❗️Cancellation Policy Update❗️

Hi everyone ☺️
Just a quick note to help keep everything running smoothly for both you and me. As many of you know, the freelance aspect of my business, I plan my days carefully around confirmed bookings and travel between yards. When rides are cancelled it's really hard to fill that space - and it does have an impact on my income and schedule.

So, to keep things fair and consistent going forward:

🐴 Once a ride is booked in, it's chargeable in full, no matter how much notice is given.

🐴 I invoice weekly for ALL booked rides, *including* any that are cancelled. You will be charged for the time I allocated for your booking (e.g I was booked to ride multiple horses in that booking)

🐴 The only exceptions are if I decide to cancel (for example, high winds, icy ground/ frozen arena, injury) or your horse is lame.

🐴 A bit of rain or cold weather won't stop us! 🌧❄️

I really appreciate everyone's understanding - this policy just helps me plan my days, keep things fair for all clients, and ensures your horses get the care and consistency they deserve.

Thank you all for you ongoing support!💛

(Effective immediately, this applies to all bookings going forward.)

Apologies for the radio silence, I've been a bit rubbish with using this page recently 🙈

But here is Mr Ralphy, Susanne Tucker and Charlotte Tucker 's gorgeous 3yr old warmblood, having his first proper sit on this evening, well I actually sat on him briefly yesterday 😅 but didn't get a photo until tonight 🙈

He's only in for being lightly backed as he's only 3, he'll be turned away when he goes home to mature a bit more, before his education is continued next year. Been super duper on the long lines and taken everything in his stride so far 🦄

Well, today marks a very important day in my history 😂 in almost 30 years on this planet, today was the day I lost my dressage-virginity! Obviously always understood the importance of flatwork for our jumping etc, but I've just never done a dressage test in my life... 😅 🙃 Corrina and Lauren's lovely boy JJ did 2 fantastic tests! And the icing on the cake - we got a 2nd and a 1st 🥳 68.6% first test and 70.65% second test. Considering how nervous I was 🙈 I think those aren't bad results for our first dressage together and we only had a week to prepare for today. He's such a scrumptious boy 🥰 and so chilled about it all. In fact he spent most of the time sunbathing between tests 😂. Katie Adamson

Really enjoying training this lovely chap at the moment 😍 he's so handsome, and just so super clever!
Just in for some schooling and teaching him to be less reactive to his surroundings. So far he's been a star 🌟

Photo is a bit blurry due to dirty lense 🙈, but had to share this moment of, not so little anymore, 3yr old Lizzie having her first, unexpected sit on today (hence no ba****ck pad!) 🙈 she was so perfect on the long reins and laying over, we decided today was the day 😃. So chilled out. She's done very little considering I only get to work with her 2 days a week and not every week all the time, probably only been doing her for the last month 🤔. She's going to be a little gem 😍

🌱 Just the Beginning 🌱

There’s something incredibly special about starting a young horse. That first saddle, that first ride—it’s not just a milestone; it’s the foundation of everything to come.

Backing isn’t about "getting on and going." It’s about listening, earning trust, and giving each horse the time they need to understand and feel confident with the questions they're being asked. Each step taken setting them up for future success.

These youngsters aren’t being "finished" —they’re being "introduced". This is just the beginning of their journey. Good foundations take time. Watching them grow—physically, mentally, and emotionally—is one of the greatest privileges in the horse world. 💫🐴

🧡 Welcoming little Sienna 🧡

We had a new arrival Thursday 10th July early hours of the morning. My gorgeous showjumper, Lou, gave birth to a stunning filly foal. My very first homebred (and last 😂 after all that stress). Over the moon, she's exactly what I wished for 🌟 🦄 and Lou is being a fantastic mother - her first foal too!

Looking forward to carefully sculpting and developing her into a wonderful young horse in the future 🔮.
