Super round for Annabel and Ozzy - Corclough Tornado in the HOY’s 153 plaiteds today! Very proud of how Annabel rode this big & testing track, unfortunately touched the first pole 😢 but a super round with Ozzy so up for the job. Only 2 clears and finished 6th place. #followyourdreams #KeepTryingYourBest #connemarapony
Fantastic to watch our lovely mare Shades of Blue jumping at RIHS this week with Kathleen Hamilton ❤️ Having a great time watching all the Scottish competitors in the sunshine, nice family time away 😍
Great fun at Auchlishie this weekend with Moray & Nairn Pony Club
Sproggles did a beautiful test, clear SJ but silly look XC lost them their lead to 4th place, to be fair he hadn’t been XC since Auchlishie last year and didn’t get a chance to train with so much going on.
First time XC for Annabel and Ozzy, a bit hyper, knees to his chin 😂 in his dressage then DC to finish 2nd.
Annabel absolutely loved her rounds, came home absolutely buzzing and shattered 😍
Well done to all the other pony club members who did amazing this weekend 🤩
Super weekend at the Scottish Horse Show and BSPS Summer Show.
Annabel and Ozzy jumped 2 super rounds in the HOYs M&M and Plaited classes with great marks.
An unfortunate pole at no 2 in the plaiteds 🙈 riding all the difficult fences well and finishing 2nd place with a lovely show, missing the golden ticket again.
Their day will come I’m sure, what a super pony who loves his job 🤩
Champion of Clooneen - RHS - HOY’s M&M
Absolutely delighted with Connor jumping his HOY’s class at the RHS, a massive achievement for a 6yo novice pony. He coped so well in the buzzing atmosphere and Annabel rode him brilliantly, he’s got an exciting future for sure 🤩
Corclough Tornado - HOYs M&M - Lincoln Show
Super round again for Ozzy, finishing 7th at the top of the poles - again another huge class with lots of producers in the top of the line up.
Felt like the longest day with classes starting at 7.30am and dismounting from this at 7.15pm then 7 hours up to the Highland 😴 arriving at 2.30am thankfully Les had all our stables and space to park ready 😍
Corclough Tornado - Royal Cheshire Show 2024
Corclough Tornado
Great start to our trip with our first HOY’s qualifier at Royal Cheshire Show 🤩
Super round from Oscar, an unfortunate pole but this pair are really starting to get to know each other now.
9th place in this large class. Ozzy is always up for his job with a big smile 😃
Well done Annabel, moving up to these classes is a big jump from Bertie last year, you’re doing great and you’re only 13 🤩

The lovely Blae and Robin joined us on our road trip south, recently starting training with Les, fulfilling her dream of qualifying for Blair ✔️✔️ she jumped at the chance to come on one of our crazy road trips South.
From jumping 50 & 60’s locally, she had a go at her first RI qualifier and what a job they made!!
A lovely forward clear, the instructions were go for it, keep kicking and have fun! Not bad finishing 5th in your first attempt and a testing Graham Barclay course 😍 lots to come from this pair 🤩
A huge thank you to Sherlene for all the help with navigating, stables and grooming, it was a busy trip but lots of fun and laughter all round.
Lovely to catch up with lots of friends at the shows and see the girls having so much fun 🤩
A massive well done to Jorgi Casey winning the 122 class and gaining her RI ticket, beautiful round and well deserved!!
RIHS M&M qualifier for Corclough Tornado, lots of questions, he flew round bold, unfortunate both poles at the birch double after being so bold over the bullfinch, no clear rounds. Finished 6th place, well ridden by Annabel, she absolutely loves this boy 😍
Another fab round for Balfour Regency Beau aka Sproggles in the 90-1m training stakes, finishing in the blues again 😍
Love this boy, Corclough Tornado jumping a super round in the RIHS plaiteds, unfortunate couple of poles, the ground wasn’t the best & no clear rounds, finishing 3rd 😍 What a great start this pair are having, quite a jump up from wee Bertie last year 😂
The talented Balfour Regency Beau jumping a beautiful round in the RIHS plaited workers at Hambleton Show on Sunday. The conditions weren’t the best due to the awful weather but this pony jumped beautifully, a very unlucky pole at the last gaining him 2nd place, so close for his ticket but so far!
Excited for the rest of the season 🤩
Good day at Caledonian RC Annual Show yesterday 🤩
Champion of Clooneen, Connor going Champion then Supreme Champion 🏆
Such lovely young pony with an exciting future.
So nice to see many of our pony friends from Rashcrook and others that Les coaches out doing really well, we love seeing everyone progress 😍
A special well done to Blae for taking the reserve supreme spot! 🏆
Also thanks to Sherlene for helping get the team looking spick and span as always 🤩

Ozzy’s RI round and a testing Graham Barclay course with only 1 clear!
Jumped well and lovely feedback from the judge, not bad for first time at this level, and it was 122 Q’s last year 😂
