Just transporting our skinny brush boxes in'to the field - a little piece of Caroline is with us @ Winters.

I bought these 3 brush frames from Caroline Moore over 2 years ago.

They used to be @ Vale View - we had to cut them down as they were Caroline height at 1m40!

So when you are jumping them and flying high, remember her - she's flying with you right by your side. 🕊

Mr Chow has had his mane pulled and had a makeover - travelled up to the XC like a dream 😂 What a good boy he is.

Such incredibly sad news.

I met Caroline 5 years ago and was lucky enough to train with her a handful of times.

She made a huge impression on me as i'm sure she did to all that met her - what a wonderful woman, a woman who had the biggest drive and commitment to her work and love for the sport and passion for life.

Love and deepest sympathy to all Carolines family and friends.
🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍

You are already greatly missed by so many.

Thoughts go out to her family and her close friends.

It is with great sadness that Caroline Moore passed away last night. Caroline was an inspirational coach and mentor to so many of us, but above all else she was a wonderful friend, and one who I will never forget. What we achieved together I will be forever proud of. Thank you Caroline, for everything.

We are delighted to welcome a new & exciting fence sponsor.

🌟Thornton Equine Academy 🌟

Founded by Helen Thornton, an experienced Equine Sports Therapist, and currently finishing her journey to becoming an equine osteopath EDO, Thornton Equine Academy is dedicated to advancing equine well-being through hands-on therapy & cutting-edge treatments like PEMF therapy.

Helen has more recently started running training courses and workshops for horse owners and therapists which is something I'm really looking forward to getting stuck into.

Helen’s workshops and courses will be held throughout the year. The aim is to encourage us to learn some basic or more challenging skills, enabling us to be more hands on with our horses 🐎

All information will be shared on our page.

Look out for the new Thornton Equine Academy fence on course! If you're passionate about equine health, explore their training programs - see link below for more information.

Perfect 👌 going/ground for ring rolling....

**2025 XC opening update**

I've just this morning completed a ground inspection and we are looking very good for this time of year.

Ground is nearly ready for rolling - but not quite as it's still sticky in a few places.

I think we will be able to get the fences in situ at the back end of this week (the FC looks glorious)

Good luck to everyone who is going to Oasby this Thur/Fri - we may, just MAY be able to open for training pre Lincoln! That would be a first for us but fingers crossed - ground is fragile so as usual we are very weather dependent.
