Nathalie took a trip one of their local shows on 17th August, Arthington Show. It was a good day as their homebred Yearling Filly ‘CROSSINGTONS ARABELLA’ not only won her class but went on to be Junior & Overall Supreme Champion.

Their next outing sees them go to Wensleydale Show this Saturday (23rd August) where they will be hoping for another good result.

Then their final show of the year will be at Pen*stone in September.
