As usual he jumped a faultless clear round in the final, to finish third and the highest placed Welsh Cob in working hunter at HOYS 2006. He had numerous other successes during the summer, including being on his winning Pony Club SJ team, and qualified for the Sansaw PC championships both on the team and as an individual. In addition, he qualified for RIHS at Hickstead for the first time, and jumped another faultless clear round to be second in the competition.

Burnmoor Rhys finished last season with 43 British Dressage points, and qualified for both Winter and Summer Regional Finals at Novice level. He has since been competing at affiliated Medium level, winning with scores of over 60%, and qualified for the 2007 Winter Regionals at this higher level. He represented the Northern region at the U21 Internationals at Wicklow (Ireland), scored highly at the U25 championships (Sheepgate) and won one of the junior Derby tests, being the highest scoring member of his team. He combines all this with several successes at the side-saddle championships in the summer, and is a truly versatile Cob.
