Another brilliant training day on Saturday with Andrew Gould.
The sun ☀️ was in the sky from start to finish.
So much progress from everyone!
Stevie was so good and as chief editor he appears twice 😂
August dates to follow 👌

Think Zigs has had a fun half term ❤️
Just had to check Maisie’s stickability and give her the birthday broncs 😂
10 combinations yesterday at our second Andrew Gould training.
Well done everyone in what was very blustery conditions! 💨
Andrew is here again on 18/05.
Super super ponies!
With my Music qualifiers done for Summers, yesterday I could focus on my last sheet needed for Area Festivals at Swallowfields in the sun ☀️
Consistent as ever with a 66.38% in the Medium 61.
Now to take a little break as I head to the US at the end of the month (whoop! 🙌🏻) on my return I have time to redo my music to try and improve our scores.
When Jo’s away Jen gets to play with PoPo ❤️❤️
Hands up who thinks Po needs to do some dressage 🙋🏼♀️

Popped to Addington this evening to check on Andrew’s use of the centre line 😉😂
A valuable part of what we practiced ourselves last weekend. Albeit not canter pirouettes!! 😵💫
So lucky to have this incredible venue on our doorstep where we can watch International shows for free! 🤯
Maisie & Ziggy clear today in the 80cm 👏
Watching their partnership grow is something special ❤️🥰
We love this little ginger nut 🌰
Addington Equestrian
Homework this weekend
Maisie is much braver than I ever was at 11!
Ziggy absolutely flying ✈️ wow this pony is a super star!
Some little snips of our winning 🥇 test from Sheepgate Area Festivals.
I would recommend anyone to have a go at music 🎶. I have been doing it since my Pony Club days

Pony Club Rally number 3 in the bag for Maisie and Gaz this evening.
I have lots of fond memories of Friday night rally’s at Wing.
What a clever spotty 🫶🏻
So we might not have seen the Red Arrows today but we did get to see this!
What a privilege!
Maisie and Cosmo celebrated the Coronation today flying over some appropriate fence dressing 😂👑🇬🇧
So after a few days of rain/sleet/snow I made the most of the new pond 😂 🦆
Safe to say Stevie will never make it as an Eventer 💦
Good old Sylvia did 2 trips today 🚛
I had a fabulous lesson this morning with Andrew Gould courtesy of Central Dressage …. Granny didn’t do any videos as she was too busy watching (🙄) but we are feeling confident after a good tune up as we head into our first High Profile and Regionals in 2023 …. Eeekk!
Then this afternoon we popped to Addington Equestrian with Cosmo for a Whaddon Chase Pony Club rally.
Maisie had a few sticky moments but that is all part of the learning… here are their good bits 😍
Back to Addington tomorrow for a run through of my music 🎶

Frozen puddle + kids = hours of perfecting your skids 👌
Stevie and I had a very exciting trip to Arena UK last week and felt super privileged to have hit one of our major goals for 2022 and competed at BD Petplan Summer Championships at Medium Bronze Freestyle to Music 🎶.
Although I was disappointed with our score I really do feel so proud to have competed at a Champs in our first year at this level.
Thank you to my lovely friend Louise for this little video 🫶🏻
Makes such a difference seeing friendly faces at shows 💪🏻
**nice little trip there Stevie 😂😜**
