After a good first day, on Franklins Flyte Grant
went onto gain third place in
the 2* International Trial earning
double points.
With confidence high he took Gold Crown into a
speed ride and drive class. Gold
Crown a good speed horse
went clear in a fast time over the eight fence
course,then came
the second part of the competition, driving at speed in a
brand
new Renault through cones. Well, not being able to use studs
in this
section of Mr Crashmore took the final turn too fast and
ended up embedding the brand new car in the arena fence, to the
delight of the audience. Officials
however have advised
Grant to stick to horses in the future! |

Cashmore's Visit to Guernsey |
Well what a weekend!
Grant was invited to
Guernsey by the Riding & Hunt Club for an evening talk and
training for their members. Although the weather was not very kind,
Grant had an enjoyable and successful weekend. First thoughts for Grant
were how lucky the club are to have such fantastic grounds to train
and compete at, the set up was brilliant. Riders all listened and
tried, mostly achieving the target set for them.
Will we
be back
Most
definitely! Grant was
very impressed with hospitality and riding. He spoke of the similarities
between his homeland and Guernsey, stating that the riders had the
same problem. They
cannot easily compete or train, as they are cut off from the main
competition. If he had
not had a break with Ian Millar in Canada he would never had been
able to go on and compete at the Olympic Games.
Grant is passionate about helping
others achieve their ambitions. Therefore with the help of
the Riding Club & BSJA, Grant and his team are setting up a
scholarship to bring talented riders to his yard at Alfold for
intensive training and to taste major competition.
Jan Coomer and her committee are
already working on the scheme.
Gerrie Cashmore & Teresa will be back over on the
21st and 22nd of May to formalise rules and
advertise the scholarship.
Gerrie will also conduct training over
the two days before Grants next visit.

Prix win competing in the 2005 Sunshine Tour. Grant had been
hoping to get back to
New Zealand to compete at the Horse of the
Year Show. He had been competing in Spain for five weeks on
his team of horse's.
Grant riding Susan Lajtha's Horse
Franklins Flyte said "the course was very technical with only 2
double clear rounds in the competition. It consisted of two
doubles one after another, one being very long which caught out 82
of the starters in the class. Just four went through to the
jump off".
Grant is delighted with his latest
result.
After resting his horses, Grant will be competing in
the
UK. |
