Judith Luff and Zara’s Classicals Euro Star (Casper) made an impressive start to Blenheim Palace International Horse Trials this weekend. Casper has only made a handful of 4* starts and he performed a fantastic dressage test for a score of 30.4. He then powered round the cross country course for just 3.2 time faults and into 7th place on the leader board. Sadly he ended up with a sore foot after cross country, so the team made the decision to withdraw him from the showjumping phase on Sunday. Casper is at home and he is doing well. Although it was an unfortunate end to Blenheim, he was a superstar all week and we are really pleased with his performance at this level.
Casper competed his first event of the 2023 season on Saturday 22nd April at Kelsall Hill International in the Advanced Intermediate.
After a great dressage test and clear showjumping, Casper had a confident and clear run cross country with just a couple of time penalties.
Hopefully Casper will step up a level to Advanced on his next run.
You can watch his dressage test and showjumping round in the videos below.
Classicals Euro Star delivered an excellent performance at Wellington International, coming 2nd in the Intermediate.
With a strong start in the dressage on a score of 27.7, Casper showed his scope in the jumping phases, with a double clear and finishing on just 0.4 time penalties after the cross country.
