Blair CCI3*L was not to be for Aimee Penny this year

 

Well the return to Blair for Aimee penny with Hirondelle de Fribios was not as she had expected. They set out well on the cross country and they set out with purpose! the mare looked to be jumping well and after her being dropped a level to regain confidence they looked like they were going to have a good run round, however this was not to be the case. They had a stop early on at fence 5 and then fence 6 the Timage Trakehner and straight after that another refusal at fence 7 the rail and ditch resulting in elimination.

We caught up with Aimee later on to find out her thoughts on it

not the run you were looking for Aimee?

No not at all, she was going really well, she has lost confidence round 4star  but just got to fence 5 and I don’t know what happened, she stopped, stopped at fence 6 and wouldn’t go near fence 7 so I don’t know.

Well you can come back another day this is horses for you

Yeah I mean I thought she has lost her confidence round 4 star as I say but I was planning on quite a good run here obviously its down a level and she was jumping double clear round a four star last year so its going to be a long road ahead i think

Will you head out anywhere else now with her this year?

Possibly Gatcombe and Osberton and just see how she comes out of she hasn’t done a lot, make sure she has a check over and see if everything is alright but that will be pencilled in I think

This is a blow for Aimee but I am confident they will return to Blair with Vengeance next year
