What a fantastic weekend at the Beaumont Horse Trials for Grey Horse Farm!
All of our horse and rider teams have been working hard, and it showed this weekend. Great job to everyone who competed, and a special thank you to our entire support system who showed up to cheer everyone on, groom horses, help out, wrangle the children of GHF, and take care of the farm back home while we were showing. It takes a village, and we have a pretty special one here! ❤️
Isla and Liberty - had an absolutely beautiful show jumping course and went clear in both SJ and cross country in EV60!
Ali and Artie - these two did excellent for such a new partnership and they placed 4th in EV60!
Lilian and Belluno - this was Belluno’s first ever event, and this team had a lot of personal wins over the course of the weekend, as well as having a lot of fun together in EV60!
Kristen and Marbles - Kristen placed 8th this weekend in EV60, accomplished a personal milestone for herself, and is looking forward to moving up at the next competition!
