Better late than never!

Better late than never!

Some fantastic recent results for long term client Sarah Tickner and her gorgeous pony ‘Percy’ at the Equestrian SA awards night, being awarded Dressage pony of the year! Congratulations Sarah and Percy! So glad to play a role in your journey and success together 👏🏻 🥳

Congratulations to Sarah Tickner riding NILTON DEL PIERRO
Nilton Del Pierro (“Percy”) is a 7 yr old Part Welsh gelding bred by Sally Creswick of Nilton Stud (Bamborough Academy × Nilton Spice).
Percy was purchased sight unseen by Emily Tickner in August 2018 as an unbroken 2 yr old. Emily educated and started Percy’s dressage career before moving to Sydney, leaving her mother (Sarah) with a collection of ponies and cats. Sarah decided to dust off her boots and take over Percy’s dressage education and relive her competitive horsey childhood.
With his kind, comedic nature and a fondness for carrots, Percy tolerated the change of rider. He has won numerous major national dressage prizes this season, including Welsh Achiever from the Welsh Society and the ASPR Grand Champion Dressage award.
I would like to thank Dr Ruth Taylor, Paul Snape, Helen Whittle and Kaitlin Petney for keeping Percy happy and in beautiful condition. Percy will have to endure living with “the Tickner family” for life!

Although I have done well so far to avoid it, I have now unfortunately tested positive to Covid-19 🦠

I apologise to all clients this has affected and will be in touch to re-schedule your appointments (from the 30th of April).

I will be taking some much deserved R&R (as well as some Uni catch-up) throughout this time and look forward to seeing you and your horses once I am fit to work in the coming weeks! 🐴

Thank you for your patience and understanding 🙏🏼

Congratulations to sponsored rider Courtney Munro Equestrian and her lovely young horse Bellhaven Candy on their success at Wandin! You two have a very bright future! 🎊

Bellhaven Candy 🦄

A very clever 5yo - the only horse to score over 80%

Still so impressed with how well she handled the atmosphere, and extremely proud of the horse she’s becoming.

Was so awesome to receive her rug, garland and especially her feedback from the judges today with some very positive comments. “Very pleasant to watch” would be my favourite!

Thank you Wandin Park for such an amazing event and International Animal Health Products for their sponsorship of the Young Event Horse class. I am looking forward to trying your generous prizes.

The lovely Prince of Fences loving some Red Light Therapy as part of his treatment this morning. Nothing like some quality R&R in order to prepare for his race this weekend! 🐎

20/02/2022

FYI - I currently have available several weekday appointments in the next 2 weeks, if you have been thinking about booking your horse/s in for a treatment (without the wait time) now is the time to do so.
I am headed back to Uni in the coming weeks and as a result my working hours will drop significantly. Bookings will be required roughly 2-3 weeks in advance as ONLY weekend appointments will be available going forward. I apologise for any inconvenience and look forward to visiting you and your horse/s soon! 🐴

To all my lovely and loyal clients, I am excited to announce that Uni + exams are now finally over for this year 🤩

LAST MINUTE CANCELLATION! - Adelaide Hills Clients I have 2x appointments available this Thursday (30th). PM me to make them yours! 🐴

(This is my last availability in the Uni holidays, appointments will strictly be made on Mondays or Weekends from next week onwards). Thank you 🙏

22/09/2021

I have been absolutely run off my feet during the first week of Uni holidays that I haven’t even had the chance to advertise any upcoming availability! 🤩
I have several days next week where I am able to squeeze in some more appointments (Monday 27th, Tuesday 28th, Thursday 30th) - please inbox/text to book an appointment asap - these won't last long!!

Not only do regular bodywork treatments make us aware of any niggling issues arising so we are able to get on top of them asap, regular treatments also assist greatly with muscle injury prevention. Regular bodywork is a must have in your horses regime, especially when we are asking our horses to perform at a high standard 🐴

Due to current lockdown restrictions all appointments for the next 7 days will be rescheduled. I will be contacting those affected to make alternate arrangements.

I apologise for any inconvenience, fingers crossed that we get on top of this outbreak and I'll be back up and running soon 🤞

Thank you for your understanding 🐴

To all my loyal and much valued clients, due to current work limitations (only available to work 3 days a week due to University commitments), it was determined that a small price increase was required. These prices also allow for travel costs.

Please find my current 2021/2022 price list attached to this post. Thank you for your understanding 😊🙏

The lovely Squeak very much enjoying his well deserved treatment last weekend 🦄

Squeaks regular treatments ensure he is in optimal condition for the work he undertakes -
not only do regular treatments make us aware of any niggling issues arising so we are able to get on top of them asap, regular treatments also assist greatly with muscle injury prevention. Regular bodywork is a must have in your horses regime, especially when we are asking our horses to perform at a high standard.

I have some availability opening up over the next few weeks while on Uni holidays. So now is the time to book in!
From the 26th of July I will only have availability Mondays, Friday mornings (Adelaide Hills clients only) and weekends. Thank you for understanding 🙏🏼

I do currently have a 2-3 week waitlist on any appointments but ensured I dropped everything on Thursday when Michael asked me to take a look at Reynolds ensuring he was in perfect order for todays big race and I'm so glad it payed off, what a win!! 🐎

A huge credit to Michael's training, to Reynolds strapper/rider Gemma, all connections and the entire team behind this gallant horse, I am absolutely thrilled for you all! 🥂🎊

Introducing our next sponsored stable - Adelaide Hills Equestrian Centre!

Home to Craig Andrews & Carla Cerchi. Between them, Craig & Carla have collective experience in training and competition in Dressage, Eventing and Showjumping; making them an all-round Olympic discipline duo. Their aim is to provide high quality training services, agistment and competition performances on a national scale.

Their services include lessons across the disciplines, horse training in various stages and arena hire, clinics and are currently growing their small property in boutique Meadows to be
a multi-use Equestrian Centre. How exciting! 😍

Introducing our newest stable sponsorship - Michael Hickmott Bloodstock 🐎

While traditionally, much of the focus of Michael Hickmott Bloodstock has been to source and develop quality horses for the Asian racing market, the philosophy has changed recently with the purchase of Lakewood Stud in 2020. A new era dawned for the business and a lifelong plan and ambition saw Michael allow himself focus on racing rather than selling.

Thanks to the hard work of his young and enthusiastic team of staff and with the backing of both loyal and new clients, Michael has announced himself as a trainer on the rise in the 2020/21 racing season. The stable’s tally of winners grows by the week and, as things stand, Michael remains on track to challenge for the title of Adelaide’s leading trainer for the season.

I very much look forward to working with both Michael & Jade and seeing what we are able to achieve with their very successful team of racehorses! Very excited about this new partnership 😍
Congratulations! 🎊

Hi All,
Please note now that the uni semester has once again kicked off, appointments are generally booked out about 3-5 weeks in advance!
Much of March is almost fully booked!
There are just a few appointments left on;
Wednesday 10th March
Sunday 21st March

I know this can be an inconvenience, so I do encourage regular clients to lock in recurring bookings so they don’t miss out.
Not only does that make it easier on your schedule as well as my own, experience shows that horses with regular bookings generally do see much better results.
If you would like to grab one of these March spots for your horse, or chat about setting up a recurring booking please PM me via the page.

Thank you! 😊

Hitch up your float and go somewhere different! Horses benefit from a change of scenery, both mentally and physically. Riding on different surfaces, up and down hills, across slopes and through water can improve your horse's balance and will strengthen different muscles. In addition to this, horses, like people, benefit from facing new challenges.
