Peter to jump in the DFS Hickstead Derby

Peter is jumping live on BBC television this coming Sunday at the Hickstead Derby on Atlants II. Experience of Hickstead's testing derby course — which takes in the famous Derby Bank, water, double of ditches and Devil's Dyke — is invaluable and previous winners entered in the trial include 2005 winners Ben Maher and Alfredo II as well as Peter Charles, John Popely and John Whitaker.

Well done Ruth!

Ruth Edge scores her first four-star win to head a British whitewash at Luhmühlen in Germny. Riding Two Thyme she finished ahead of the Germany's Dirk Schrade on Gadget De La Cere.

We would like to pass on our congratulations to Ruth who receives showjuming coaching from Peter.

Peter and Oli did the Full Monty!

Thank all those who turned out at Rodbaston and Myerscough to watch the Full Monty Demonstration.

Peter said "...We had a great evening at both venues, and we are sure that we will be arranging further dates in the future..".

The audience were treated to some excellent training tips and demonstrations, not to mention the race at the end of the show where the boys re-entered the arena in "Full Monty Style". We will keep you posted for any further dates.

My family and I would like to wish everybody happy new year and hope you're all ready for the new season.
The last six or seven weeks we've been working on getting the horses fit after their well deserved rest following last years busy schedule.
This year looks like its going to be busier than ever with a full schedule of shows and training dates.
We aim to start at the first winter premier show at Southview Equestrian at the end of January and carry on through the premier series till the start of the summer season.

Peter part of the eventing scene

Over the last 18 months, I have been working with the British Event Team as the showjumping trainer alongside Kenneth Clawson, which I find very enjoyable and interesting. I feel I have also learned a lot working alongside a different set of professional equestrian people and a different sort of horse.
I find the organisation and the professionalism of the event team second to none.

Murphy and Townend team up

Oliver Townend and I have teamed up and are doing two demonstrations. They are going to be an evening of fun and education with a bit of everything, including dressage, flatwork for jumping, cross country, showjumping.
Should be a great night out, why not come along and see us.

Peters' new sponsorship deal

I am pleased to say this year I have a new saddle sponsor, Devoucoux, probably the best saddle I've ever sat on. If you're interested in trying or buying a Devoucoux saddle dont hesitate to contact me.
