Jo was excited to take on the talented coloured mare, Volatis Oriana, owned by Lucy Bridgewater, earlier this year and she has not been disappointed.  Volatis Oriana qualified in June at the Midlands Counties Show and will be ridden at HOYS by her owner Lucy.

Time 2 Reflect, or ‘Betty’ as she is known as at Moor Farm, gave an incredible performance at RIHS earlier this year. She took the lightweight hunter class and championship title and went on to claim the overall Supreme Ridden Horse Championship. Owned by Diane Stennett, it will be an exciting time at HOYS for Betty.
