SO PROUD & SO PRIVILEGED

I don't only train showjumpers...

A few years ago I was approached and asked to help train the Mounted Police which I did at our home base.

A lovely guy turned up with very little riding experience but with plenty of focus and determination. He certainly thought some of my techniques and methods were unusual but I knew where he needed to get to and I wasn't about to let him down!

His assessor used to come and check on his development and typical me wanted to ensure they were nothing short of impressed by his progress ☺️

A few years on and enough time passed since such a monumental moment in history and I wanted to share this with you all.

The image to this post is the Queens funeral. Front and centre on the big grey is that lovely guy, Sergeant Astley of the Metropolitan Police.

He messaged me just recently saying "thank you for the beginning of my riding career" but really I would like to thank him for trusting me to be a part of it as it was an absolute privilege.

He finished his message saying "All thanks to you essentially" but my job is to help educate in the understanding of horses and the techniques that allow you to whisper to your horses, the attitude, approach and what you do with that is up to you and his success is all his own.

I actually don't think I have ever been prouder 🥹🙏🏼

This is what dreams are made of ✨

If I ever question why i do this. In the cold, wet never ending winter. At 4/5am most Sundays. When the kids are crying and the ponies aren't trying. When everyone tells me they can't do it and they never will...

THIS is why I keep going...FOR THE LOVE OF PONIES because no matter how hard it gets, we are all little girls that love ponies and I have the absolute PRIVILEGE to be involved in their journey and help make their pony dreams come true.

So to all of you, whether you own a pony, loan a pony, borrow a pony or get to ride a pony - however hard it gets, never forget that we love PONIES not ribbons. No one ever dreamt of winning a ribbon WITHOUT a pony...

Welcome to the world of pony ownership Willow 🦄 where you will never be ill enough for a day off 😜 and you will never stop looking at the weather app 🌧️ ☀️

Can't wait to watch the rest of the journey with you and Prince 😘

Love the BLISS OF LONDON - Saddle makers of distinction bridles but love that we won a Bliss rosette to put on it even more 😜🤩 talk about colour coordination 🩵😍

Buying bridlework can be difficult for those with horses that take different size pieces, that's why we have our 'build your own bridle' on our website so that you are able to purchase different size pieces dependent on what you require!
Here is the gorgeous Gem in her Loxley Cavesson with the cutaway headpiece and Bliss 'Bling' browband.

💙💛 Pony Of the Year Show 2024 💙💛

A great show for the girls and the ponies. Our aim was to get used to the new(er) ones and start pushing to be a bit more competitive on the others and the girls delivered.

Clotilde & Fly had a super show, jumping loads of double clears, qualifying for both Grand Prix finals and finishing in the placings 🧡

Clotilde's new one, Gem was an absolute saint taking it all in her stride their relationship is developing and the rounds got better and better as the week went on, they even qualified for the Grand Prix final, though had a bit of a nasty fall on the last day, both pony and rider are all okay 🩶

Halo & Minna were going for it and although they were unlucky with a bit of 4fault-itus they jumped into the Grand Prix final and through to the jump off for a few poles after an exhausting week! 🤍

Nessie and Minna are going from strength to strength and it looks like it's really coming together for them. Some nice double clears, qualified for the Grand Prix final and now ready to rev up a bit in the jump offs 🤎

Yesterday they were all re clipped, shod and had plenty of field time, today they have massages and some more R&R before we all head off to Blue Chip on Friday...!

Thank you so much to everyone, especially the team at home 🏡 🙏🏼 we couldn't do it without you! .rockall .showjumping

Anyone available for some weekend yard work? 🧹🐎
Straight forward, nice yard, flexible hours. Please get in touch if interested 🙏🏼🤞🏻

13/02/2024

The first step towards success, is the decision to try.

So proud of this pony and of course, Amelia who is continuing to produce her exceptionally.

I'm not a believer in rushing young or inexperienced horses but when they love the job and have the strength and confidence in themselves, we can ask the questions.

Today Oreo jumped her 5th show, she already has all 4 BN double clears, is working towards her 4 discovery double clears and today had a very positive play around her first Newcomers 🌟

NOW AVAILABLE ❗️2022 filly by Silvester out of 16.2 Selle Frances mare that I used in my training centre, I trained riders on her (non competitively) to jump up to tracks of 1.20.
She (the mother) was incredibly brave and would have been an excellent eventer but was busy doing her training job. Unfortunately she had a tendon injury so I put her in foal. This filly is bold, calm, very nicely put together and well handled (headcollar on/off/ lead/ farrier). She happily lives out or in, in an open barn. She will be a big mare, 16.2+ I imagine. Born bay, will go grey.

25/01/2024

NOW AVAILABLE❗️2022 gelding by Prometheus out of 16.2 warmblood jumping mare (Bonheur x Querry) from Heartbreaker lines. I know the mares previous owner and they jumped her B&Cs before she sustained a tendon injury, they then bred a few lovely foals from her before I had her and one of her foals to keep a clients foal company and for me to breed alongside my other mares.
He looks to be very talented indeed, he is quite compact and a real character, quite a cheeky happy but well behaved, loves a fuss, keen to learn and well handled (headcollar on/off/ lead/ farrier). He happily lives out or in, in an open barn. He will be somewhere between 15.2-16.1 I imagine, I bred him with my junior riders in mind to have a nice children on horses type. Very very dark bay, looks black at the moment though he isn't, some nice white markings.

25/01/2024

NOW AVAILABLE❗️ 2023 filly by Glencarrig Tempest out of lovely sweet coloured 14.3 Irish pony (also listed). Super cute filly was born looking almost dun, I'm pretty sure she will go grey, looks roan at present. Bold very sweet, very grown up and very polite to be handled (headcollar on/off/ lead). Should be a super pony for the future, sadly available as reducing numbers.
