Team Fredericks on top!

Husband and wife team Lucinda and Clayton Fredericks are having a great 2011 season to date, and with Badminton and Kentucky fast approaching, we’re keeping everything crossed that their great form continues.

Lucinda has just returned from Compeigne where she and The Navigator took 6^th place in what was a really strong field of competitors.  Clayton didn’t journey across the Channel, but won the AI at South of England with Bendigo, and came 3^rd with Dunges Laurent Rose, a horse that’s on the Badminton wait list.

“Lucinda’s getting ready to take Prada to Badminton, and I’m taking Be My Guest II to Kentucky,” says Clayton.  “Be My Guest II was due to compete at Badminton but I also entered her for Kentucky to have the choice should the funding become available as it’s expensive to take horses to Kentucky.  That said, it’s a great opportunity for us and for our saddlery, which is proving really popular over in the USA.

“Things are currently a bit of a logistical nightmare with horses and people going to various different competitions- but we’re hoping everyone does really well at their various events.”

Prada finished the 2010 season with 9^th place at Blenheim and has two runs this year pre Badminton. 

Be My Guest II finished last season with a 3^rd at Burghley and has had four runs this year including at 5^th place at Fontainebleau.

Team Fredericks are Mitavite Partner Riders with their whole team being fed on a combination Mitavite’s Rice Based feeds and performance supplements.
