I’ve just had the ride of my life: I’d be better calling it having a canter round the Palace Grounds. This horse is the classiest gentleman I could wish for, and when I think about his huge heart and eagerness to please it just makes me want to cry. Smokie has just jumped the easiest clear round an ENORMOUS 3* track at Blenheim Palace. I know I’m sitting on a real one when I can come back so comfortably. He’s only 8, and my word he’s going to grow into something EVEN MORE special… Thank you to the team that support me: my girls at home keeping things ticking; and my wonderful sponsors, supporters and friends. @spaldinginternationalsaddles @franklinbillard @equimaging @westvilletherapyunits. It was wonderful to walk down to the start box and see my new 1 week old niece Olivia for the first time- there to cheer me on with bro, Emma & little Thomas, who’s already trying to nick my ride… Made my day even more special. #Imsolucky
