Back home after an amazing weekend at HOYS. So honoured to be invited to join my friends Simon and Harry on their first HOYS adventure.

HOYS is the premier UK horseshow, so no wristband so for us. Oh now, we had wristlets. And two at that!!

It was surreal watching my friend ride around the International Arena. Somewhere that felt so familiar even though I’d never been before.

Reggie was a delight to look after. He’s such a sweet boy. But no-one tell Buddy that I’ve been with another horse (or two hundred). He’s still my favourite of course. Though there were a few showjumpers I’d have liked to sneak in the lorry.

I’ve walked a marathon in the past 48 hours. Literally! I ache all over, I am beyond shattered and I feel like I could sleep for a year. It was such an incredible experience and one that I will treasure.
