Jonelle said “With the season drawing to a close, sadly the time has come to officially call time on these two incredible mares careers and break the news to Molly that she won’t be going to Badminton!
They have done so much for my career – taught me how to compete on the world stage and together made many dreams, reality. I will miss them hugely and forever be indebted to them for all that they did for me. Trisha Rickards, not only their owner but one of the most knowledgeable horse ladies I’ve met, thank you for entrusting me with Molly and Maggie’s journey. I owe them everything”.
