Congratulations on third place and on qualifying for Badminton Grassroots. Now I have three people to cheer for next year at that event. You, Meg and Tina

[@annejarvis7002]

Congratulations Flo & Star🥳👏👏 Star was awesome, especially as conditions became so horrendous. He brought you safely home Flo, when the ground was so boggy in places. You rode brilliantly, forward & with confidence. Star is so keen & has such a beautiful temperament. Looking forward to what's next. A shout out to all those who supported you, great job👏 & to all your team mates, well done👏🥳

[@mgadkins1659]

After seeing Megs vlog, I think the dressage judges were a harsh. Great job.🎉

[@christinedavies336]

Wow! 🥉2 podium finishes with two fun but very wet and muddy, lap of honours! 🥈🐎 🤩Star living up to his name! 🤩Tina and Meg make everything fun!! 😂🥰 Your new groom/camera man is shaping up to be very proficient - he's a keeper! 😍 😄Great vlog Flo - keep 'em coming! 😄

[@flocartereventing]

Thank you so much, I am still buzzing and so lucky to have a great support crew around!

[@leanneskitchengardenandplo9711]

He’s an absolute Beaty! Totally the type of horse I’d go for. You lucky woman !. Well done 🎉xx

[@leanneskitchengardenandplo9711]

Your totally reliving my past lol I still have 2 of my ex event horse 1 is 24 and the other 35. And I’m sure given half the chance they be up for it haha 😂 they still run round like nutters. I’m still riding the 35 year old but marv has retired due to back issues. They stil bring me much joy and have so many huge memories xxx

[@issy1233]

Well done. I loved watching yours, Tina's and Megs vlogs on bicton. Star is amazing😊

[@fleetskipper1810]

Star’s stride just eats up the ground. I was really impressed about how you let him roll during cross country and didn’t try to fuss with him too much before each fence. He just jumped them out of stride.

[@flocartereventing]

It’s something I’ve been trying to work on so much as he really can just pop when I leave him alone!

[@heatherradford1994]

Wow what a fantastic event for u and the gorgeous Star 🌟. He really was so amazing and seemed to love it too. I've been so excited to see Yr vlog and it didn't disappoint. Yr right that Star was epic but then I think u were too. Despite the dreadful condition u smiled Yr way through it and the results were so good. So proud of you both. I think the dressage judges were quite harsh with everyone and Star really was great. Was lovely seeing u Tina and Meg in a team together too. Didn't really see Tara but we'll done her too. Nice seeing Yr mum and Dan and Rochelle and her horse looked so good. Look forward to more vlogs but for now u go and have a nice relax and give the boys a snuggle xx

[@flocartereventing]

Thanks so much for the lovely comment! Yes it certainly is nice to have enjoyed a quieter week post-Bicton now the pressure is off a little!

[@egeegee7146]

Well done. That horse is a delight. I’m so pleased for the team too what a bunch of fabulous ladies.

[@flocartereventing]

Thank you so much!! x

[@marydewar5675]

So pleased you met up with Meghan Elphick and Tina. I follow both on KZbin.

[@flocartereventing]

Thanks lovely!! x

[@lemmebeawinnerequestrian7555]

Congratulations Flo, I loved this vlog. You did a fabulous job on Star, I can't wait to see more of him. He is wonderful and beautiful 😍

[@lisaedwards9597]

Oh Flo,what a Starr!! The pair of you were absolutely fabulous. He's really made his mark now. As you said,he's a gent. And he looks like he's really enjoying himself. I knew you were happy after the dressage. (That is not normal,lol)! And I agree,you were scored rather harshly for that. Effortless XC as per. What else can we expect from you?!. And smashed the SJ, but that's to be expected, as it's his favourite event. Well done coming second in the team event too. What a marvellous week. All that hard work finally getting good results. Have a peaceful winter. I can't wait for next year's uploads. Exciting times. I'm still grinning from ear to ear for you. Brilliant 😎😎😎

[@flocartereventing]

Thank you so much for such a lovely comment! He has certainly showed just how class he is now which I’m thrilled about! Looking forward to working hard over the winter and improving for next season. x

[@nellafrosst6453]

Great job! Nice to see a glimpse of Megan and Tina too.

