Another successful Al Shira'aa Bolesworth Young Horse Championships
Keep saying this but we are so grateful to Laura Mantel for not only riding our horses but winning on them! Today she won the 5 year old Championship at Bolesworth with Michelob (Tangelo van de Zuuthoeve x Orlando) the same final his full brother Labatt won last year and a few years ago his other full brother BINTANG won the 7 year old Championship! All British bred by the Bleekman family. Obviously some good genes there and I hope I recover well enough to ride these young stars. For those of your who don’t know I have had surgery on a broken pelvis and femur which I broke badly in a fall 6 weeks ago. It’s going to be long road to get back to where I was but with horses like this to inspire me I hope to be back in the saddle sooner rather than later.
Also exciting for our home breeding programme NFS Gem Twister (Murkas Gen Twist x Burgaraaf) was 3rd in this final. None of this would be possible without the back bone of our team, John, who is the driving force behind all of us #teamrenwick thanks also the Beth Byfield Ciara Miller and James Ironton for looking after them all so well and to all the team at home 🙏🏻
