Got a 3rd place rosette for in hand veteran (20 year old horse). She is my family and I only ever want her to be comfortable.

This was an unofficial dressage competition where bitless was allowed. I was the only bitless competitor. We placed 4th and 5th in the Novice tests.

18yr old moor bred Exmoor, Anchor Rossi, places 3rd in Lead Rein class with Leila, 7 & 5th with Leo, 9.

She was foot perfect and did me so proud helping them take 5th and 6th place. Only bitless pony in the whole three day show! Second time out for her this year, bitless both […]
