Patsy Wins Suregrow Elementary Freestyle Regional Final

Dressage trainer, Patsy Bartram, has qualified her six-year-old gelding, Greenacres Cadiz, for the prestigious British Dressage Winter Championships.

Patsy and Darcy, as he is known at home, took the Suregrow Fertiliser Winter Elementary Freestyle Regional Champion Gold title on an amazing score of 74.74% at Bishop Burton College.

The smart 16.1hh Warmblood x Irish black gelding excelled in his class. Darcy has been with Patsy for two and a half years, during which she broke him in.

Said Patsy: “Darcy had a fantastic day winning two classes. I felt so lucky. He performed a good test and the judges really liked his classic swing music. I am very excited for the championship.

“Darcy is a strong, powerful and accurate horse that has a very promising future ahead of him.”

Said Jonathan Cox of Suregrow Fertiliser: “We are delighted to sponsor this championship. It’s brilliant to see such a high standard of competitors, and our congratulations go to Patsy and Darcy.”
