We have had a great few days at the royal bath & west show, it’s been such good experience for the girls with the mammoth atmosphere and vibe, with quad bike displays, hounds, fireworks and more 🙈. It was hard to keep their focus and this meant the odd pole her and there, but absolutely delighted to have finished our show with this round from Hannah Joy Warnett mare “Vegas Z” just having the first fence down in the 1.45 GP, such a shame but what a round.
