Nicola Wilson

Nicola (nee Tweddle) started competing with the Hurworth Pony Club in numerous pony club activities and was a keen member of the Bedale Hunt, along with her husband Alastair, brother, sister and Mother Mary who was a Master for eight seasons. Nicola (34) began eventing in her teens and in 1997 was selected as an individual, for the Young Rider European Squad in Pratoni on Mr Bumble, a horse that Nicola’s mother bought as a four-year-old when Nicola was 13. Nicola combined riding and competing with University studies gaining a degree in Sport and Business Management and was able to contest her first four-star coming 10 th at Burghley with Mr Bumble in 1998.

Nicola also enjoyed success to four-star level with Skiver with who she was selected as reserve for the 2005 Senior British team for the European Championships at Blenheim. In 2009 Yorkshire-based Nicola, who trains with Yorkshire-based former Badminton winner Christopher Bartle, gained her first British Senior team place winning team gold at the European Championships with Opposition Buzz. Nicola has had the ride on Rosemary Search’s homebred Opposition Buzz, AKA Dodi since 2004 bringing him through the levels to his first Badminton in 2007.

Opposition Buzz is by the Trakehner stallion Fleetwater Opposition sire of the eventing stallion Yarlands Summer Song who is the sire of Badminton entry Leprince Des Bois. Opposition Buzz was bred by his owner Rosemary Seach out of Jungle Bee by Java Tiger.

Bee Diplomatic, produced to two-star level by Jeanette Brakewell, is by the Thoroughbred State Diplomacy (sir of Kristina Cooks former Le Lions winner State Diplomat) and was also bred by owner Rosemary Search. He is a half brother to Opposition Buzz being out of the same mare, Jungle Bee by Java Tiger

ANNIE CLOVER

Annie has retired from Eventing this year fit and well. She is going to have fun with my mum on the hunting field. Annie will be missed on the yard, She was a quirky mare who I love enormously. We had a long and successful career together with many highs all the way through. She is back at my parents and very close to visit. She has a yearling by ‘Jack of Diamonds’ and a recipient mare is in foal again to ‘Diarado’ this season

‘Annie’ as she is known at home was bought by Nicola’s mum, Mary as a 4 year old. She has always been a competitive horse, with many top ten results in her 3DE’s throughout her career.

She represented GB at The World Equestrian Games in 2014 and was 8th at Lexington CCI**** in 2015 and 8th at Pau CCI**** in 2016 both with double clears ANNIE CLOVER
