    Exciting action at CHIO Aachen

    Whatever your equestrian sport of choice, CHIO Aachen has you covered. Among the highlights from this year’s show was a new dressage star bursting on to the international scene, and Becky Moody producing a personal best. The Kiwis came to the fore in both the team and individual eventing competitions, and there was a dream win for one of the world’s top showjumpers as he took the prestigious Rolex Grand Prix of Aachen after an epic 11-way jump-off.

    A brilliant proposal

    When Victoria Lundy’s boyfriend of five years Saul Hayden asked her to put a blindfold on and led her across the field, at Victoria’s family’s Croft Top Equestrian Centre in Lancashire, she thought her might have bought her a new horse. But when Victoria removed the blindfold, Saul was down on one knee, and her “horse of a lifetime” Rolex II Van Berkenbroeck Z was standing next to him wearing a rug embroidered with the words “Will you marry me?” Having said yes, she joked that there is still time for him to buy her a new horse.
