Despite the weather, LillIe Langtry & Jack Whitaker finished 🥈2nd yesterday in the Foxhunter, together with an unlucky last fence down in her first 1.30 open class at a ☔️☔️☔️wet ValeView Equestrian

23/08/2024

Yesterday’s trip over to Pickering Grange Equestrian brought more double clears for Lillie Langtry, making it 4 double clears in a row, this time with Jack Whitaker Showjumper on board.👌

👍 Big thanks go to Russell ParKin for being Lillie’s chaperone and taking care of business at the show whilst Jack worked the magic in true Whitaker style.

Patience is the key to breaking and schooling!

⏹️stop & ▶️start mode are kind of crucial in the grand scheme of things and no place better than to start whilst driving a horse!

The steering wheel is there for life so always good to apply as much patience as possible in developing each stage of the horse’s journey!

We currently have space for youngsters coming into work so if you are wondering where to start with any breaking & schooling enquiries…

When we’re around them, horses have a certain knack of knowing what’s what …
and we should never underestimate the complexity of an animal’s sensory system, which is in many cases, always infront of ours.

Amongst the hustle and bustle of a busy day, the one element humans and horses both need on an frequent basis is kindness … each and every day! 💖
