Sharon keeps us updated on her progress so far...

Sharon is now settled in to her lovely new yard in Kent and so far the season is going really well. Jasper (Tankers Town) won the advanced at Belton and is going to Badminton so watch this space for her results after this weekend! Sharon's other advanced horse, Kenny, was 9th at Burnham Market and 4th at Belton and is now going to Chatsworth and Bramham.

Sharon's intermediate horses are also going well, Red Amber won at Belton and the young horses are going fantastically. Hot of the press, Silbato won yesterday (Sunday 25th April) at Nurstead in the BE100 and has been in the top 10 in all his outings so far. Cavalier Bertie did his first event at Munstead and has been in the top 5 in all his outings. Her new ride, Bambi, is very exciting. She was placed in two BE100's and has just upgraded to Novice and came 7th at Nurstead.

Keep an eye on the website for more news on Sharon and how her season is progressing.
