Scott Brash and Ursula runners up in World Cup class at Olympia, The London International Horse Show

Wednesday 20 December 2017

SCOTLAND'S Scott Brash just missed out on the top spot in the World Cup Class at Olympia, The London International Horse Show.

Scott rode the Scottish-bred mare Ursula, a 16-year-old mare, bred by John and Mary Turnbull from Fife and origially produced by their son Mark before being purchased by Lady Harris and Lady Kirkham in 2011.

Scott, who pronounced the course “challenging, but well thought out and jumpable”, raised the roof with his clear round on the 16-year-old Ursula Xll and hopes were high that he might score the first back-to-back win since Nick Skelton in 1984. However, despite the fantastic jump-off speed of 37.34 seconds, it wasn’t to be.

“I know Julien well and I knew how fast he would go, so fair play to him,” said Scott sportingly afterwards. “Ursula was fantastic and, although I would love to breed a foal from her, while she’s jumping like this, she certainly isn’t ready to retire.”

Scott is now 28th on the Longines FEI World Cup™ Rankings with five legs to go before the final in Paris in April 2018.
