A lot of time and attention goes into making sure my horses are well groomed and well cared for. When it comes to myself, I sometimes feel like an afterthought. But Equestly keeps me looking sharp no matter how little time I have.

What a great weekend at the Morven Park Spring Horse Trials! Being back in the competition ring after a winter hiatus felt fantastic. Boston, owned by Peter Foley, showed tremendous spirit for his first event of the season, securing a commendable 7th place in Open Novice-A amidst stiff competition.

Watching my students ride is always a joy.
