Superstars Nicola and Opposition Buzz Win at Barbury CIC***
Nicola Wilson's berth on the World Equestrian Games eventing team seems secure after she won the St James' Place Wealth Management Barbury CIC*** with the infallible cross-country machine, Opposition Buzz.
Wilson, for whom this was only a second ever international win, has focussed on dressage since Badminton, and it showed. The partnership's 45pen score was good enough for third place going into cross-country. This enabled them to capitalise on the cautious time of Pippa Funnell (Redesigned) and cross-country error of Andrew Nicholson (Avebury), her only two opponents for the £4,000 first prize.
"A place for Kentucky would be lovely, but I am just thrilled with how the horse went," said Nicola, 33. "He did his best dressage score by far here, and he just tried so hard. He's always been a fantastic horse to ride."
Everyone at McIvors is delighted at their achievements and wish them and all connections, all the best in the near future.
