Oh so true 💚

This image captures the essence of the relationship between a coach and an athlete. It shows how coaches invest pieces of themselves—knowledge, experience, passion—into their athletes, helping them grow, excel, and reach their full potential.

Behind every great athlete is a coach who believed, guided, and gave more than just instructions. They pour time, energy, and heart into molding not only the athlete’s skills but also their character, resilience, and mindset. Coaches are mentors, motivators, and sometimes even life-changers. They give so much of themselves to see others succeed.

To all the coaches out there—thank you for your selflessness, dedication, and unwavering support. You shape not just athletes but also leaders and strong individuals for the future. 🙏

School holidays are almost over. We had a very busy two weeks. Camps, Equimillion competition and more camps. Thanks Ballodair Park Equestrian Centre for allowing us to ride and train at your centre. 🤞🤞 The training pays off when the team goes to Tamworth next week.

Another wet day means another fabulous day riding and training at Ballodair Park Equestrian Centre. Thanks again to Karen for allowing us to use your facilities to prepare for some inter-school competitions coming up.
The girls had a great training session on the outdoor arena. You wouldn’t think we had any rain the way the surface looked and rode 🙂
Thanks again to Australian Horse Arenas.

Nothing else needed. Read and thank those beautiful school ponies Xx

They are never just RIDING SCHOOL PONIES❤️🐴

One day you may move onto bigger, fancier horses, but never forget the school horse who made you, as without them, you wouldn’t be able to ride anything at all.

The patient soul that tolerated your bouncing while you figured out how to sit the trot.

The kind mare that didn’t walk off when you stumbled up the mounting block, trying to get your foot in the stirrup.

The sweet gelding that picked up the trot even though your body was telling him to do the exact opposite.

The saintly angel that never spooked, which was a dam good thing because your balance was precarious at best.

Too often we forget where we came from. We move on to the next chapter in our lives and say, “Oh my gosh, I’m learning so much! I’m going so far! I could never do this kind of thing on that old school horse!”

But infact you could, you were just not ready to do all these things back then.

But that school horse gave you the confidence to move forward. That school horse took care of you in all respects and allowed you to take the time you needed to find your way. You couldn’t have become the rider you are today without that riding school horse, always remember to love them unconditionally for our riding school horses are what help start your dream, make dreams come true and get you ready for those bigger dreams 🐴

When your arena is graded and horses saddled and ready for two private lessons (booked last week) and your client forgets to come 😞
Turn your frown upside down and go for a trail ride before your next rider arrives 🙂
