A week ago, I picked up this sweetheart of a horse - Trigger! Welcome to the family, buddy! My goal is to find him a lovely home once we get him up and running! 🐴

Trigger’s past is a bit unknown before the last 2-3 years, during which he hasn’t been ridden much. I’ve let him settle in this past week, giving him some tender love and care, including feet, teeth, lots of equissage, and soon a chiropractic session.

Yesterday, in the wind, I thought it was a good time for his first proper ride in 2-3 years. Sometimes I wonder what I’m thinking... I did sit on him briefly when I first met him a couple of weeks ago, but it wasn’t really a ride. Anyway, he was amazing! He behaved perfectly, walking and trotting around like he belonged here his whole life! I didn’t push him too much, just let him move along gently since he’s still a bit tender and stiff. Wow, he’s going to bring so much joy and safety to someone! I’ll ease him into work slowly, and I’m excited to see the final result! 🌟

So I know everyone hasn’t seen much of Donnie lately, sadly he has had to be turned out due to a number of body changes and issues. Thankfully he is the mend and is now ready for some gentle work and strength building for the next 4 week prior to jumping back into training as per normal! YAY! 🥳

Donnie has been making it very clear that he has missed being ridden and has been lining himself up at the mounting block when doing our ground work at liberty, and of course I finally gave in and gave him what he wanted! Photo of our very gentle 3rd ride and well he definitely has is work boots on and spring to his step! ❤️

For those interested, Donnie has a major growth spurt around Christmas time which of course I thought it best to rest in paddock. Whilst resting I believe he did something to himself and has made him a little crooked and holding a dropped rib cage on one side and weakness through one hind end. We thought we recovered from this a few months back and attempted to bring back in slowly, however was showing signs of being uncomfortable, lack of forward movement and sticky in hocks. Of course being a helicopter mum, I noticed the slightest of swelling in his hocks and of course began to rest again. A week or so after turning out, swelling developed more and off to vets we went. Thankfully no damage or major issues, however on vets instructions we rested for ANOTHER 3 months. Hopefully we are out of the woods and Donnie is seeming so much happy both in paddock and out. Fingers, toes, legs, eyes and ears all crossed in hopes we get smooth sailing now and building up his strength to support his new wonky body! 🤞🤞

So I think Dreamy has definitely decided that Jumping is her all time favourite thing to do! 🤣 Can’t say her dressage is as pretty but she will get there!
