About Me

Sophie: I'm Sophie and i'm a horse rider and groom, as well as a volunteer for the Retraining of Racehorses. I have an 18.1hh Belgium Warmblood named Erik who I have on loan. Follow how we get on with our events and day to day life. I'll also give updates about my sister Georgie and her Retrained Racehorse Beanie aka Historical Giant and my pony mad niece Francesca and her pony Ronnie. I love blogging so I'll be writing about events etc that I attend such as showing, polo, cross country, at the races, at a point to point, show jumping lesson, vet talk or country show! I'll be regularly updating this blog with all everything horsey and what I get up to in the countryside throughout the days, weeks and months.
