Not the day Dee had hoped for or that I had hoped either for this combination.
Well both Dee and kenny set out great guns looking very positive over the first couple of fences, they continued on to ride beautifully through Discovery Valley and then took longer route at fence 6 The Rolex Grand Slam Triple Brush and then again at the Holland Cooper Leaf Pit but they did them both in true Dee style – sleek and elegant, they got a huge jump over fence 9 the Flight Hangar but the Land Rover Trout Hatchery was not to be for Dee and Chequers Playboy it had caused problems throughout the day, yet they got a great jump in over the first oxer where many had to to grief but unfortunately kenny just looked a bit unsure at the second and he dropped a leg causing a pin to go and Dee decided to call it a day . It was a real shame as they looked to be going so well but I feel it was the correct decision and they can return another day.
Follow usToday didn’t go to plan but Kenny is absolutely fine and fit for another day . I will definitely be planning another three day before the end of the season as he hadn’t run too many minutes. He felt super up to the trout hatchery . He hasn’t had many runs since here two years ago and although he has plenty of mileage he just didn’t read the fence right . As he landed on the back rail I pulled up to make sure he was ok and save him for another day
