3.10.2021 Jan and Rebel: Part 7

By Sue Palmer on October 3, 2021

The horn quality had not improved, but his hoof boots saved the […]

By Sue Palmer on September 8, 2021

A Guest Blog from Sam Ireson Well where to start?! I’s been a little while since my last update. Rabbit has of course been an absolute superstar as always. We went to two further Area Festivals.

IHRT Sandra Williams helped me with ‘groundwork’, ‘horse agility’ and with ‘backing’.
