Jayden Brown to compete at Hartpury Festival of Dressage
By Equestrian Life
Jayden Brown of Willinga Park is set to compete at the NAF 5* Hartpury Festival of Dressage from today in Gloucester, UK, with five horses.
“Can’t wait to get back in the ring with the gorgeous WillingaPark Sky Diamond,” said Jayden. “We head to Hartpury CDI with Sky Diamond and Quincy in the CDI classes. I’m also looking forward to competing Miana, Tito and Fangio in the FEI young horse classes.”
Jayden is currently based at Chedington Equestrian in Dorset with the Willinga Park horses and grooms Maddie Leeden and Lillie Connelly. The team plan to base in the UK ahead of the Paris Olympics in 2024, a venture brought about through the generosity of Willinga Park’s Terry and Ginette Snow.
Jayden and Sky Diamond were recently named on the short list for FEI World Championship Australian team selection and will be hoping to put in a good performance in front of selectors ahead of the team annoucement on 11 July.

Competition continues across the weekend, with many of Britain’s top combinations in action. Charlotte Dujardin was due to compete in the GP with rising star Imhotep, however the horse was showing mild signs of colic on arrival.
“The horse’s welfare remains the main priority and therefore, following veterinary advice, the decision has been taken to withdraw Imhotep from the competition,” said Charlotte via social media.
