A number of my friends recently got together and gathered donations to put towards the construction of a new cross country jump at Berrima Horse Trials, in memory of my darling Freddy.

The first phase of the jump was completed earlier this week, in time for the Spring event this weekend. It is currently a 1* and 2* complex, but eventually it will be furthered developed to include all the grades.

We had a dedication ceremony last night to celebrate the completion of the jump, and to remember Freddy. There was plenty of wine, a few tears and lots of laughs – it such a lovely evening spent with some wonderful friends, and I’m so touched by their generosity and support!

A few photos from the evening:

Pink decorations & refreshments – inspired by Freddy’s cross country colours

The jump – 1* corner on the left, 2* corner on the right

The memorial plaque & a very cheesy grin

Some of the wonderful people who made this all possible!
