Last Friday evening saw yet another handful of cobweb-covered members descend from their winter roosts to blink with wonder around the course of jumps at Templemore. Damian, Enda, Marina and Libby joined Anne and Leo for a simple but effective school over coloured poles under Kelda’s watchful eye.

You have a chanceContinue reading “Friday night jumping lessons with Kelda”
