C&S Horses and Ponies

Breaking in and re-educating horses and ponies. We take on off the trackers and surrenders.

15/01/2024

Wee man Toby has left for a trial at what may well be his new home! Best of luck little dude, we'll know in two weeks how it all goes 💫

06/01/2024

Maple was up for sale this week! I didn’t even get round the posting her here and she’s sold! ❤️❤️❤️
Next week an eye out for Sassy and Bob. I’m sure they won’t last long on the market either.

27/12/2023

Sold

24/12/2023

Little Regal Begal is on the market and he’s going to make someone so happy. 😍

18/12/2023

Sometimes all you need is some time away from the racket of life 😌

16/12/2023

It's important to get out and about and push beyond your comfort zone 💪 stepping outside of your box looks different for all of us. Today Regal checked out at a loud running creek and gained a bit more confidence out on the trail. Toby was happy to treck over to the water, but it took him a minute to get over his rider tiny spraying him with detangler out of the blue 😅 both of them did really well in the end and had a great day out 🐎 little steps go a long way for our growth 🌳

14/12/2023

Provy and Ruby are getting back into work after 3 weeks off. 🤭

12/12/2023

These two 😍 they’re going to be worked and ridden daily the two weeks before their add goes up, so you’ll see them a fair bit. 😀

11/12/2023

Regal will be up for sale in 2 weeks, so I’ll be posting more of him until his add goes up.
He’s only been under saddle about 6months and so needs an owner who’s going to be consistent and patient but as you can see he’s easy to teach and is ready to do pony rides with kids.

10/12/2023

Taking Regal for those long walks so he’s prepared for pony rides on the trail. 😍

03/11/2023

It’s lumpy and lacking elegance but as you can see Maple started getting one or two sideways steps. 😍

01/11/2023

This week we labeled bending week. We made it about doing more difficult turns and beginning some sideways movement. ❤️

26/10/2023

This is a small update on Foxy during transitions week! ❤️
Foxy is an 18yr old thoroughbred who is definitely more coordinated than maple haha. She can easily do more difficult transitions and keep her balance, but whatever levels transitions is still useful for any horse.

25/10/2023

We’ve started labelling each week and choosing to focus our rides on that thing.
Transition week is how it sounds, all about making those cues lighter and more responsive.
This is Maple my 6yr old standardbred mare. She’s uncoordinated and will possibly never make a dressage ring but she’s the best trail riding horse you could ever ask for and you can see how nicely she listens even if not “aesthetically beautifully.” Haha

19/10/2023

I’ve sat on her many times now and lay across her many more but I’d put this as the first ride as it’s the first time I’ve asked her to step forward!

Provy is the most reactive horse I’ve ever met (response to most new things has been bucking). First week was spent being able to touch her with ropes and flap stirrup leathers and ask for basic manoeuvres!

She’s been handled all her life and me and her owner really don’t understand why she’s such a tough nut to crack!

I initially came at her guns blazing as most of my recent horses I’ve had under saddle in a few days if not then a few weeks, but as Provy just wouldn’t take it I’ve stepped back further and further and now we work at the snails pace she enjoys.

I don’t like getting on dangerous horses, every horse is different and I’ve began to learn to trust my gut as to whether or not to get on a horse.

Some horses are honestly so unbothered and are happy to go for a canter first ride!!! Yay for that! Others need time, and I don’t have a timeframe for when Provy will canter under saddle. I just know if I’m feeling scared it’s likely because she is, so I go slow until we’re both ready. Yay for that as well ❤️.

Even though it doesn’t look like much I am proud of her!

05/10/2023

I know we’re almost always acting silly and very far from professional 😅 but I can honestly say us feeling happy does seem to rub off onto the horses. Though maybe them also feeling silly isn’t always ideal? 🤷‍♀️

04/10/2023

Whilst her younger paddock mate was getting her first canter, Provy was getting sat on and scratched.
There’s no bias of love but Provy just doesn’t like things moving too fast, so I’ve figured it’s ganna be one step at a time always with her. ❤️❤️❤️

03/10/2023

This fortnight everyone is going to learn to self load!
I’ve not always been good at teaching this but I finally feel as though I’m on the right side of it as the horses are getting the right idea pretty fast now. 😍

02/10/2023

Toby is getting close to sale ☹️
He’s been our main pony rides pony for a while now but he’s got to that point where someone else could easily enjoy him. So soon Regal will have to take over as our main kids pony. 😍

02/10/2023

Okay here’s the children interactions these ponies need!

01/10/2023

Admittedly she’s a very lazy horse and she made us work for the canter 😂
But she still did brilliant and am very proud of her.

29/09/2023

Cool as a cucumber 🥒

26/09/2023

Why not enjoy your first time being ridden!?

25/09/2023

Super pleased with Regals improvements! He still has a stallion moment and reverts every now and then but overall he’s been doing incredibly!
I don’t think he’s likely to be up for sale for another 9months to a year though as he needs more time spent with the kids before he’s ready to be a kids pony 😉

23/09/2023

Ruby eager to line herself up as she truly lovely doing all these exercises!

21/09/2023

Probie on day three, she’s a nervous nelly who’s very cynical of this whole ordeal. I took some extra time just getting her to face and acknowledge me which once she did she calmed down a tone.
Not every horse is the same.
She’s had a saddle on three times but seemingly out of nowhere started up bucking again.
She’ll take her time to trust and process and that’s fine, no need to rush to the end.

18/09/2023

Old Lady Foxy has come back into work!
Foxy was found abandoned on a 300acre property. After being taken into our care she developed lameness issues.
This last 6months we’ve worked on hoof rehab and she’s also had some chiro and she’s been looking so good!
She’s now 19 but looks as though she has many good years ahead!

17/09/2023

This gorgeous girl is also being started under saddle. Day two and she wasn’t okay with things flapping, or people being above her, or stirrups being touched etc, so we worked one by one on each of her fears and lastly I was able to place my feet in each stirrup. There’s no race to the end!

16/09/2023

Starting this lovely lady under saddle! She’s the most loveable curious queen who takes everything in her stride. Day two she learnt to line up along the fence and let me mount so here I am 😋 loving life.

14/09/2023

Toby has blossomed into such a brilliant little kids pony these last few months. He'll look after the boisterous 4 year old who wants to trot around the paddock and the 7 year old slowly gaining confidence to steer and ride alone. We can't wait to see how far he'll take his little riders in the future!

Kenny is being started under saddle! Of course being a standardbred who has raced it can be assumed he’s going to have basic steering and know what it’s like to wear a lot of tack. I always start with a few easy groundwork exercises then begin to add tack then move towards mounting, if at any moment the horse gets worried or overwhelmed then that’s the thing we spend the day working on. Kenny was apparently unbothered by anything so I didn’t have any fear sitting on him. The horse chooses how far we go in each session!

Ponies still need their exercise!

Regal 😘

Toby is going to be for sale in the next month. He’s 5yrs old and has spent almost a year under saddle. He’s a nervous boy but a reliable little champ.

Foxy is the only horse I know who can trot so tightly. Kind of crazy to watch.
