Aurum Rivière d'Or goes showjumping!

4 year old Aurum Rivière d'Or (Patch) went to his first showjumping competition on Saturday 7th March. Prior to this he had only jumped three times and only ever seen 2 jumps together so it was a big experience for him to see all the activity of a showjumping day. He was a little surprised in the first round but learns so incredibly fast that he behaved like an old hand for the second and third rounds! He has such a super temperament that he took it all in his stride and seemed to enjoy himself. He shows a very nice natural technique over a fence too, which is of course helped a lot by his fantastic balanced canter. We were talking to Heath Ryan yesterday about this little excursion and he told us that a number of classes at the recent Sydney Horse Trials were won by Regardez Moi progeny. In England Matt Ryan has a Regardez Moi eventer which has recently gone Advanced.
