  1. Learning to read the map on the hoof

David, normally a judge, was thrown in at the deep end to ride at the English Championships in the level One class. The photo was the night before, learning how to read a map, on the Friday night. He rode as an Individual.

I took this photo of Traceur Cath and the route riders, Bev and Steph doing last minute route finding, literally as the combine harvesters and balers were still working,

  1. Can sheep take part?

  1. How low can you go?

Helen Barnes is a fabulous volunteer and always brings her camera and gets some amazing snaps. This is one of many I could have chosen but this shows the great partnership between Sully and Nichola Peace in one of our open competitions

  1. Simply the best

This photo shows my amazing Little Miss Satisfaction at her best, loving her job and rewarding me with a fantastic score of 144 at Park Farm English Champs, pulling us up into 2nd place in L2a individual.

  1. Did someone say beach?

This photo is one of my favorites of myself and my part-bred Arab Sofi on the beach phase at Gower Trec. Apart from being very colourful in our mix of hi-viz, it sums up Trec in my opinion:

– a spin on the beach

– the rider engrossed in her map

– the horse alert and happy, watching and waiting eagerly for her next direction.

  1. Parting ways

The lady parting from her Patchy Twat in the back ground (Christine Banks) was such a great sport and happily unhurt! My Trec partner kim Leney is in foreground – from Brightling 2021
