Outing to the Blenheim Horse Trials
Residents at Penhurst Gardens set out to the Blenheim Horse Trials for a day of dressage. It was a glorious day filled with sunshine and smiles. A light lunch was enjoyed while having front row seats to the main highlight against the scenic backdrop of Blenheim Palace. A special opportunity presented itself in meeting the friendly Fairy-tale, who is a pure white horse that made fast friends with our residents but unfortunately did not divulge the location of any eligible princes!
