There have been a few thrills and spills for Team GH para-rider Evie Toombes in Janaury, as she continues to build the relationship with her new horse Breeze. Here is the latest update from Evie’s mum, Caroline:

“Evie had her first British Showjumping show on Saturday at Arena UK in the 90 Open. I think her nerves showed a little resulting in a fall at the fourth fence. However, she re-grouped and jumped a lovely round hors concours straight after for just one fence down.

Our  next show has a smaller warm up class so it will suit her better – plus a later start time. 5 o’clock on a cold January day is tough on Evie’s legs as they are so tight, and she takes a while to get her engine running! Lots to keep her busy with a display for HRH Princess Anne on the 3rd for the RDA!”
