*EDIT - FULL

It’s nearly time to say goodbye to Louis and Zig as their 6 month holiday with us is coming to an end and they return home at the end of August 😢. I therefore have 2 stables coming available from 1st September for part/full 5/7 day livery at Backnoe End Equestrian Centre in Thurleigh, Beds.

So today’s school report…..hmm! MJ warmed up quite nicely but other competitors were saying their horses were spooking at pretty much nothing during their tests so of course so did she, several times 🙄. She was dicking about so much in some of the corners which eventually threw me off and I went wrong which cost us 2 marks. And she decided to be all fancy pants and did a beautiful flying change when we were supposed to change the leg through trot over X 😂. I was surprised to see I got the red ribbon - turns out I was the only entry in the Novice, however I was absolutely elated when I saw our score - 70.71% - our highest ever!! That made me feel better about being the only entry as with a score like how could I not be happy? The bad bits were obviously not bad enough to affect the overall score and is very encouraging to think if I hadn’t made a mistake and she hadn’t been difficult at times we would have been on for nearer 75%. Maybe one day! Anyway David Breed suggested bubbles tonight to celebrate my PB and I need no excuse to have a drink! It’s strange to feel like it was not our best test, yet it was on paper which I guess is what counts in the dressage game. And the main thing is it’s always nice to go out and enjoy my beautiful sassy mare whatever the outcome. Couldn’t do this without my fab trainer Matthew Cox. Thank you to my lovely support network of friends who were there today and took some smashing photos and videos - Lauren Hunt Jocie Hunt Jane Dippolito Gaenor Keating and congratulations Zoe Armstrong on your great score with Elsa 🥰 🥇 💃 🥂

Look at us go! Just wow! MJ felt incredible today (despite properly throwing her toys out of the pram during counter canter 😂). Fabulous photo by Matthew Cox which captured, in his words “a Valegro moment” 🙌🏻. Really happy with my position too 😁

Had a brilliant cross country lesson with the fabulous Jane Dawson today! MJ and I had so much fun and it’s nice to get back on it as for various reasons it’s been almost 2 years since we last did it. Its been a tough 3 years on and off with her but I feel like there’s no stopping us now 😊🙌🏻

While I was slaving away in the heat today someone wasn’t doing much work at the yard 😂

So today was the day we stepped up a level. I must admit I wasn’t feeling it this morning what with work, pi***ng rain and fitting a competition in. I had thoughts of getting the yard done and getting home for 10 and having a nap! But then I started thinking but what if we did well, what if we even won, I’d never know so the FOMO kicked in and I started plaiting up. Well…..we did do well and we did win! MJ was just fabulous and very rideable today (despite being wound up by a stallion 🙈) and we scored 68% in our first Novice and got some super marks including a few 8s! I’m buzzing my t**s off and MJ seemed very pleased with her sash. Just goes to show how putting the hard work in gets results with 5 weeks proper training towards the step up. I’m over the bloody moon and what else is there to do when you’ve only gone and won your first time at Novice? Crack open the bubbles! Thank you to my amazing trainer Matthew Cox (still can’t believe how far we have come) and to my lovely friend Faith Chapman for being my cheerleader today. Absolutely cannot wait for the next one!

New friendships forming at the yard this week. The 2 girls Nellie and Nala were very friendly over the fence but when buddied up they just ignored each other and grazed at opposite ends of the field so was lovely to see them grazing together today. Then Oscar decided to buddy himself up early with Smokey and Kingsley by going through the fence to be with them within a few hours - they are definitely the 3 amigos! 🥰🙌🏻🐴

Had a fabulous time today at Fancy footwork poles and grids. MJ was on good form with a fair bit of sass thrown in to keep me on my toes! Looking forward to seeing the videos and professional photographs. Went full on matchy matchy today in Eskadron Soft Peach 🍑 🙌🏻😎👀

When the sun comes out it can only mean one thing for poor MJ - bath time! Yes, she hated me for it 😂
