Some of Helen's previous rides

CASTLE CONFETTI (CONFETTI)

16hh Grey mare, Born 2001, Owned by Helen Cole

Confetti came to the yard with a reputation of being very buzzy and excitable. Helen has produced Confetti through the eventing grades. She has a real desire to jump. Not the easiest horse to manage on the yard as mentally she is always on the go but she keeps us all amused with her antics!

Previous form: Jumped clear at Blair 3* and Tattersalls. Placed 7th in Advanced at Aston Le Walls.

Confetti is also a proud mum of Chilletti, sired by Chilli Morning, Colour Coded (Gypsy) by Cevin Z and she is currently in foal to Foxcourt Andante.
