Well there is no doubt now winter has arrived. But it has been a fantastic summer competing with Tilly, she did 3 big championships in 3 months and came home with some super results. We are now having some down time from the competitions till next year and will be focusing on our training now. […]

Exciting times ahead!This week 2 years ago a little unbacked 6 year old broodmare (who’s last foal was weaned two weeks previously) called Tilly crossed the border into Scotland to come and live with me.
