HENTON AFTER DARK AND BALMORAL HENTON SUCCESSFUL TAUPO THREE DAY EVENT

Henton After Dark (Anamour/Distelfink) and Sam Felton, took the lead in the dressage phase of the recent Taupo Three Day Event at CCI** level, they completed the cross country the following day to retain the lead. Jumping last in reverse order on day three saw one wee rail drop to put them in final second position in this prestigious Championship class. Balmoral Henton (Contendro I/Distelfink) ridden by Sim Kann competed this young horse in the CCI* class. They were within reach of the winner through out the competition and the final phase came down to, again, one rail. Albeit for that one rail this young horse, with a bright future, would have taken out the CCI*. So very close for both these horses ! Henton Lodge wishes both Sam and Sim all the best with their Henton horses for the coming spring season in New Zealand, after they have a well earned break. Photo is of Henton After Dark.
