A few of our gang and pals were in France over the weekend, representing Team UK in the Gauchoux 2*, 3* and 4* events.

It was an amazing performance from everyone, but we think special congrats should go to Rosie of Edinburgh & Lothian Mounted Archers who absolutely OBLITERATED the competition on the Tower track!

And last, but by no means least, congratulations to the newest British Champion, our very own Richard Addison 🏆

Richard was joined on the podium by our adopted/ honorary members Rebecca Louise Hills and Leia Sunter. We were also so pleased to see our Emily Massey and Katie Jones Equestrian placing in several events.

An outstanding showing from RVMA and pals. CONGRATULATIONS EVERYONE!

Congratulations to our coach Charlie Madeley! 🏹

Ive had an amazing weekend full of horseback archery. Judging a 1* competition for Ribble Valley Mounted Archers and introducing a family to the sport thanks to one of our youngest Wales and Wirral Warriors members hosting a clinic, lending my leather working skills to help with some quivers and... passed my level 2 straight track judge :)
