The ups & downs of bringing on young horses, challenging monthly exercises, tried & tested product reviews and putting equestrians in the spotlight…all in a day’s work for NoBuckingWay
Well its our final August Monthly exercise and I have to say, I’m kind of sad to see this month end. To finish off, we decided again to ask our followers what they wanted to see and once again jumping won out (I’m starting to see a trend here).
