Last weekend, the third ever Horse & Hound Festival of Eventing took place (25—27 May) at Keysoe, in Bedfordshire. Countless combinations took part in the 70cm, 80cm, 90cm and 100cm classes, run in the format of a three-day event.
The sun shone (well, most of the time, anyway!) and horses and riders had the time of their lives over beautifully built courses and in a fun and friendly atmosphere.
Here are just a few of our favourite moments…
1. Serena Allery and Pocket Of Silver, who won the Spillers 80cm title
