Ben Way – Head of Butler Sherborn Equestrian previews the Team Way Horses for 2023 Season
Ben, Associate Partner of Butler Sherborn, looks at the prospects for the coming eventing year
The horses came back in from their holidays just after Christmas, and their pre-season fitness and conditioning work is in full swing. At this time of year, they all get a full ‘MOT; which includes visits from the dentist, physio and chiropractor. Our competition season starts in March and runs through to October. We have got an exciting string for this season, with a good mixture of older horses establishing themselves at the higher levels, and some younger horses moving along, together with some new faces.
Having finished the season at Blenheim last year in the 4* Short 8/9 YO Class, our two top horses, Gun Law and Annsfort Simba will be heading to Ireland in the spring, for another 4* Short. They will then be aimed at a 4* Long later in the year. The aim for these two horses is to start ticking the qualification boxes for the 5* events, like Badminton. Our national Young Horse Championships have, this season, moved to Cornbury Park which is such an impressive venue, made even better that is sits in the Cotswolds!

Richard Greasby Runs Another Ultra Marathon - Running In a Land Of Fire & Ice
There was a certain inevitability that soon after my double marathon in the Atlas Mountains in 2024 that I would be open to another challenge whilst legs, health and my wonderfully supportive wife Carol allowed. This has all followed a growing, but unplanned, running adventure since 2019 with 14 ultra marathons and over 6000 training miles (including 100-ish half-marathon training runs). Needless to say, my physio is seeing more of me than ever!
