Dash in the 1.40 Derby championship.
A few rookie errors on my part costing us here and there.
In 2016, after more than a decade of building an ideal lifestyle, across the road from the beach in Cape Town, we decided to move back to the PE.
The dream, to pursue a very different lifestyle, one I had almost forgotten completely .
I remember saying to Hayley, " am I nuts?" a few days later she came home with a small sign, with a quote;
" What if I fall? ...... Oh, my darling what if you fly"
The main derby commences with a tribute to the horse and boy does it ring true!
Wish to Land you made me fly!

Fantastic end to their second ever SA Champs .
last year was 1.30 at Stokkies and this year 1.40 . Grant and Dash (wish to land) both with impeccable work ethics, and a "never say die " attitude . 💪🏼😅
They were so professional, with amazing BMT - holding their own in a phenomenal class of top SA riders . Taking the last upright in the champs class this morning . I couldn't be prouder of my man, so brave and so gifted . ❤️

SA champs being his first big show and travelling a longer distance to joburg , he flew the flag well and we are so proud of him . Just two poles down the whole show at 1.30m 🥰 looking forward to see what he does at Derby next month .
