Day of first timers for Aston Novice day

Two more ‘first timers’ at Aston today… In the form of Evie, my gorgeous and excitingly athletic homebred, doing her first Novice!! And my first event ever with new boy Joe! Evie did me proud, feeling very capable at her step up, even if she did make a baby mistake on her learning curve- I was so excited at her long term prospects and the wonderful feel she gave me! 

Joe was THRILLED to be at a party again after a time out of competition between jockeys, and I have to say, I’m also thrilled half of him belongs to me… He’s SERIOUSLY classy!! He chatted away to himself all day as he was so excited to be partying, and we earnt our first placing together- hopefully of many! A competitive 30 dressage put us in 6th place after rolling one in the show jumping… Two more exciting team members to keep an eye on!!!

    Jess Storey
    Yard Manager/ Competition Groom

    Jess joined the team as a trainee back in 2020! Apart from a very short stint spreading her wings, she quickly decided that we really were the family she wanted to be a part of!! I hope Jess will be my Jackie Potts, as she treats the whole team as her own family, and keeps the cogs turning smoothly- even during our tough times!! 

    Bryonie Ellis
    Apprentice

    Bryonie is our wonderful Apprentice, and despite her diminutive size, she is definitely mighty!! She shows such commitment to the team and is a such wonderful and critical part of our family. 

    Monica Leggett

    Monica is the newest member of FDE, and is proving to be a great help in every aspect of our yard life. Her wonderful positive attitude; her capability in the yard and on a horse is a very welcome addition to the FDE family!!
