I firstly want to spare a thought for the event organisers who work tirelessly only – all too often – for the weather to put pay to their efforts as it seems to have done over the first few weeks. And the winter always brings added challenges too for our yard team who work hard keeping seven of our livery and family hunters on the road throughout the season.
Now it appears to be drying up a bit, I am really looking forward to this season getting into full swing – not only have I got some exciting new horses to campaign this year but there are some great new competitive targets for riders to aim for, in the shape of the Tri-star Eventing Series and the Event Rider Masters.
