The Supporters Club everyone is talking about
The story so far…
Nick and Amanda Gauntlett have been breeding their “Party” prefixed sport horses for four generations from their secluded family farm near Badminton. Rosa’s Party (by Party Trick, himself by Badminton winner Chilli Morning) went to Le Lion d’Angers in France for the World Championships for young horses and the idea for the Party Horses Club was created. With their 2 boys; Henry and Arthur, Nick and Amanda enjoyed the owner experience so much they wanted to share it
