Filming.
We recently filmed Horse Hero competition winners having their lessons with top dressage trainer Pammy Hutton, at the Talland School of Equitation. Sarah Reeve and Sara Bowie had schoolmaster lessons and Gill Richards brought her own horse. Lots of great insight was gained! Pammy's daughter Pippa (who has been selected for the Young Rider Europeans) also allowed us to film her Freestyle test.
Previously, we filmed Jane Lavington training native horses. Jane rode Ed the cob and the Advanced Clydesdale-cross Boston Deluxe. Next up is GB team eventer Daisy Dick and then more with Grand Prix dressage rider Nikki Crisp, who will be working with trainer Erik Theilgaard.
Stop Press! Congratulations to Horse Hero celebrity Georgie Somerset who has just announced her engagement - great news after the tragedy in her recent blog!
