⭐️Post derby ⭐️

Three of our horses went to post derby this weekend and all made us so proud!!

Q 🐢 jumped two beautiful rounds in the 80cm’s with an unfortunate pole in each class. But what an improvement for this boy since his first show 🤍He sure gave the jumps some airtime and is ready to step up a level 🤩

Quinsey 🧸was amazing proving to us all that he is definitely a derby horse 🤩he had an unfortunate pole in each class but he has just stepped up to 1m and this was his first time jumping on grass. Super proud of this boy 🤍

Corvi 🤪is making such ease of stepping up to the 1.10m and is literally stepping over them 🤩but was not a huge fan of the derby jumps as this was his first time 🤍still so proud of this Mr Corvi!!

So proud of these combinations such exciting things to come for them!!! ⭐️

Thank you to our grooms for always making sure our horses look amazing and for all the work you do behind the scenes we are so grateful 🥰🤍
