2019
Having received a break during the winter months and quite a bit of time off during our foaling season, his light work has only increased recently, he is still unfit but fit enough to complete a show in the ring. Reus continues to improve his transition from Western to English. The first show in 2019 resulted in a win and a Reserve Ridden Championship at the ApHC UK Spring Show.

July – Reus won the Small Hunter Class at Hanbury Countryside Show and qualified for Royal International Horse Show 2020 (RIHS).
August – We participated at the ApHC UK & BApS National Show, Reus successfully executed patterns and a jump!
Behind the scenes we are enjoying riding him out on the Malvern Hills and taking part a local flat work, pole work, cross-country and show jumping clinics.
