Dipping their toes into dressage arena at weekend, was Bob the cob , came to us earlier this year and been a happy hacker but now with training is showing potential for dressage. Shannon took him out for owner as neither has ever competed before, to show him the ropes and he excelled himself, behaving impeccably and enjoying his experience and came home coming 2nd in both classes. Also Clarion an ex show jumper , having a bash, and looking super well, again behaving well finished 4th. Then Khaleesi finished 3rd with Shannon and won with Lottie, considering all these combinations are new to dressage or have rusty or inexperienced riders, to all get placed and more importantly behaved and all the horses and girls enjoyed themselves was a great achievement, great support network and cause for the proscecco to be opened 🥇👏🏆🍾
