Brilliant start to the season!
Team win for York, and everyone was individually placed. I can’t wait to see what the rest of the season brings

Rudy enjoying a quieter life these days

He quite likes coming down to have the massage pad on before and after giving Maisie a lunge lesson and a meander round the school!

I’m completely an utterly in love with and inspired by Peggy. She really is one in a million 🤩

Peggy at senior camp.
It was lovely but also quite stressful having her with me while I was volunteering, but it was such a brilliant educational experience for her. We managed to get of xc and jumping practice in during the lunch break and of course we did a bit of schooling on the grass which was interesting… I think she was a bit confused as to why she couldn’t blitz round the field or just meander round on the buckle 😂

Peggy’s first time out cross country! Super proud of this little mare and how well she dealt with the experience. Thank you Anne Chapman-Damms for making all of this possible ❤️

First two BUCS comps with the uni! I’m so lucky to be a part of such an incredible team.
In terms of results, we’ve had two team firsts and I’ve had an individual first and sixth (due to a hiccup in the jumping). I’m so proud of us! Well done girls 💪🏼
