CSI Oliva Nova 2023

28.02.23 Once again we started the new season in Oliva Nova, Spain. After a successful MET 1 in January with our 6 horses, the MET 2 in February was sadly cancelled after the second week due to an EHV outbreak. So we all landed in quarantine instead of jumping in the sun! We were reminded again that our sport is not only about the results, but also how happy and thankful we were to return home safely with all our horses fit and healthy.

Merry Christmas...

23.12.22 ...and a happy New Year! Julia & Jason
