Good morning!

28/05/2024

Yesterday evening saw the arrival of Declan. He has come from Yorkshire for a month of training. He is a 4yo ex racer.
I just love the thoroughbred, I saddled him up hopped on and headed out on a hack on his own, well we had Potts the dalmatian for company. He was delightful ears pricked up and keen to head off down the track!

As you may have read or known I took to the road and headed to Osberton 2* recently with Jack .
This is a huge achievement as you may not know what Jack was like when we first met.
I always believed in him and my ability to understand his issues.
This was him BEFORE I met him and why I met him (I am not riding him in the video below) and the recent 2* which was not perfect or clear but a huge step up and forward.
We are so lucky to have the full support of his owner .
I always looking to help more horses and owners achieve their goals.

Kensington Grey jumping his first xc clear in the 90 open last Sunday.

EQUIREEL 1101 Jody Sole & Kensington Grey at BLINDLEY HEATH (2) & REGIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS 2023

25/07/2023

Running late! Had a super weekend at Little Downham.
Riding Kensington Grey in the 90 open . 33.5 dressage
I down sj and one baby stop xc. Super pleased with his attitude towards his new career after racing!
Abi rode African Jazz in the 80 coming top 2 in the dressage with a 23. Sadly the jumping phases didn't quite go to plan but still finished with a smile on her face!
Sunday saw BP Applejack take on his second novice. 41 in the dressage. 1 down sj and a delightful clear xc with a few time faults.
Onwards to hopefully Aston Le Walls .......

13/06/2023

Today I received my British Dressage qualification codes for Ollie .
Regional at Elementary
Areas at Elementary
Areas at Medium.
Good boy Ollie, now where to go!?

29/05/2023

A very successful weekend of firsts for us.
Saturday saw Abi taking Jazz to Herts County Show to compete in the RoR novice and in hand classes.
He behaved impeccably coming 2nd in the novice, qualifying for Aintree, also 3rd in the in hand class. If this wasn't enough he went reserve RoR champion.
Sunday I took two out eventing.
A 5 yo RoR called Kenny, Kensington Grey, only my third time sitting on this boy. A good dressage even if a little unsettled in his contact. 2 down in the sj , a little keen! Then clear xc with time faults.
Also had my own boy Larry out in the 90. Again a good dressage, clear sj, one small misunderstanding resulting in a stop xc and a few time penalties.
A great learning curve for both lads.
Where to next?

23/05/2023

Not helping while xc schooling! Flippin flossies everywhere!

22/05/2023

With Rockingham eventing abandoned I managed to get entries for BD at Otley with Ollie.
It worked out really well with us gaining 72.5% in the ele 53! A pb which over qualifies us for regional finals. And gaining 68.7% in the medium 61.
This horse is really developing and loves his job, even if at times he infuriates me. Tells me he doesn't understand yet does the movement at the same time!

28/04/2023

⭐️ pony!

22/04/2023

Had a fantastic day at Horseheath event today
33.3 dressage still a bit tight
Clear sj
Clear xc 4 seconds inside the time, we were up on the clock so had to steady down for the last few fences.
Completed in 6th
Really pleased with Jack he is really loving his job!
Next outing stepping up to novice....

08/04/2023

BD yesterday with Ollie seemed to be tough marking across the board!
A good jump with Larry today at home and with Abi on Jazz.

16/02/2023

A fab day at the office today! Pulled my dressage stirrups up about 30 holes!

Congrats to Jody Sole winning a special Castel Royal Artillery Gold Cup at Sandown Park Racecourse 👏

Broken Halo won for Paul Nicholls Racing in a race for ex-military amateur jockeys 🎖️

12/02/2023

24 hours on.
A long successful day for the boys from our stable.
Hero Worship and Abi competing in the novice 23 area final doing a grand job coming out with 63.68%, 15th overall. The same pair also headed to the elementary 53 completing on 62.84%. So pleased with both horse and rider, this combination love each other and work so well at competition together. I can't really believe that Hero is 20 this year!
I took the wonderful Ollie into the elementary 53 also, knowing how he can behave in a new place and how that marker can be terrifying, he was an absolute star no spooks no worries! We completed on 66.13% coming 11th overall. So pleased with this lads progress forever improving.
A massive thankyou to Philippa Birtwell for supporting Ollie and I. We hope we do you proud!

New clothes required!

A good day British Showjumping yesterday. 2 down in the British Novice Clear in the Discovery. Very pleased for this boys first affiliated show.

Would you believe it! Another #Premierequine rug ruined!

Why why why? This is not helping! #horses #ror #badboys #newclothes

Good morning yesterday schooling a 4yo and Eliza jumping Micky for the first time! Great job done by her! #pointtopoint #BaileysHorseFeeds #racing

Great results when jumping your dressage horse! Ollie had a great time!

Last week was a busy one. We headed to Arena uk for the hunter show on Wednesday. Ozzy, Pagestown Principal, performing really well in his first hoys class of the year, coming 4th. Kenny, Noble Quest, did three classes. Coming third in his novice hunter class. Winning his Novice RoR class and second in his Open RoR class. These qualify him for Aintree finals and for Hickstead finals. This from a horse who has previously struggled to keep his marble in place, spending time like a Japanese drift car previously. Saturday saw us back to Arena uk. This time with Elite Up With The Stars, Floyd, a 2yo who was having his first ever outing. He came second in his class , learning every step. Kenny stepped up again, coming 6th in his novice hunter class, he had a few moments of excitement which didn't help, he did ride fantastically for the judge so am super pleased. He then came 3rd in his Royal International Lightweight class. He was foot perfect, no moments, and again gave the judge a splendid ride. I can't say how pleased I am with this lad who I was told when he came to me was, dangerous and I had to be careful getting on! His turn around gives every ex racer hope for a career after the track! This week starts with dressage Wednesday with Ollie..... #dengiehorsefeeds #feedthedifference #cavalor #rorlatest

Great day yesterday for Jody riding Lucy Wadham's Le Reve. Storming home with ease to win the 2019 Grand Military Race. Made more special that most of his 'wives' were there to cheer him on. Also great that Jody got to support his new sponsors Equine Synergy supporting Head to Hoof wearing their logo on his breeches. An all in one supplement that seems to be doing our horses fantastically well.

A lovely Sunday hack out!

This week some essential work was carried out on the school fence! Rotted uprights and gravel boards! Great job done by Colin Tidy! Contact him if you need any work carried out!

I've bitten the bullet , bought some sprinklers for the school. It's gotten so dry and deep I really don't want to risk daft preventable injuries!

Here is a girth that arrived with a horse in for training. I am horrified it was being used. Great owner, thanked me for being honest! Ordered a new one straight away! #safetyfirst #tackchecktime

He progressed so well jumping brill learning all the way. Apollo has now headed home really looking forward to our first race together.

Our Story

I am an Advanced Event rider , eventing from BE90 up to and including advanced level and international events. I am fortunate enough to ride for some fantastic owners. Our aim is to qualify and compete at Burghley and HOYS - no point in not aiming high!

Based at my yard in West Sussex I am able to take Liveries, Competition Horses and Race Horses in for Training, backing, retraining and hoping to add more horses to my string that I can produce and compete from my base or yours!

I have been surrounded by horses for the majority of my life. It is fair to say that limited funds meant testing horses and ponies, but this taught me the value of patience and horsemanship. I love to understand why horses do what they do, the testing horses I have had in the past taught me to think like a horse not like a person when training.

I adore producing horses no matter their age or experience, learning about them and understanding how to bring out the best through harmony, trust and partnership.
