As usual an early start for our two-hour journey to the Downs group show held in the beautiful surrounding of Buckurst Park, Sussex.

It was our first time competing at the Area 12 NPS show held at Kings Equestrian Centre Bromyard. It was a friendly, well organised show, even changing the rings to keep things running smoothly. It turned out a really busy hot day, we couldn’t have managed without Kate’s help in the Championships. Big thank you…
Fantastic day with our youngsters at Stretcholt Spring show. Couldn’t be more pleased, a lovely venue perfect for educating our babies. Snelsmore Spectre our piebald yearling colt by Merrylees Talisman had a great learning experience for his first time competing at a show. Spectre made a James Bond style entrance with a flying leap out…

Another long journey to Edenbridge & Oxted show on the 31st of August, luckily we didn’t get the bad weather that had been forecast. Edenbridge is a really busy agricultural show and a very different atmosphere from the Wessex group show last week for our novice filly Snelsmore Ragdoll. Just like her mum Benston Gloria…
