Strap yourselves in and take a ride around the Essex & Suffolk open team chase with the winning team
WINNING OPEN ROUND ????Team Ride Away 1, Essex and Suffolk Open Team Chase 2020 ? ? Joe Bump StevensonJames P SheppardCharlotte Alexander This was such an awesome course, probably the longest team chase course there is! Lots of twists and turns, double hedges with a bounce in between and huge drops!? The water caused some absolute carnage with so many falls, it was so deep if you did anything other than walk through then you were off!! ?Poor James fell at fence three and hit his head quite hard, but thankfully he is ok. Our lovey team photographer got an awesome photo of his fall ? I’ll share photos once the professional photographers have uploaded them ?That’s it for the season now, and the boys are having a holiday until the spring season ?He will hate me for saying this publicly ? but I want to say a huge thank you to my partner James, for making me so happy, and just for everything he does for me and the horses ❤️ James has worked so hard to get Marley fit for the season, only to then selflessly give me the ride on him after Odin’s injury and let me take all the glory. I’m simply a passenger, all the hard work put into this incredible horse behind the scenes has been done by James, and I am just so so grateful to have been able to finish the season on Marley ❤️ So, enjoy watching a winning open team Chase between Marley’s beautiful ears ? ?
