Libby D Archery, featuring Murphy the cob

26/08/2026

Libby never wanted to go fast….. she definitely didn’t want to jump 🫣. Then along came a pony, who also didn’t really want to go fast, or jump anything.

They spent 5 years together & apparently they’ve changed their minds……. For today anyway 🤷🏻‍♀️🥰

🏹 MEET THE DEMONSTRATORS: LAURAN EVANS - VALKYRIE ARCHERY

Ever wondered what it takes to fire an arrow from the back of a galloping horse? 👀

Libby & Murf’s support team are struggling to take this sport seriously……. When training involves late night ba****ck hacks & the nutritional fuel is hotdogs 🌭 (it did lead to some exciting progress tho….. announcement 📣 pending 😬)
