2024, what a year you have been ๐
A year of Dreams coming to life ๐ซถ
With some Drama shoved into the mix ๐
We've welcomed new people and horses, and said some goodbyes to some special people, though not true goodbyes as they never get rid of us that easily ๐
This year has taught me so much. Most of all to just live life in the present more. Take in all those special days and celebrate them ๐ค
Another year of enjoying the journey ๐ฅฐ
Thank you to all the wonderful people who have supported us all this year (you know who you are ๐), owners, sponsors, clients, liveries,Friends, my fantastic home team,to Tessa Thorne Nikki Hand and my long-suffering parents and husband ๐
Happy New Year, everyone โจ๏ธ
We wish you all the best and success for 2025๐๐๐๐
Goodnight, Yall ๐ over and out for 2024โ๏ธ๐ช

Well, last weekend saw us wrap up 2024 with our last competitions of the year, and Pam Murphy 's, the Murphy Brothers smashed it out of the park, with 5 wins ๐ and all personal best scores ๐
First up Manny, finished his Elementry Gold qualification with a double win, and 2x personal best scores of +71% and +72% ๐๐
Not only this, he kept his composure and focus (more so than than the camera man, who got more distracted!๐คฃ) whilst a loose horse was having a great time flying near our arena and warm up ๐ฑ thank you Equine Exceed calmer bites.
Thank you to Deborah Ann from Ahead For Sport for helping me with all the mental focus and tools to help me as a rider deal with the unexpected ๐๐
As always Clever boy Manny ๐ค

Mrs Woods Dancing Dave ๐บonly went and WON the PSG silver last week ๐ฑ๐ฑ๐๐
Slightly late to post the party but im so, so proud of Dave, especially as our last few competitions leading up to the regionals and area festivals, he had a slight confidence wobble in-between the whiteboards, but we have worked hard, and he came back fighting ๐ช
With only a few PSG under our belt together as a partnership, he truly tried his absolute best for me ๐
As always, thank you and Clever Boy Dave ๐ค
Special thanks to his owner, Mrs Wood, for entrusting me with her boy and sticking through the journey ๐ค
To Ahead For Sport for helping me with our mental and confidence blocks ๐ซ

Regional preparation is underway, with a fantastic day at the office with Pam Murphy U-Gino.
2 X wins ๐ with +69% and just shy of 71%!!!
After a break from competing to learn his changes, God, I missed dancing with the Big G in-between the white boards.๐
Wonderful comments from the judges, and he even acquired a Big G fan club โค๏ธ๐คฃโค๏ธ๐คฃ
Clever boy, Gino ๐งก
And to top it off, my wonderful Dad got to spend the day with me and watch us dance together, which was so special ๐ฅฐ
Special thanks to Nikki Hand for being a fabulous support as always ๐

The Murphy brothers, getting their dancing shoes on at our last piaffe clinic.๐บ๐บ
First up, Manny ๐ค, who is one big ball of endless energy, loved the idea of bouncing up and down on the spot ๐
Next up, Big Gino ๐งก, definitely showed that at +18hh, he is getting stronger ๐ช showed some amazing steps, and WOW ๐ฑ, did we unlock a new turbo trot, if you can watch all the way to the end! Believe me, you won't want to miss it!!
Manny and Gino are both half brothers ๐
And though they are totally different horses to ride (size being on factor), they both share the most amazing trainable temperament.
I'm so proud of these boys' progress this year. Thank you, Pam Murphy ๐ค onwards, for summer regional season!

After a great schooling session with Pam Murphy Manny, why not have a cheeky pop over the cavaletties as a fun way to end a session ๐ช
May need to dig my GP saddle out next time, but boy, look at that canter rhythm ๐ textbook๐ฅฐ

Pam Murphy's Big G ๐
We have been working hard at home, building more strength and self carraige, and we are starting to see the results ๐ ๐ช
Can't wait to get this boy back out in between the white boards again after our training break.
He tries so hard for me, clever boy Gino ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ

Apologies for the repost! But Facebook removed my previous post for some unknown reason ๐คท so let's go for take 2!
Mrs Woods Just Dave, dancing his way through our 2nd PSG together for a win of our section ๐ค.
Lots of progress gained from our last PSG with the trot work scoring highly with lots of 7.5!!!!
We came across some moments in the canter work where we just didn't quite get it together in a test situation.
As a rider, I totally over rode/under rode some parts (Slaps wrist!) ๐คฆ๐คฆ Thank you, Dave, for being very forgiving of my shortfalls ๐ฅฐ
So much learned as our partnership continues to grow and develop further. ๐ช๐ช
Onwards for more homework, hardwork and looking forward to the journey ahead ๐
