Cooley off the Record and Will Coleman won the advanced class this weekend at Carolina Horse Trials. This was the horse's debut run at this level so it was a fantastic feat. There was other successes too -
Liz Halliday was 2nd in the Open Intermediate with Cooley Quicksilver. Timothy Burke and Cooley Rockmaster were 2nd in the Open Prelim and there was a win for Paige Crotty and Cooley Dawn Raid.
Thanks Jenni Autry for the photo.

Piggy French returned to the saddle and won her opening event at Oasby on Cooley Monsoon. The Ramiro B gelding is owned by Jennifer Saunders and was campaigned by Beth Burton at Cooley Farm in 2016 while Piggy took a year out to have her son Max.
Lindsay Kelley and her impressive Cooley Cruise Control won their first CCI** at Virginia Horse Trials finishing on their dressage score. This was their first CCI** event. Other Cooley successes were with Cooley All Out and Benita Strini who were also attempting their first CCI** debut and completed really well. In the CIC** class Cooley Dream and Hannah Sue Burnett jumped a double clear and secured 3rd position. Lucia Strini also got a 3rd with MTF Cooley Classic in the CCI*.
Good weekend all round for Cooley Farm horses!
