‘We do it for fun!’ And Talulah loves the gallops

22/09/2024

Zhavana won the advanced medium today 🏆 i say this, as she likes to be firmly in the drivers seat! have never had a mare so sure of herself in the ring. (Bossy moo)
It's been a little while since we've been to a party! The flying changes have been a journey to secure, and at times she's taken flying quite literally! 😅

Te Amo growing and building in strength all the time! All my horses visit the gallops every month. They all enjoy variety in their work, and I have felt a big improvement in their straightness and power!

Tallulah won her class overall, at Golden Cross EQ today. Finishing her regional qualifications. Gaining confidence with every outing. The years of patience is paying off! This is her first season of competing but it’s taken the last 4 years to get her looking and feeling this good 🤩🥇

First show of 2024!
Hasn’t This winter has been relentless. But it’s so nice to see the hard work has been worth it in the end! Both of my girls are lookin And feeling really well!
So good to be back competing at Hickstead today. I just wanted to ride nice, safe tests today as I was feeling a little ring rusty! Zhavana still won her section 🥇 2nd overall (I think she was excited to be out.)
Talulah had absolutely no idea what was going on but kept composure, and Comes in 2nd place🥈in her section! 4th overall in great company. She coped amazingly. She only has one show under her belt, from a year ago. So this is just the start of our competition journey, but it’s very exciting!

Couldn’t be prouder of my two girls 🤩
Thanks Matt Wallis and Hannah Emily Olliff-Lee for all you do for my team

Te Amo 16 months on from being backed

When his head is as big as my body, self carriage is essential 😂 Te amo 16 months on from being backed

Faran springing into winter part 2!

I need Recommendations for a farrier that can take on my 6 horses! Price doesn’t matter they’re all expensive 😂 Holtye right road, east Grinstead. TIA

So proud 3 horses qualified for the summer petplan championships 2022 and got 3 top placings I’m huge classes for 40 competitors! 👸 Zhavana finished 5th in the Medium. She was so confident, If a little too forward! But gave me a super feeling, she was enjoying herself! So rewarding as I have produced her right from the start, and I’m excited for her future. Hammerwood Stud’s Ruscha coped amazingly with her first, stay away championship show. She finish 7th & 8th on 69% in both novice and freestyle classes. Sadly Faran didn’t feel his usual jolly self in the Int1. Perhaps the 5 hour journey and staying away, paid its toll on him. He is 17 but our 7th championship is an achievement. Thank you to everyone for making last week happen. And to everyone who works with me and the horses! 🌟

Training with the pushy mother today 🤣 it’s paying off Faran is feeling on top form

Fantastic time with Zhavana at her first stay away championships. I went in mind to just make it a positive experience for her and She travelled and coped with it all amazingly well! And came home with top 10 placing! Really pleased with how she performed and Excited for the future with her. So good to catch up with everyone too! Made my weekend, play with the sound on, the commentary is brilliant from Craig Messengera Sarah Hayter-Sharpe 🤣

👸 Zhavana wins the Novice silver championships qualifying for Arena UK final 71.67% so proud of her. Back tomorrow for the Elementary 🤞well done to everyone and thank you @Speedgate Equestrian for a brilliant day

👀Who wants a little event pony who jumps hedges bigger than her is?..... tough he’s mine 🤣🤣 Tilly Meaton Joanna Curties
