Hi everyone

Laura and Thomas here:

We best be getting our shoes shined! As H+P sponsors The Pony Club showjumping champs, we’re off to the Pony Club conference at Aintree next week and the Princess Royal will be there. Very exciting, I have practiced my curtsey ready in case we get an invite to shake hands. Ginger McCain, who trained Red Rum and Amberleigh House (Grand National winners) will be doing a talk along with Jen and Sarah from the H+P team so it should be a good day out.

But yet more exciting than mixing with royalty, it’s mine and Jennie's birthday next week. I become a grow-up on Tuesday - turning 21 and Jennie becomes a little wiser turning 24 on Friday, so it will be birthday card central in the H+P office!
