Laura Collett wins Chatsworth Horse Trials
Laura Collett riding London 52 has won the first leg of the Event Rider Masters at Chatsworth House International Horse Trials. Laura started their campaign on a dressage score of 26.9 and then jumped a clear round in the show jumping. Together they then jumped clear cross country with only 7.6-time faults to add to their dressage score to win the competition 4 points ahead of the rest of the field.
In an interview after the event Laura stated “That horse is unbelievable. He’s finished second so many times and he only started at CCI4* S last year. I just can’t believe it! I’m the luckiest girl in the world to sit on London 52. Three years ago, he’d never seen a cross-country fence – he’s come a hell of a long way, so roll on the future!”
