A great Sunday out at the VWH Fun Ride. A super way to get some our youngsters out and pop them over a few fences! Ross, who’s on breaking livery, was a superstar! He got his first rosette (although he preferred the carrot)! It was a bit chilly for the end of ride picnic but we braved the elements for Easter chocolate fudge cake 😍! Thanks Hannah!!!

The ladies of GPE out for a Saturday morning hack!

Tedworth Point to Point this Sunday. Going to be a great day... Pip Watkins and Chloe Hitchmough are racing in the Hunt Race in the afternoon too. Lots of fun!!

Great morning training at Boomerang! All the horses jumping well. Now we start the season - hurray 😍

This made everyone at GPE very happy this morning. Less than four months after breaking his hip (and being told he wouldn’t ride again for five months) Gilles is back jumping!! And they weren’t small fences.... ❤️
