COMPETITION TIME!!!!
We haven't done one of these for ages, so with 'all horse's birthday' coming up on August 1st, we thought, PERFECT timing!!

We have a 45 minute FREE lesson up for grabs, and all you have to do to enter, is dig out one of your favourite photos of you with your horse (or any horse) and add it to this post!

Yep, that's it.
Kitty Soft Paws will choose her favourite, and it will be used as our profile pic for the month, as well as landing you a free lesson. 🤩

Winner will be announced on August 1st!! (Some conditions apply, lesson time availability etc)

Welcome to Term 3!! 🐴🐾

Hope everyone had a nice break and is ready to get back into it!

Winter has well and truly found us now, so unfortunately there'll be a higher chance of late lesson cancellations due to weather, arena condition or illness.
We will press on as best we can, and also try to accommodate 'catch up' lessons if necessary.

After school lessons will remain at 45 minutes duration at this stage.

Love love love this!

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 🐴

💥BLUEDALE EQUESTRIAN MID-YEAR SHOWCASE 💥

All our students have been working so hard improving their skills, that we thought it might be time to show off a little of what they've learnt!

Saturday 29th June all current students are welcome to invite family and friends to Bluedale and present their best demonstration of skills learnt with their equine partner.
In the rush of everyday life, family members often don't get the chance to see their kids ride.

Have you learnt to canter? Show it off!
Able to jump? We all want to see!
Confident lunging your pony? Go ahead!

This is a free event for our Bluedale families. 🐎🐎🐎

More details to come!

There's been some talent coming through so far this week, but special mention has to go to Stella, for her amazing trotting tonight!

Stella and her pony managed to trot 8 times within the hour, all off lead, and with confidence!

Super effort, well done!
