It was another successful outing at the recent Premier League held at Valeview Equestrian. A couple hours north drive for us from our yard, the venue is located in the heart of Leicestershire. It was my first time at this venue since being in the UK and it didn’t disappoint, the venue is immaculate, great surfaces, tidy stables and a fantastic cafe on site! Everyone there were so friendly and welcoming.

Dutchy (Ji Alda) made us very proud again by producing a confident and tidy test for the Medium class to take the win with 69.93%. She goes from strength to strength and is proving to be a fantastic competition horse, she seems to love the attention and fuss and is like a seasoned veteran when we take her away. Dutchy’s owner Lucie Stokoe made the trip up to support us which is always good fun and a laugh! There is a super team around this gorgeous horse.
