My Miss Saigon

[tigers_eye]

Remember I heard she was up for sale after a succesful seaon last year, along with her rider's other horses (Jemma Kirk is it?). Anyway, I saw her (the mare) jumping in the 105 open at Patchetts yesterday with a new rider. In the flesh she is quite small, and rather plain, although obviously handsome is as handsome does of course! Her technique isn't wow, but you can see in her expression she loves jumping. Just thought people might be curious about what had happened to her.

Good day at Patchetts?

Not great ... Think will take both to Addington on Thurs to see if some improvement can be wrought! Kept my eyes open but their speaker system isn't very good so didn't ID the peeps you mentioned!

Jemma Kirk is now riding for Gillian Davis - Andrew's mum and doing really well.

Cool, bet thats one lucky rider!!

Is it a young rider by any chance??

Did she sell all her horses does anyone know?

 

[SJFAN]

Jemma has been with Gillian for quite a long while, and now rides horses for other people as well, including Perth who was ridden by Lynne Bevan last year. She is currently on the Spanish Sunshine Tour.

Jemma is a well-known young rider - she was non-travelling reserve for the Junior European Championship team last year.

Is Perth the horse that came joint first at the hand in the 2 fence challenge?

 

[SJFAN]

Yes that's right - a biggish bay.

 

[Joules]

I ment is the new rider a young rider!!

I wouldn't say so

, although always hard to tell when people have a hat on.... she had a couple of other horses in the class that looked very nice too.
