I’m so proud of Landy, ending our Winter Qualifiers, winning both tests with 70%+ and 68%+ 🎉 We made a few little mistakes, including a walk to canter, which wasn’t needed in our test, but looked lovely 🙈 I’m really looking forward to next season as there is so much more to come in our partnership 😍 My boy was a complete star and is growing in confidence all the time in the arena, which is fantastic 🌟 A huge thank you to Tamsin, for all of her help and support, my mum for driving and grooming for me, and to my amazing home team!
