So here it is, the big news! I am thrilled to finally announce my sponsorship with Griggs. I am really looking forward to an exciting season ahead with NPS Figi and Edeon Dos Grous. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank Griggs for…
So, one month in to 2016 and my ‘plans’ from last months blog have already changed. My plans for this year with Zippy was to get him his double clears and then maybe sell him, but that happened a lot quicker than I thought.…
