Tim and Kevin are both entered in various classes with Kevin riding Dustman and Tim riding GV Billy Elliott in the CCI3*. Following his disappointment at Blenheim in GV Billy Elliott’s dressage test, Tim told us he would re-route to Ballindenisk and he also has Napoleon VIII in the CCI2*and Wild Duchess in the CCI1* while Kevin is also competing Lucinda Feredericks’ Shelter Cove in the CCI2*and Fernhill Quality Street in the CIC3*
Kevin’s partner Emma Dougall, who also withdrew her horse Belcam Bear after the dressage at Blenheim won’t be competing here but is aiming her talented 10 year old for Boekelo in October
