Just wondering if any of my FB friends can help,

This year I’ve been accepted into the BHS charity race in November at Newbury course (more details to come!!) I need to find a racehorse trainer local ish that I can ride out with once/twice a week and would be willing to lend me the horse for the race. Huge ask I know but I am a competent rider with lots of references

Please share and hopefully we can have a good day racing

THEN vs NOW - in for the long haul

As a coach you must remember your clients look up to you for guidance.

We all work to progress and there is always room for improvement, sometimes this may feel like an ever-growing list to become better.

I had a memory pop up on Facebook of the day I qualified in blue chip for the first time, this was two years ago (two bottom photos).

Looking back, I can see now where my position needed improving that and I could have done better. The top two photos are the last couple of times recently that I jumped, so now I can see the hard work and the time I have spent in improving myself.

Sometimes progress is slow but when you get there, it’s worth it!

If you told me back then, that I would spend the next two years on a rollercoaster ride personally and professionally, I would not have believed you.

We all have something to work on so when you’re at cross-roads, close to breaking point, sometimes you just need to look back at where you’ve come from to give you that nudge forward.

Could not say this better myself

🥰🥰Being stronger than the thoughts😍😍

Last night many of us would have watched the amazing 5 star competition in 🇺🇸 Marylands. What a result 🇮🇪🇮🇪 Austin and his Mount Salty moved up from 4th after XC to WIN……..an overdue fantastic result ❤️❤️

Something that touched our hearts watching this competition was an interview that Austin did on TV straight after he won. He stated that results like these don’t happen to people like him……….he is one of the best event riders in the world and has the best relationship with his horse but he still thinks he’ll never beat the people who he thinks are ‘better’ than him! Then he went on to say he had been privately thinking of putting someone on the horse who would get the results the horse deserved………….again he had been doubting himself, one of the BEST eventers in the world had been doubting himself that Salty needs someone better!!!!!!! So from watching from the outside this result for Austin has come at a perfect time and so well deserved but also………..

It just goes to show what your own mind can sometimes tell you, you start doubting yourself, you start to think you can’t do what people think you should be doing, you start thinking what others might be thinking over and over again………….but all the time you are doing amazing and in the bigger picture achieving things all the time! Sometimes whatever gets in your mind needs a reality check and you need to realise, ‘wow I’m actually doing GREAT ❤️’

Austin well done and thank you for being honest. There was not many dry eyes last night watching you ……. Roll on your next results 🥰🥰

(Austin is also supported by the amazing Childeric UK and Orange Horse Consultants 🍊🍊)

Just back from a weekend coaching and riding at Chard Equestrian. First time at this venue and would 100% go again, friendly vibes and good food - what more would you want!

It was big weekend for me as first stay away for a long time after a very unlucky/unfortunate year

Greta was in great form for a couple of 6ths, it good just getting back into a rhythm of jumping. She’s really started to come into herself now and grow up!

Fantastic weekend for Nay Rathmell who stepped up to 105 and came 10th! A 4th and a 6th for her also!

Massive thank yous all round to everyone who helped get me back to this point!

Sourced a fantastic new horse for a client from Mark Fyfe🦄🦄

Took Nay Rathmell XC schooling on her lovely Gracie - the ground at Tweseldown was perfect despite the weather ☔️

Nay also went to Pyecombe and had two DC’s at 90 and 95 and then went to parwood and had a DC I’m the metre and 6th! - good job! 🏅

Fantastic day doing some stage 3 teach preparation at Laris Farm!📖

I went showjumping and the fantastic star went DC and 6th at her first show, Greta was ever reliable 💕
