Friends
No such thing as head shy for twin b sunkissed ** ps. Neither are sedated, just a chill 2 year old standardbred filly and her gentle best bud. ??** ps 2 the “chain” are called crossties that’s where we put them while they get groomed ! They’re on it for about 15 minutes it will compare to have a dog tie while he’s getting groomed at the groomer ! They actually love that time of the day cuz that’s when they get pampered the most

And congratulations to this week’s Social Media Post of the Week winner
This is what happened when Heidi Woodhead decided she wanted to drive her horsebox onto a field as if she was arriving at an event
This all started because I felt the urge to drive the lorry into a field (#withdrawalsymptoms)… Not satisfied with creating silly videos just involving myself, we have now dragged a few friends in!Thank you to pals – worldwide – for having the blind faith to do something silly, without knowing what we were planning.If it makes you smile – please share! #EventingFamily #RidersConnected #BEUnitedThe best bit, actually, was chatting on the phone with everyone, at a time when we can't do what we would normally be doing.Huge thanks all, and especially to Jackie at Cavewood Productions who never lets me down!Hx
