got up at ridiculous times in the morning, and went above and beyond just to be there with us. We never take that for granted, and we are so incredibly grateful for every single one of you who supported us.

A special thank you also goes to everyone who showed us such kindness, patience and understanding during circumstances that were completely beyond our control. The only thing we were ever guilty of was putting our horses’ welfare first, and the support you showed us during that time meant more than words can say.

To everyone who came to watch, stopped for a chat, or simply showed their support – thank you from the bottom of our hearts. It’s people like you who remind us why we do what we do.

We truly hope you all had an amazing weekend, because despite the challenges, we certainly did.

We look forward to seeing you all again soon! ❤️🐴
