Couldn’t be happier with my beautiful girl on just our second ride in the arena.
Sassy is so smooth and moves effortlessly….she is definitely the nicest horse that I have ever had the privilege of riding.
Oh, and to say that I bred not just her, but her mother as well is a proud breeder moment.
Love her ❤️❤️

My 3rd little sit on Sassanelle (aka Sassy Smurf) today and I am starting to feel my way towards being confident to trust her.
She had a little spook and then continued on which is always nice 😬
Won’t be long and I will be zooming around my arena 🤞🤞
…..
Safety stirrups and an air safety vest are to go.
It was good management to put a bright pink ribbon 🎀 on the airvest attachment strap. I’m sure I would have set that thing off multiple times by now without it 😬😬🤣
……
Thanks to my chief safety officer and videographer, Peta Fenton-Anderson.
Multitasking Level - Expert
It has been three years since I last found myself in this position and here I am having my first tentative ride on a baby 4 year old.
…..
Here is Davrol Elsie.
She is by Wolkentanz II and out of Davrol Diamante who I sold last year as an Advanced / PSG horse.
Elsie was backed last year by Renton Crook-King (Susan Veal) in September and then has had a gap five months of lounging around in holiday mode.
Huge thanks goes to my offsider, Peta Fenton-Anderson, who has been playing with Elsie on the lunge and long reining to get her ready for the start of a beautiful dressage career.
……
And in the blink of an eye Sassanelle has had her first ride under saddle with Renton
Crook-King.
…..
Four years is too long to wait….said me never !!!!!
……
And then this happened 😁
……
When you are in the moment with Leonie Bramall coaching and she says do a change.
…..
Well, here are Davrol Debonair’s first attempts at flying changes.
……
Stay in the moment and don’t think and just do. What a good boy 👏👏
…..
And, yes that is Leonie and I laughing after his first attempt.
….
Our beautiful Elsie is ready to come
home after being started under saddle by Renton Crook-King.
By all accounts, Elsie has been an A+
student in all subjects 👏👏
…..
Thanks again Renton and Susan (RNS Equestrian) for taking such good care of my baby horses and starting each of them with
thought and compassion.

During December the first of our 3 year olds headed off to preschool with Renton Crook-King and @susan_crookking for a short two week stay.

Domino isn’t really convinced that he has been placed in the correct classroom 😳
The Queen of Davrol is home.
Long love the Queen 👸

Of course, when the beautiful Nathalie Martinsson of www.unicornvideos.com weaves her editing magic you have to have the video memory for when you hang up the gloves and spurs.
