It's been an exciting time for our equestrian enthusiasts, with one student achieving impressive competition success and others gaining inspiration from one of the sport’s top international events.

Tilly S competed at Tweseldown on Sunday in the Open Novice (U18), where she finished 2nd and in the prize money! She delivered a dressage score of 33, went clear in show jumping, and incurred just 2 time faults on the cross-country course to finish on a score of 35—securing a superb 2nd place. Tilly has had a fantastic start to the season and now has her sights set on Nunney International, where she’ll compete in the CCI2*-S—her first event at 2* level.

Meanwhile, other girls had the opportunity to attend the Badminton Horse Trials on Show Jumping day. It was a truly inspiring experience to witness eventing at the highest level, culminating in a nail-biting finish as Ros Canter (GBR) claimed victory on her horse, Lordships Gruffalo—the only horse ever to win Badminton back-to-back.
