National Three Day Event 2026 wrap up for TR Willow 💛

What a special week away in Taupo with our little mare. Third after dressage, an awesome clear cross country around a seriously tough track in a competitive class, and despite a couple of light rails on Sunday, we finished 8th overall out of 28 starters.

Considering we’d only had one other eventing run this season, I honestly couldn’t be prouder of Willow. I was pretty windy heading out onto that cross country track, but she absolutely had my back all the way around. Such a genuine little trooper and the sort of horse who just keeps trying.

Also incredibly grateful to have had there with me all week. These trips away together are so special and I can’t thank mum enough for braving the cold, doing all the things, and being the best support crew. We’re both very proud of our girl 😍

New Year, New ( or refreshed ) Goals!

I believe January is the perfect time to slow down, reconnect with your horse, and focus on the art of practising with intention. In my latest blog, I share why I think learning is more than ticking a box, how embracing “good is good enough” can take pressure off both rider and horse, and why quality always matters more than quantity.

Packed with insights from Ray Hunt, Buck Brannaman, and Christian Penny, plus real-life lessons from Hoot & Willow, this post is all about trying new things, being patient, and enjoying the journey of growth with your horse.
