Still smiling after an unforgettable day for the Stapleford team ❤️✨

Seeing Stapleford Come What May crowned Private Drive Champion at the Bucks Counties Spectacular and securing his ticket to the Horse of the Year Show is a moment we’ll never forget.

So much hard work goes on behind the scenes to produce these ponies, which makes days like this even more special 🤍

A huge thank you again to Fred Eastwood, Fred Vyse and Sarah Hockings — teamwork really does make the dream work 🐴✨

What an achievement for this very special pony!

Watching the partnership between Fred Vyse and Stapleford Come What May is an absolute privilege - their presence, precision and style in the ring are something truly special ❤️

Also a huge thank you to Fred Eastwood for producing Stapleford Come What May so beautifully. To transition a pony from the Hackney ring into the Private Driving ranks so successfully really is a credit to the incredible amount of hard work, dedication and preparation that goes on behind the scenes at home - something we are immensely proud to be part of 🤩

Stapleford No Profit taking 2nd place in the Novice Hackney Pony Class at Beechwood Equestrian Centre 🥈

We couldn’t be prouder of this pony - improving with every outing and growing in confidence each time he steps into the wagon. Only his second show in harness and he’s already showing the progress we’ve been hoping for.

Excited to see what the rest of the season has in store for Tony the Pony! ✨🐴
