Pre-ride snack and a quick ba****ck ride for the boys 🐴

Making a kid’s pony out of Duncan ❤️

Duncan, a very green broken highland pony gelding, going for a splash in the dam on this very warm day. Watching from behind the ears of his full brother Guinness, who didn’t fancy getting his toes wet.

Sunset rides on the amazing Guinness

And just like that, we now have our second and final mare, Devonfield Bronte, confirmed 30 days in foal to Gillean of Liosmor (owned by Sue and Kendall from Rosemarkie Highland Ponies).

Duncan having his first ride with a saddle in a while. It was nice minus the biting flies!

Happy New Year to all our friends and followers!

We have some very exciting news to share! Rosemarkie Matilda has been confirmed 30 days in foal to Rosemarkie Archer. This cross will be a full sibling to Rosemarkie Winifred and we are so very excited!

Thank you to Sue and Kendall for, once again, another amazing opportunity!

We are a bit lazy around here. Why use a saddle if you don’t have to? 😂
Duncan sure doesn’t mind a ba****ck ride 🥰

Just a few photos from yesterday.

How handsome is he? 🥰

The two beautiful mares of Ruby Ridge. Rosemarkie Matilda and Devonfield Bronte 🌸

Little miss Winifred getting a good leading lesson in (not that she needed one!)

The best photo I could get considering Stirling is on a downward slope and is poking his tongue out. But it’s amazing to see how much he is maturing.

26/11/2023

Stirling is filling out and looking rather grown up now. Both him and Guinness came straight up for pats. Love these gorgeous boys 🩵

Bronte and Matilda thought Christmas had come early with this trailer load of hay

Happy Birthday Stirling! 2 years old and such a cool looking lad. To celebrate his birthday, here is a video of his birth.

Don’t mind the huffing and puffing. This was up the top of a very steep hill that I had just sprinted up 😅 Apparently if a mare shows no signs of foaling in the foaling yard, they will decide to lay down and foal the second they are let out!

Duncan at the foundation 1 clinic this past weekend. My mum and Duncan have created quite the relationship this weekend and now that he is back home, it’s all about consistency to keep Duncan moving in the right direction.

21/10/2023

With sick kids and a million things to organise this spring, I’ve been a bit slack on updating everyone on Duncan’s progress at Orange Oak Horsemanship. We had handover the other day which meant we got to ride and get to know Duncan as a pony who has now commenced his ridden journey. Thanks to Matt and Tyson for once again putting a solid start on another pony of ours and for Lauren for getting videos and updating us during the whole process.

This video is of Tyson riding Duncan and Matt riding Wilbur, the Shire, who was also there getting started under saddle.

Duncan settling in at Orange Oak Horsemanship to be started under saddle for the next couple of weeks. Exciting times 🤩

The sweetest mare amongst the sweetest little cherry blossoms 🌸

Matilda and I admiring the new fence.

17/09/2023

Matilda and Winifred aren’t too sure about the big lump of Percheron cross on the other side of the fence 😂

13/09/2023

When the c**t is cat calling you all the way up the driveway but his charms don’t affect you in the slightest 💁🏼‍♀️

11/09/2023

I could stare at him all day 🥰

Duncan and his little shadow, Wini

Taking advantage of the nice weather to go outside to play with leaves and watch the ponies ☀️

A foggy morning here at Ruby Ridge

24/08/2023

My spunky little boys! Peep Stirling with his tongue out.
Guinness certainly showed me that spring was coming today when I got him out for a bit of work 🤪
And as you can see from the shadows, the boys aren’t going to fade away anytime soon.

Fitting in a little bit of training when I can. Only in a halter at the moment, but we now have a bit of direction, forwards and stopping, along with the leg aids that we’ve established with ground work first.

This was from the other day when the weather was tolerable! But Stirling is always happy to see me 🩵

Duncan going for a swim and snack!

Stirling and Guinness letting off a bit of steam in the cooler weather!

While I’m not able to ride for a little as I’m recovering from surgery, one of my longest friends, Amelia has been riding Guinness for me. Guinness is starting to ask “what happens if I stop near the gate or turn into the middle of the arena” and here is Amelia working on impulsion and direction to show Guinness that he isn’t going to get a rest near the gate or in the centre of the arena. Very happy with these two and thankful to get a talented rider to help me out! ❤️

And a nice little trotting video! A lovely note to end the ride on. Thank you so much to Matt Bleby and the Orange Oak Horsemanship team for doing a lovely job breaking this one in.

Apparently the first time Guinness was taken over a tarp, he did it exactly like this. No funny business whatsoever! Can’t ask for more than that!

Up and over the platform! So honest and tries his hardest

What a cool dude! Guinness is looking like he is going to be an outstanding ridden pony. This is our second update from the breakers that we got last week. Orange Oak Horsemanship always do such an amazing job!
