The Trail Challenges have yielded their rewards for me. Interestingly, a ribbon can generate considerable enthusiasm. With world show qualification achieved, dedicated practice is necessary. This will be my last event of the year. After that I might socialise again. 🤣😂

Are you seeking a stunning performance and or pleasure horse with a heart of gold and great looks to boot? Here she is...Our PEARL is for SALE.

Having graced our lives since she was a 4-month-old foal accompanying her dam, Cattle Girl, we’ve had the absolute delight of watching Pearl blossom into an exceptional mare boasting grace, skill, and a photogenic presence even in paddock condition.
Pearl’s journey with us has been adorned with numerous horsemanship clinics and diligent training sessions, ensuring she is well-prepared to succeed and excel in any equine discipline. As an adept riding horse, she exudes both the allure for show rings and the versatility for diverse riding experiences.
Currently, Pearl is back in active work, showcasing her readiness to embark on a new chapter with a rider who values superb quality. She is offered for sale to genuinely interested buyers who appreciate the refinement and dedication Pearl embodies.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a mare of such calibre, trained with love and care, eager to perform and achieve excellence. Be sure to latch onto this prospect quick, for a horse like Pearl is a treasure that does not come by often. See details below.

Welcome to another Trail Obstacle video with instructions for you to play with.

This one has lots of small half and full circles and therefore requires you to bend and flex through the obstacles and includes walk/trot transitions to test your horses self carriage. Have fun and let me know what you think in the comments.

Welcome to FTP Coaching. I would like to take this opportunity to share another one of my trail challenge courses that I am participating in for this month. ...

🚀🎉 Just wrapped up our polocross season last weekend and what a ride it’s been! 🏇🔥 From campfire shenanigans with friends to us racing across the fields on our horses that made us look amazing when we carried this white ball. We won some, lost some, but the real victory was the laughter and joy we shared. 😄🥂 Check out some snaps from the QLD Championships at Tansey where we snagged some fab prizes thanks to some amazing sponsors! 🏆📸 Here’s to great times and even greater memories!

Happy hump day everyone. I like to share with you another obstacle course that you might like to ride. Again this one is very basic however it is asking for you to ride several half meter circles with the correct bend. Try it out in a walk first. In the meantime I will get some footage for you on how to ride it in a trot.

Enjoy and let me know how you go.

Warwick polox was another great event with our horses performing beautifully.
Set up Friday afternoon with a lovely dinner made on the BBQ. Early start on Saturday getting all three horses ready for games and umpiring. Music and Jewel did not disappoint mastering two games without any issues and Remi was the star of the camp umpiring three games with 3 different riders. The little man is becoming the go to when a spare umpire horse is needed in our group. Too funny. Needless to say he had a very good night sleep.
Sunday was a more human start for us with the our first game at 9am. The weather was amazing and the weekend was all up a success apart from the tyer blow out on our way home. After a mounting a new one we were back on the road heading for home where we arrived safe and all happy.

This little dog of ours just ❤️ her horses

Guess who I jumped on the other day. Just WOW...after 2 foals and not ridden for 2 years she just goes and shows her stuff...

Only real fingernails can get thus done...

1st ride back on Music on the trail through the back hence my video struggles. Then again pretty smooth considering.

Tried to get some footage but no chance...these two don't shy back in their communication on what they want. Confidence with a nice balance of respect. Too cute and both are characters and so different...

Reflecting on Golega 2023 and a great adventure through Portugal. We will be back.

Our Portugal - Golega holiday has come to an end. It was fantastic making new friends and catching up with old ones. We got to ride some amazing horses. Just one out of many little clips of horsey shenanigans....

Polox season done and dusted (literally) for 2023. We had a ball. Thanks to everyone who was a part of it. Huge line up of clubs with more the 70 teams at the Cunningham Champs. Gold Coast did great from the Juniors to the top level. Darren's team missed out by one goal and my team rocked in the beaten final H grade. Super weekend. To our horses: They did us proud all year. When we shine it's 80% there doing. Thank you Music and Jewel for getting us to the ball, stepping up when it counts and more importantly keeping us safe. Jewel, you are a rockstar coming back after injury stronger then ever. Keen to win. Late bloomer this one and now she certainly is out there. Music your stamina to play all year without any issus across all grades shows how amazing you are. Next year we will have the back up crew ready for you both to take some pressure off. Massive thank you to my friend Tanja Weinbrecht who looked after our place while we were away many weekends. You are amazing. It's a wrap.

A truck full of horses, great weather, amazing fields, friends and fridge full of food and drink. Fantastic weekend with great games. Some we won and some we lost.

Someone had fun yesterday...

One of my favourite mantras is: Less is More. It encourages me to continuously ask and challenge myself to practice 'How little I can do to achieve a positive outcome from my horses'.

Killarney ppolox weekend. Congrat to all the Gold Coast teams winners and runner ups. Super weekend of good games.

No he is not for sale!

Little Mighty Star getting the bucket of his granny by throwing himself into it full body attack.

It is that time of year again where I have to get into a more serious routine to get all things done that are planned. Here is someone that seriously distract me from my tasks. Even the mums find this too much at times...

Now she is pissed that she was not invited to play in the arena...Porscha letting it rip...

One has to go straight back to it to investigate just to make sure we got this...
