Piggy March riding Cooley Lancer at Keysoe International. Keysoe (4), Beds, 25–27 September
Piggy March was on flying form at Keysoe’s international showcase, dominating the feature three-star and also coming home with two-star honours.
She partnered Cooley Lancer to victory in the Keysoe Boutique CCI3*-S section C for Lancer Stud owners Marcus and Emma Craggs, remaining on their dressage score of 27.6. Piggy had set the standard in the dressage with a score of 27 aboard Sportsfield Top Notch, on whom she finished eventual fourth.
Seven-year-old Cooley Lancer was purchased as a five-year-old from Richard Sheane’s Cooley Farm in Ireland.
