Affiliated Dressage - Verity and Gaya competed in the Area Festival at Onley Grounds EC in Medium, Advanced Medium and AM Freestyle, and whilst there were no podium finishes this time, it was a good and enjoyable championship experience for them.

The combination have now started to work towards qualification for the Advanced Medium Silver Winter Regionals and continuing with training towards PSG

Horses - We waved Izzy (Issey Magic) off at the beginning of August to go to her new owner. She has gone to a lovely rider who just fell in love with her when she came to try her. We are excited to follow their progress as they continue to compete in British Dressage. Izzy had been with us here for 8 years from when she was a 3 year old and had achieved an excellent competition record being competed by both Verity and India.
