🍀 Next up we have Hannah Fielding and Florentina🍀

Hannah gives us some back round:

“ I have had Florentina since she was a three year old, when I brought her back from Germany, only just backed.

I have done all the work myself with the help of some super trainers, in particular Heike who I have been with for a number of years. I go as often as her schedule allows.

We had a very successful start and Florentina has a number of National Champion titles, including Prelim, Novice, Elementary and last year at Advanced. We were also Reserve Champion at Hickstead in 2018 at Novice, a very proud moment for me!

In the last couple of years Heike has turned us inside out, I never imagined we would be at Prix St George level working towards Inter 1.”

Another fantastic partnership.

Application for Demo rider for Gareth Hughes Master Class Emma Dair 30/08/2024

🍀Our next partnership is Emma Dair and Esme .🍀

Our second rider at Preliminary for our master class.

Esme and Emma have been competing at Prelim and Novice level this year very successfully.

🍀Esme is an Irish Draught x Cob mare. 🍀

In Emma’s words:

“ Participating in an intensive masterclass like this offers a unique environment for accelerated learning. The concentrated training sessions, combined with immediate feedback, will enable us to make significant strides in a short period. This intensive format is ideal for identifying and addressing our weaknesses, thereby fast-tracking our improvement.”

“ The masterclass also provides an excellent opportunity to connect with other dedicated riders and enthusiasts. Engaging with peers who share the same passion for dressage fosters a sense of community and allows for the exchange of ideas and experiences. These interactions can lead to lasting relationships and collaborations that benefit all participants.”

“ Ultimately, my goal is to compete at higher levels of dressage and make a mark in the sport. Participating in this masterclass is a crucial step toward realizing this ambition. The skills, knowledge, and experience gained from training with Gareth Hughes will be instrumental in helping us achieve our long-term goals.
In summary, being a part of the Gareth Hughes and Leinster Dressage Masterclass is an opportunity to receive world-class training, accelerate our progress, and immerse ourselves in an inspiring and supportive environment. Esme and I are committed to making the most of this experience, and we are eager to demonstrate our dedication and potential.”

We are sure you will all agree the Emma has put it perfectly into words as to what this masterclass means and also what a fantastic experience this will be for riders and the crowd.

Nadine & Rosey 29/08/2024

🍀Our next partnership is Nadine Taylor and Heigh Ho Rosey (TIH).🍀

One of our Preliminary level combinations, for this masterclass.

In Nadine’s words:

“I am riding at preliminary level with my mare Horse Heigh Ho Rosey, we started to compete in Dressage Ireland this spring, but we also compete in riding club at P3 level.

I am originally from Switzerland but living in Ireland for the past 18 years. When I first arrived in Ireland I was working as a show jumping groom for an international Irish rider and got to travel the world as his head groom. I am now back working in an office environment and have horses as a hobby. I lost my confidence riding, after a bad accident, but am now back to my old self and found passion in Dressage, I am hard working and eager to learn so that I hope can move up through the levels in the future.

I purchased Rosey as a yearling as a companion for my old thoroughbred, She is a TIH, by "Heigh Ho Dubh" out of a "Crannaig Hero x Balinvella" mare.

Rosey is a very genuine, sensitive and trainable horse, always wants to please and do the right thing for her human.

It was a very slow road with her, as I am no professional and took my time to break and produce her, she had a foal as a 5 year old and only started her education as a riding horse after the foal was weaned.
2024 is her first year competing, she was completely overwhelmed at her first show, but improved every time out, the last 4 Preliminary test I rode her in she scored between 72% and 75% I am very fortunate to be able to call such a talented horse mine.“

Nadine’s introduction is definitely relatable having started in riding club and coming across to compete in dressage ireland.

Also showing how versatile the TIH (traditional Irish horse) is across all disciplines and being very competitive in dressage.

Our next partnership is Emily Kate Robinson Dressage and Edvaard.

Emily Kate is an international dressage rider for Ireland.
She has previously competed at pony European Championships, Nations Cups & gone through the pony, junior and young rider ranks.

In Emily Kate’s own words:

“Last October, I competed at my first international as a ‘Senior’ at small tour level with my horse Edvaard.”

About my horse:

“Edvaard is a 15yr old KWPN gelding by Christ. I bought Ed when I was 17, I had just finished my leaving cert and could not afford a ready made horse.

I bought him unseen for £4,750 off of Facebook. At the time everyone taught I was crazy, he was very difficult(!!) We started off competing at unaffiliated novice level together, we slowly went through the levels, we competed nationally at junior and young rider level, and now we are competing at Inter 1.

It has been a long road, but he has taught me so much, he was my first horse that I bought myself and my first horse to compete at this level. He has taken me to my first CDI as a senior, exceeding all of our expectations and he has taught me many life lessons. At our last show he scored 68% in the PSG & 69% in the inter 1.”

We are very excited to have this partnership as one of the demo pairings for this masterclass.
