Following the Rio Olympic Games Shane Rose decided to leave his three 4* horses, Shanghai Joe, Virgil and CP Qualified, in England but will be re-joining them early in the 2017 UK eventing season. However it does mean that he will be clocking up the frequent flyer miles and he explains how he will campaign for four UK/European CCI4* events as well as continuing to bring on his young horses in Australia
“We spent so much money getting the horses over there, we thought that maybe we should spend a bit more and keep them over there for another season. I’m really fortunate having good friends that are going to help me out, with Sam Griffiths and Chris Burton keeping my horses and helping get them ready for me – I couldn’t do it without them”
“I think with the horses being over there, settling in and having a full season getting used to the conditions means that they will cope a lot better”
