Woodstock Eventing released the following update on the exciting results:

“We had a great event over the (last) weekend riding for Julia Strawbridge at MDHT. We competed 4 horses all at the Training level for their first runs of the year. In each division, Julia’s horses lead the dressage and finished on their scores to win 3 divisions and come in 2nd to myself on the 4th. Thank you to Carolyn and the amazing team at Loch Moy for putting on a world-class horse trial!”
