onTop Star C
Laura and Top Star C have taken France by storm, picking up FOUR wins in the 7 year old classes.
Top Star C (Big Star x Draco) has been making waves in his very first international trip to France. Owned by Ian and Sue Clark, this promising young horse jumped clear in 11/12 classes, across Gassin and Barbaste, in the south of France.
Now Laura, Top Star C and the other members of team Renwick, are headed back to the UK for some well earned rest and relaxation, ahead of what's looking to be a very exciting season. What a pair!
Pictured above are Laura and ENJOY CK Z flying through one of their many top placing rounds in Oliva, Spain. Including a win in the CSI2* - Gold 4 - Grand Prix
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 🙏🏻
