THE eventing season in Britain has stuttered to a start, being plagued by the weather, but one rider more delighted than most that her campaign got underway last week was 24-year-old Irish international Susie Berry as this year she is competing out of her own yard, Glebe Farm.

The purpose-built facility lies between the villages of Grafton Underwood and Cranford so, not only has Berry remained in Northamptonshire, but she is based just 20 minutes away from her mentor and friend, Piggy March (French), who she joined in 2014 on the advice of eventing coach, Terry Boon.
