One minute we are all sliding around in the mud at Badminton, then suddenly in the blink of an eye its mince pie consuming season already. The season was filled with adventures – Luhmuhlen, Europeans, Arville and finished with the new customary sun-soaked season finale at Pau. More croissants, an epic thunderstorm, flooding and sunrises.
Get a cuppa and a supply of mince pies before getting comfy…
Christmas is a distant memory, January has felt eleventy billion days long, but alas there is light at the end of what now feels like a never-ending tunnel. The new Eventing season is only 5 weeks away folks.
With sights turning towards the much-celebrated end of winter, my thoughts drift towards which equines I shall be excitedly looking forward to seeing each weekend.
Well blink and suddenly it’s the middle of April and the season is already almost eight weeks old – how did this happen?!? I’ve gone from wishing the winter to be gone to straight into full-on season madness, flying around from event to event.
The new season has bought some new clients and riders to work with, all of which are keeping me on my toes
Phew, with January done and dusted (was it just me that felt like January was 86789 days long?!) Whilst it was nice to slow things down…; with entries now officially open, it’s about time I awoke from the winter slumber and dusted off the gear ready for Eventing to get underway in little under a month.
Here are a few of my selections for Ones to Watch 2022…
What a season! Despite Covid’s best attempts at slowing the season down, I have managed to enjoy 28 BE & FEI Eventing adventures during the 2021 season.
In the latest blog, I bravely delve into the brimming image library from the season and pick out a few of my many favourites…
Blink and suddenly it’s June, then its July and the sun has finally arrived
Apologies for the radio silence, the blogs seem to have come to a crocked halt on the centre line… Life has been rather hectic since the Eventing season finally got started; typical after seemingly waiting through the longest of winters, once the season got going it’s been a whirlwind. Events have come thick and fast, albeit not all the usual venues we are used to, and I have been very lucky to continue to work with some fabulous clients, new and existing along the way.
August has been a hectic month, four events, nearly 1,300 miles travelled and an unmentionable number of photos taken.
Burgham did not disappoint. A world number one. A world champion. Three past class winners. Five star winners. More entries that anyone could have imagined! Eventing bliss.
