Having run initially over hurdles and therefore developing a fast and long frame over a fence, I decided to take Darsi back to basics when I first had him. Darsi is a quick learner and loves a challenge to keep his mind active, so for the first 18 months he became a master of gridwork and jumping exercises in a 20 x 40m school. Rarely would I jump single fences or a course on him, and this has helped him to develop the bascule and become a very careful and rideable horse in the showjumping ring. It also gave him time to mature mentally into the retraining process which has been of great benefit to him.


Darsi is one of the most naturally talented horses I have ever had the pleasure to ride and I am yet to find a discipline he's struggled to turn his hoof to! From British Eventing, British Showjumping, and BRC Championships, to team fancy dress to music and gymkhana games, he has taken me around the country to venues I could only have dreamed of competing at!


For a horse who showed no competitive spirit at the races he is now rarely out of the top three! He qualified for the grassroots championships at Badminton and Blair Horse Trials on his first year of eventing, has had multiple wins at county level in showing and came third at the Royal International Horse Show in his working hunter championship 2019.


He has been part of the winning novice dressage team at the BRC National Championships, and qualified for all the major BS championships for the last three years running. He truly is a versatile horse and each weekend we compete it is a different discipline to the previous. He is an amateur rider's dream and I am now fully converted to ex-racehorses- why would you have anything else?


Economic Security partnership had a dream to own a horse that would race at the cheltenham festival. This was meant to be Darsi (Master Wickham) but as you will read it all seemed to go wrong for him in racing! When he retired and came to me (a girl with a dream to get to Badminton) they purchased 'House Island' as his replacement. Darsi took me around Badminton in 2018 and now on the 13th March 2020 my boy will line up at Lincoln British Eventing on the same day First House will line up in the grade one novice hurdle at Cheltenham festival! Dreams really do come true!
