𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐬𝐨 𝐟𝐚𝐫 !🐴✨

A little round-up of everything we’ve managed to squeeze into 2026 so far — and it’s certainly been a busy one! 🙈

We are incredibly grateful to have been able to host and run so many events here at home, and a huge 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐤 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐨 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐮𝐬 𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐲
❤️

Andrew’s new role in 𝐗𝐂 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝 & 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐈𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝 has certainly kept him busy — which, of course, he absolutely loves! 😂 — while he continues to ride and compete his 6-year-old, Luka, in between.

So far this year we’ve managed to fit in quite a lot:

🏇 Tyrella x 4
🏇 Spring Festival & Balmoral Qs
🏇 3 Eventing Ireland events at home
🏇 Millstreet International
🏇 Pony Club Camp
🏇 Area Tetrathlon
🏇 Carriage Driving Event
🏇 Pony Club Regional Championships in Scotland
🐴 Breeding, with new foals arriving and 𝟓 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐧𝐞𝐱𝐭 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫.

We must be mad! 🙈😂

And of course, 𝐄𝐥𝐬𝐚 has another embryo implanted into our recipient mare, thanks to 𝐋𝐨𝐮𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐍𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐆𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐕𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐲 for all her amazing work with this. 🤞🐴

We are also incredibly proud of 𝐈𝐳𝐳𝐲 achieving individual 3rd & Team 2nd at Regional Champs in Scotland our two young riders, 𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐲 𝐂𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝 & 𝐎𝐫𝐥𝐚𝐠𝐡 𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐲, who both put in fantastic performances at 𝐋𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞, finishing 3rd. 👏🏆

Meanwhile, 𝐈𝐳𝐳𝐲 & 𝐁𝐞𝐧 have been enjoying their Donegal adventures with Nanny Turley and friends! ❤️

And once again, 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐤 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐨 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩𝐞𝐝 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐮𝐬 𝐬𝐨 𝐟𝐚𝐫. We genuinely couldn’t do it without you.

But a special mention has to go to
𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐝 𝐍𝐢𝐠𝐞𝐥 — 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐛𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐞 𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐝 & Cousin Charlie Napier-Sneddon for all his hard work & Ben keeping everyone in chat and learning new skills from his Dad ( keeping the cups of tea coming) 😆👏❤️

He puts in the long hours by Andrew’s side, working hard on the XC tracks and taking on every other job that comes their way. We are so lucky to have him!

Here’s to the rest of 2026… let’s see what else we can possibly fit in! 😂🐴🏆
