We love seeing our flying! Huge well done N.J.C Eventing 👏🏻
Some days just hit differently… 💚
Sunday was our first ever jumping competition, and I don’t think I’ll ever forget it. We came 5th out of 21 pairs with Daisy and Basil!
He felt incredible! Happy, keen, and genuinely having fun, and that meant everything.
What made it even more special was, I got to wear my new XC colours for the first time! They were bought with money my nanny gave me, I chose to get them so that every time I ride, I carry a piece of her with me.
It made the whole day so much more emotional, and treasured!
It’s been nearly 2.5 years since Hero came over from Ireland, and it hasn’t been the easiest journey. Figuring out his brain, building trust, learning each other… there were definitely moments where this felt a long way off or I felt like giving up, maybe I wasn't the right rider for him.
But wow… the feeling I had out there? I can’t even put it into words. It felt like the first real step on our eventing journey.
The kind of moment that reminds you exactly why you keep showing up, even on the hard days.
So proud of you, Hero. This is just the beginning 🤍
