A little time lapse of how beautiful Cinny is to handle and gear up, she’s advertised in this weeks Andrew Wilson sales and will only be here until next Saturday if she doesn’t sell at the sales today.
This horse is seriously so lovely 🥰
TITAN UPDATE 💙
We also did some float training with Titan on Tuesday, we found that if we tried to put too much pressure on him to go onto the float is when he would have issues. Once we took a step back and gave him space he was much easier to deal with regarding the float.
His owner had no issue getting him on, just that he would not stand long enough for her to be able to do up the back on her own. So we just worked on getting him in and standing still and only coming off when asked to start with. We will continue the float training and hopefully by the time he is ready to go home, we will have him self loading and happy to stand there all day so his owner could go have a cuppa before she comes to do the back of the float up and he will still be standing there patiently.. - Okay, maybe not but you get why I mean 🤣
Yesterday, I just plucked him out of the paddock and saddles him up and jumped on. We just went for mostly a walk as he’s had quite some time off, did a short little trot around and called it a day. Was such a good boy and stood so beautifully to mount
💙💙💙
CHASE UPDATE 💙
Tuesday
We worked on some float training as his owner had a hell of a time trying to load him to bring him over to us. At first he wasn’t having a bar of it and became quite flustered. Once we got him to stand and think for a minute, he relaxed and started listening to us.
We managed to get him up and standing within about 5-10 minutes. We came on and off a few times and then tried on the other side and he was all good so we left it at that. We will do more float training throughout the rest of his stay.
Wednesday
Chase is such a cool dude! He can be absolutely terrified but remains calm and thinks about his actions before reacting. He’s still got a fair way to go from being RDA ready but he’s slowly coming around. We’ve had him out on a couple shorter trails but yesterday we went out for a good hour or so. Where we really got him to stretch out into that trot. We even got a little canter - even though his owner never canters and wasn’t phased on us working on that aspect. He was happy to be out and popped into a little canter up a hill.
He was looking at absolutely everything along the way but he is still level headed and bold in his movements and happy to go ahead, even though he’s silently terrified on the inside as I don’t think he’s been out on too many trails before. He didn’t show any signs of spooking or taking off, he was just alert and looking at everything (even though his body kept trying to follow his head wherever he looked 🤦🏻♀️😅 it was quite cute though lol)
These are qualities that make a solid, quiet horse. He definitely has them, we just need to help bring them out!
💙💙💙
Chase went on his first trail ride with us this morning, he absolutely loved it! we were accompanied by Cinnamon and Ozzie the dog ✨✨✨
☀️ Some fun in the sun with Jett & Ruby yesterday ☀️
It’s important to make time for your own babies when you work with other peoples every day! 💙🧡
For those of you that have been following along with Jett, he’s feeling MUCH better now thanks to the team at Ballarat Equine Clinic. I’ve got my spicy boy back 💙💙💙

2016 / OTTB / 15.3hh / chestnut / Mare
I can’t believe we haven’t had anyone come and view this treasure yet, she seriously will make someone very happy!
A few little snippets of Chase’s groundwork session today. He went from being extremely reactive to everything, to calmly walking over the ✨scary horse eating tarp✨. Even though he was terrified, he was still very respectful of my space and tried his heart out for me.
Still a fair way to try and get this fellow ready for his owners but we’re going to do our best to get him to that point and to provide a safe, level headed horse for them to ride & love! 💙💙💙
A formal sale ad will be posted very shortly for this sweet girl! Get in quick to come and meet her!
Cinnamon 🧡🐴
🧡 CINNAMON CLOUD 🧡
Cinnamon had her first ride with us this morning, I hopped on first then Bella had to take her for a spin too (she loves the chestnut, thoroughbred mares 🤣) her owner has said she’s not been ridden in about 3 weeks and it was like she hadn’t missed a day!
She was very well behaved, has a solid foundation and is very snappy with her queues & transitions and will take the right rider far!👌🏻🤤
This lovely little girl is up for sale and will be available for viewings in the next 1-2 weeks 😊
I’m feeling on top of the world right now! I finally got to have my first proper ride in 11 months, of course I had a few sneaky sits during my pregnancy and I’ve had one small ride since having little man 8 weeks ago but MAN IT FEELS GOOD to be back!
I think it’s easy to take for granted how magnificent these creatures really are when they’re all you’ve ever known since you were a baby basically, and when you’ve had to sit on the sidelines for so long, it just makes you appreciate them so much more!!
I think Jetty boy loved the run as much as I did, check out those ears!

Chester opening the gate 🤩
Chester had very quickly become a favourite around here, how could you not live this little guy! 😍
Tom 💕
Tommo having a little lunge whilst waiting for the farrier this morning 💕🤩
Jezabell 🤩
A nice icy ride today for Jez, first time with a quarter sheet on and she was a gem 👌🏻
Worked on some steering today as she has a lovely little habit of bulging through the shoulder and running through the bit. She became quite soft to pressure and supple towards the end of our ride. 🥰🤩
Chester ✨
Chester also has his first long reining session today. Was a little harder than Bubbles as he just could not care less about the ropes and wasn’t listening to any forward queues 😅🤦🏻♀️ once he got the hand of it he worked nicely 🥰✨
