It was a fantastic show in Miami this weekend with Calgary Tame and Bisquetta.

As part of the Rome Gladiators Global Champions Tour Team with Lorenzo De Luca, Laura and Calgary Tame jumped a swift clear in the first 1.55 GCT competition to finish 4th and then backed this performance up with another clear round, this time on Bisquetta, to finish 3rd.

These performances, along with Lorenzo's clear round put the Rome Gladiators into the top podium position. 

Thank you to ClipMyHorseTV for powering the Rome Gladiators.

What a week ! ✨ I would like to say thank you to Balou for being the superstar he is, he jumped his heart out. I would also like to thank St. Brides Farm, Barb and Dave for your unwavering support (as well as all of the Balou fan club who were here cheering) ! 
Margo Thomas, who took the best care of him this week, and the rest of the team at home who look after all of the horses as if they are Olympic champions! 

Nick, I know you wanted an individual medal for me, and it wasn’t for your lack of support and advice, you’re the best! 

My family, who go above and beyond to make sure these dreams come true, especially Mary Elizabeth, you are irreplaceable. 

Christiana Ober, Paul  Boken, Arnie Gervais, Steve Engle, Wolfie and the countless others who give Balou the outstanding veterinary, shoeing and physio care he deserves.
