N°01The story so far

From never having ridden, to the European circuit.

Hollybank is the largest equine estate on the island of Jersey. For twenty years it sat quiet, paddocks reclaimed by gorse, stable doors leaning on rusted hinges, the arena lost beneath the grass.

Rebecca arrived without a riding boot to her name. She bought the estate, and she set herself a parallel restoration: bring Hollybank back to life, and learn to ride it, properly, all the way to the show-jumping circuit of Europe.

What follows is a record of both: the stones being relaid and the strides being learned. Fast, but real.

The pursuit of excellence.
