Titan has finally arrived in Sydney! 🇳🇿✈️🇦🇺

After a full week of cancellations, delays and more changes of plans than can be counted, we are finally here! A massive thank you to everyone who dropped everything to get the horses up to the North Island so they could fly out of Auckland!

Titan is super happy and has settled in really well. He had a nice ride yesterday, then we’ll have a quick jump today before competition starts on Thursday. 🐴💙

So excited to finally be here and get underway! 🇳🇿🇦🇺✨

Geo had another 105cm eventing start last weekend. Although the scoreboard didn't quite reflect his performance, Geo is so much talent and promise for the future. With every event, he continues to improve, and most importantly, I'm coming home with a happy, confident horse.

Geo will now enjoy some well-deserved quieter time while I'm away in Australia. I'm excited to pick back up with I get home and keep building on everything he's learned. The future is looking bright for this special horse
