Equine show season proper now underway
Show jumping and dressage now accompanied by showing and Working Hunter on grass
Hi everyone,
There has been a bit of a drop in the temperature, but thankfully there has been a bit less rain lately! I do still live in hope that we will have a really nice summer after the monsoons we endured, but at least Balmoral Show got some dry and bright weather… Hopefully, that will be a good omen for the show season ahead!
