Fun day blowing the winter cobwebs away @ecastonlewalls with some of the up and coming #teamde recruits π₯°β
New team member @ivyfisher_eventing continued the great work she is doing at DEHQ with 3 out of 3 double clears πͺmaking the most of this excellent training opportunity for both the young and older horses alike πππ

ππAnother year and another peep πbehind the curtain with our annual Team DE WhatsApp Reveal Reel πΈπ₯ππ€!!
There is always more to Dassett than just Eventing β¦ although Iβm not sure that βDassett Eatingβ π₯ͺππ³πͺor βDassett Complaining about the weatherβ π§οΈ π§οΈπ§οΈπ§οΈ quite has quite has the same ring to it π€ β¦. βDassett Poniesβ sounds quite good mind β¦.. ππ!!
Wishing one and all a happy, healthy and successful New Year πΎπ₯³πππΎ!!

Another days great training under the watchful eye of #teamde top trainer Barbara πβ
So named due to her propensity for always being in the Bush π³, Barbara and her husband George π have become an integral part of the teamπ€β
No one gets away with sloppy corners or bad transitions with Barbara on the case !!

π₯°π₯°π€©π€©Big Man Spam alert βΌοΈ
Sooooo proud of this guy defying the odds and doing what he does, delivering in every phase @blenheimhorse this week π₯°π₯°
Never has a slip between elements due to a lost shoe at the penultimate fence on the XC caused so much heart ache π as a last minute (literally) 20 penalties blotted an otherwise brilliant round for Kate and the ever genuine MBF Dassett Legacy
The return to long format has been a long time coming πͺ but with a foot perfect clear show jumping round on the final day πand a 29 dressage πon the scoreboard he is a winner in our eyes ππ!
So many of our supporters were out in force over the weekend cheering the big man on and sending messages of support, it always takes a village to get this far and #teamzamalam is one special village π₯°π₯°π₯°

did you ever see a cuter 5yr old loving the π¦ water jump @cornburyhorsetrials this weekend ππ
High hopes for future superstar HSH Dassett Looks Good who had a ball from start to finish at his first big boy show πͺπ₯°π€©

Well much like the scenery ποΈβ°οΈ, Blair 2024 was certainly full of ups and downs for #teamde !!!
However the weather π§οΈ didnβt dampen our spirits π€ͺand there was much to be proud of despite the so near yet so far moments !!
Thankfully The big man #mbfdassettlegacy pulled it out the bag when needed π₯° and proved that what he may have lacked in speed on the testing terrain he more than made up for in heart β₯οΈ nailing a classy double clear around the tough CCI-S4πͺπͺπͺβ

#yeskate !!
Kate also had an educational trip with 6yr old Dassett Decision in the CCI1* who we will be sure to see galloping round some big tracks before not too long ππ
Hats off to @alice_rocher who had the ride of her life aboard ex racehorse and soulmate Winged Affair before testing the βbounceβ in the ground on the XC with just 1 fence left to jump ππ±π€¦ββοΈπ!!
The smile on her face in all of the photos letβs you know she was having a pretty good time till that point !!
Blair always delivered great tracks, stunning scenery and the friendliest of welcomes .. we shall miss you always β¦ ( but maybe not the rainππ€£)
Guess who was the speediest Dassett up the gallops this afternoon π¨ π π€£πβ
