Had Caunton Welldone not sustained an injury in 2013, leaving her unable to compete at The Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials that year, she would have been a true 5* campaigner.
Mickey was as brave as a lion and with plenty of jump and her offspring certainly carry that forward. Her first embryo transfer foal ‘Caunton Wellconnected’ is competing at CCI4* level.
