I'm just thrilled that he trusts me enough to respond positively when he asks and a question and I tell him it's okay. You can see that at the end of the video which is when we jump the brush for the first time. The start of this reel is our second go at it - like 2 mins later. Having so much fun together. Thank you to @andrea.pfeiffer for the support and seeing us through thick and thin. #eventinghorse

We celebrated @ros_canter_eventing earlier this year for winning Badminton just weeks after having her second baby.

The areas around Aachen were quite badly damaged in the war so you have to work hard to find some of the older parts of towns. Turns out this castle wasn't old either. But it was cool!
