Thursday News & Notes from TerraNova Equestrian

Some special news coming ahead of Pau at the end of this month: Gwendolyn Fer’s European Championships and 5* partner, Romantic Love, will be formally retired on Sunday following show jumping. This pair won Pau in 2017, adding to their pile of five FEI wins and 17 top-5 finishes spanning a 13-year career. Many happy returns to this incredible horse!
