Joe Long Reining Today..
Our 3YO Joe has been out long reining today with Nuala & our superstar Pony 🦄
We believe positive groundwork sessions are the most important part of the backing process for all of our young horses…
🌍 He is seeing the world around him, confidently, without the pressure of a rider - he’ll be turned away again now to process what he has learnt and come back in a few months time to learn some more!
Our lovely Orla showing her patience and maturity to this situation…
Luckily for this dog, Orla is an absolute saint with dogs (thanks to her hunting experience!) 🐶
The beach is a shared space.. if your dog has no recall then keep it on a lead. If roles reversed and a horse was to intrude a walkers space there would be outrage.
As animal people we find the attitude of “it’s fine they’ll learn if they get kicked” is totally unacceptable.. we don’t want to teach our hunters that dogs are something to fear or react defensively towards and we don’t want to injure a dog that’s been let down by its owners negligence!
When we attempted to move off the dog was biting at Orla’s fetlocks and took chase behind her so we found it was safer to remain still. Eventually we actually had to dismount and return the dog to the owner ourselves…
💥 WOW!! 💥

🏆 Serious Dressage Prospect 🏆
Fidermark x Florestan x Donnerhall x Rubenstein
Dakota
Rising 4YO (2020)
15.2h approx, German Warmblood mare (Westfälisches Reitpferd)
Sire: Danciano
Dakota was sent to us for breaking at the end of August 2023. We have produced her for her owners for the last four months but sadly her owner has decided not to pursue a career in dressage so she feels her talent is wasted..
Therefore Dakota will be coming onto the market soon!!
🥇 she’s a serious dressage junior / young rider’s prospect…
👀 Keep an eye out for her advert 👀

We’re having SO much fun with Boris!

Our special boy Donald…
Throwback to Donald sharing words with his friend Gangster 🐶
The only thing that reminds you of how old Donald is, is his passport!! He is such a mature & intelligent chap - we could go on all day singing his praises… 🎶
He gives 110% to everything he does and he is a really fun horse to ride!
He adores people & is a gentleman to handle, he would be the perfect young horse for a less experienced producer to put their own stamp on…
He’s ready to find a partner to go & enjoy his summer with! ☀️

Merry Christmas from everyone here at Probus Farm!

A brisk morning at Exmouth today for some canter work with King & Tommy.
Both boys were faultless, totally unphased by a busy beach and lots of inquisitive dogs joining them along the way! 🐶
We feel it is so important to regularly expose and educate our young horses to the big wide world and keep their ridden work varied 🌍
Johnny XC schooling today with Maisie at Pontispool Equine Sports Centre
He may only be 15.3h but you wouldn’t find a bigger heart! 🦁 ❤️
Johnny has done a brilliant job of giving his rider experience producing young horses.
