BURGH SPURS 2026 ⚪️🔵⚪️🔵

Well, what can I say? Saturday was a belter of a hurl! What made it better was being surrounded by all the great friends I’ve made over the last 2 years! You all made this wee man very happy!

Thanks to everyone that made the day what it was, especially Paul for organising and leading the ride and the farmers for letting us through their land.

Thanks also to Edinburgh & Lasswade Riding Centre, Lesley Douglas and Tower Farm for providing our horses, The Fleming Arms for hosting the celebrations after the ride and the Taj Mahal for catering the event.

Thank you everyone!
