Jack joined East Cheshire Pony club and was a regular on their teams, further enhancing his rosette tally with some excellent results.
Jack soon realised that 1 day/3day eventing was the route that he would like to take. This involves dressage, show jumping and cross country elements and is a huge test for both rider and horse. Courage and technique is essential and both Jack and Phoenix Storm showed these in buckets. It also became clear to both ourselves and to others watching that Storm under the excellent guidance of Jack had a huge amount to give, something that seemed inconceivable when he was first purchased.
Jack rode pre-novice at Somerford, a tough course, and completed the cross country in style. Storm looked like he would have been quite happy to go again!!
