Looking back at the 2023 shoot season, we were worried that it would be a summer like 2022, cancelling shoots from the extreme heat. As it turned out, that wasn’t so much of an issue. Even our rescheduled photoshoot with showjumper Yazmin Pinchen-McCulloch was cut short due to a dramatic thunderstorm and sudden downpour.
But we didn’t let the weather dampen our spirits and being at Hascombe Stud – the home of Tom Whitaker’s horses – with such fantastic facilities meant our day was still a success, and Yazmin’s jumping exercises have given us plenty of inspiration for training over the winter months.
