We’ve had a busy few days 🐴❤️
on Friday spillers came out to weigh and body score our lovely ponies, most ponies scored perfect 5’s and great advice as always from SPILLERS , the afternoon was spent giving the arena some much needed TLC ( Josh reliving his youth on Fergie 🚜) Big thanks to Simon and Ben too for using Hill Farms big tractor and bucket to save us raking by hand. in the evening I took Olly and Thea arena eventing at Poplar Park. ( Olly enjoyed his sponge down and roll 😜) He was awesome and both had a great time.
Saturday Team Chilvers were busy in the fields strimming and weeding. ( weeding in arena Friday too) 🥵🥰
Sunday we took 6 ponies out to Frenches Farm Show jumping, it made the 5am start worth it with qualifying 3 riders , Tyler stormed around the 60cm ❤️🐴 poor Harry threw a shoe in warm up 🤦‍♀️
Well done Team HFEC 👏 xx
