Paul Sims & Kingfisher Kingfisher’s first international Puissance competition was this past June in Bolesworthwhere he and Paul finished equal 4th. We are really looking forward to competing in Dublin. Bolesworth was the first time I rode Kingfischer, or ’Spud’ as we call him, in the ring. He is usually ridden by my wife, Hannah. He is feeling well and fit!

Elliot Smith & Flamboyant III Joint winners of the Bolesworth Puissance this year over a height of 2.21 m, setting the new Bolesworth Puissance record. Flamboyant came second in the Hickstead Derby with William Whitaker this year. I have had Flamboyant since he was a 3 YO so we’ve been together for 11 years. Together we’ve won 4 Puissances and have placed at shows including Horse of the Year Show, Arena UK and Liverpool. This will be our first time jumping a Puissance on grass but I’m excited to be handed over the reins as William Whitaker rode him so well at this show 2 years ago when I was off due to injury. I’m looking forward to the show and hoping to bring home some success!
