A very big congratulations to Carys and Patrick for coming 7th in their first international 4* competition.
We are all so proud and happy for you
Champions!
Patrick is enjoying his home comforts, he has the wonderful Carmen looking after his every whim, and Aunty Helen the Physio needing out his stresses in life.
He is being pampered like the Princess oops King he is!
Carys and Patrick are on at 11:45am for the dressage tomorrow.
Good luck, we are all behind you!
There will be some breaths held until you are out of the arena
Below is Patrick loving having his personal masseuse on hand
Patrick has been interviewed by the media - how awesome! Congratulations you wee rock star.
I did borrow this photo from the ESNZ Facebook page, so full credit to them.
Love seeing this teams faces popping up here and there.
Go the flying kiwis! 💪😍
Carys and Patrick are back together in Adelaide.
Patrick was a poor tired boy after his big flight, but has a few days before dressage
Patrick has landed in Melbourne, he has travelled well on the plane.
It’s was a very early start, but so pleased to hear he did really well!
Bit of a rest before he’s on a truck to Adelaide!
Photo from Cary’s of Patrick happily strolling onto the plane, taking everything in his stride!
Such a good boy
A quick stop on the way to Auckland to deliver a generous purchaser of the horse shoe ball and stretch Patrick’s legs.
Don’t they look great! Who doesn’t want to keep the hound?
We’ve made the decision to lower our fundraising goal from $14,000 to $1,000.
While the opportunity to compete is incredibly exciting, Carys is very humble and doesn’t feel comfortable asking for such a large amount of support. Instead, we’ve set a smaller, more achievable goal that reflects her desire to contribute as much as she can herself.
Any support—big or small—will still make a meaningful difference and is hugely appreciated as she works towards representing NZ at the Eventing Championship.
