Belsay Horse Trials, you were TOUGH! 💥

An extremely demanding course from start to finish, with plenty of questions and every fence right up to height and width the whole way around🙈

Jack was absolutely fab and answered every question without hesitation 🍫

To come away with 3rd place is the cherry on top 🥉✨ So proud of this incredible horse and everything he continues to give

Luhmühlen Horse Trials

An unforgettable week competing at Luhmühlen with Jack, who gave me his all every step of the way in only his second 4*. He absolutely stormed around a tough cross country track, coming home just 4 seconds over the time.

I’m gutted to have let him down in the show jumping the two rails were on me, and he didn’t deserve them. But I’m so proud of how far we’ve come, and I can’t wait for what’s next.

Massive thank you to Clarke for all his help in every phase, and for making it possible for Jack and me to compete at these amazing events.
Tanisha and Marcus thank you both for everything you do behind the scenes.

Feeling sharp in Oakridge Equestrian 🖤