[@marneymcgovern4285]

Way to go! Star looked awesome, boy he loves XC😃

[@kenzigrace27]

Keep doing what you are doing! There will always be room for improvements if you mess up. Star is a VERY well trained horse in my opinion. Keep going at it! x

[@olivian7109]

Great vlog and performance Flo! What a wonderful way to end the season!😀🐎

[@gigglingdingo]

Sensational …. How high is star? Looked to be 18 h next to Meg & Tina’s horses. Great results well ridden and just awesome, Brilliant!! 🦄

[@flocartereventing]

He’s 16.2! :)

[@DoubleElleEquestrian]

Wow that was incredible to watch! Yous are on fire!! ❤🎉

[@TessZissou]

Huge congratulations Flo! You and he were such a great team, and in such horrendous weather too. All your hard work is paying off. Well done! Your vlogs are great too - so honest and down to earth.

[@flocartereventing]

I really really appreciate that, thank you so much!

[@ansticecoe968]

Well done on the cross country and the show jumping

[@Siobhan_Shivaun]

Well done!! The weather was awful that weekend, the dressage judges were really strict. Nice they let you use a swimming pool for the showjumping warm up 😱

[@janl8683]

Brilliant result for you and Star, both individuals and Team event. Great vlog xxx

[@flocartereventing]

Thank you!

[@bethany6148]

Star is really coming into his own! He has come back from his injury so much better. Such a shame his dressage score didn't reflect the test as it was a lovely test. He has really improved so much. Big well done on placing, definitely deserved. X

[@lucymorganeq6050]

Huge well done !! Xx

[@Startledmayo]

It’s been so nice to see so many of you guys at the same event! I loved megs vlogs cause I saw you peek through a few times!

[@meredithingram9384]

What a fabulous end to a wonderful season! You and your horses are so improved from last year due to all your hard work 😀

[@flocartereventing]

Ah thank you so much! X

[@hceventing]

Well done, looks like you had a great time! I'm hoping to do it next year

[@grahamedwards3064]

[@JenniferJCouch]

[@flocartereventing]

Thanks so much! ❤

[@sophiemaundrell2663]

Super well done Flo! You have worked do hard with star and it really shows 😍

[@flocartereventing]

Thank you!!! x

[@sueguyan8101]

So happy that Star did so well for you , that was some accomplishment for both of you , so he has qualified for Badminton next season? He has certainly done you proud , well done for placing in the team event too!

[@flocartereventing]

He really has done he proud! No badminton sadly, I was in the open section as Star has one BE point from the Novice we did back in 2020 so isn’t eligible x

[@kellyannebmckie886]

Been waiting for this flo

[@flocartereventing]

An thank you!!

[@grahamedwards3064]

How about using rubber grip reins for the cross country section ?

[@ansticecoe968]

Well done Star on his dressage

[@valeriefergusson269]

Well done! You did not say where you finished in the b90?

[@flocartereventing]

Ooops!! 3rd!!! X

[@georgiajackson3639]

Well done x did u qualify for badminton or is the 90 not a qualifier x I love watching eventing but not 100% on the rules and ways it goes haha

[@flocartereventing]

Thank you! Sadly not as I was in the open section, as we did get 1 point at our Novice back in 2020 so he isn’t eligible x

[@cazobrien693]

Are u heading to badminton with him . That was a fantastic last event or 2022. Looking forward to watching him next season

[@flocartereventing]

Thank you! Unfortunately not, we weren’t in the qualifying section. x

[@cazobrien693]

@@flocartereventing awh no that's a shame.

[@Horsemom]

Hi I'm alittle confused. How was your class different from Tina & Megs 90. Thanks

[@flocartereventing]

Hey, it was simply just a section for horses/riders who weren’t Badminton eligible. No other difference!

[@valeriefergusson269]

Congratulations are you qualified for Badminton now ?

[@eltanin.amelia]

very cool! will you and Star be heading to badminton gr?

[@flocartereventing]

No sadly not, I was in the ‘open’ section of competition as he has a BE point from the novice we did in 2020 so he isn’t eligible x

[@fleetskipper1810]

The rules are very confusing to those of us who don’t do the sport. That’s a shame he didn’t qualify. He went well enough to do so.

[@christinedavies336]

@@flocartereventing Oh! Oops I thought that you and Star had qualified for Badminton Grass roots 2023! ?
