Pippa Funnell training Goddaughter Isabel, daughter of Tina Cook, and Daisy Bathe, daughter of former five-star eventer Charlotte Bathe — lucky girls!
?Such fun having great friends Tina Cook’s and Charlotte Bathe’s daughters down. God daughter, Isabelle and Daisy Bathe, demonstrating riding in a quiet disciplined way, their positions helped enormously by having had a lunge lesson and having had them riding without stirrups.Social distancing at all times.
