Saturday 13th - Dressage MasterClass with Debby Lush. Choose one of the new BD tests to ride through and Debby will give you guidance, from the judges' PoV, as to where you can gain better marks.
Monday 15th - dressage postponed and BIS show jumping qualifiers plus height classes
Friday 19th - Caledonian Riding Club league show jumping featuring BIS 80 & 90cm qualifiers
Monday 22nd - our own dressage league which will utilise only the new BD tests. Intro 1&2; prelim 1&2; novice 1&2; elementary 1&2. Some of these tests are almost the same as previous versions so please come and give them a try.

Due to low entries this evening, I was able to offer some very relaxed jumping over the nine jump course.
Jack Johnston Ireland had a lovely play over 3 heights of jumps and helped himself to three league 1st places.
Maisie MacDonald with Beauty claimed her Black Isle Show 80cm qualifier along with the Turriff show one. She was closely challenged by Laila & Jimmy and Sophie & Whistler. Ginny Fraser brought her ex racer Cally over for a canter over the 80cm and a play over the 90cm training course.

Well done to everyone and thank you so much for your continued support. Every time I think that perhaps it's not worth having a course up for so few riders, I am always reminded that you are the very ones who I enjoy having round to encourage you in your improvements and to enjoy your horses. See you next month for more fun.

Have we got any latecomers for show jumping tonight? Just comment below if you're keen to join us

27/06/2024

Due to illness, we have decided to postpone our de-sensitisation session on Saturday and will look to rebook it in the autumn, hopefully everything will have settled down by then. Apologies to those who had booked in already.

We had a fantastic day yesterday, both weather and jumping wise. The standard of jumping is definitely improving and the support by each rider to their opponents was heart warming, thank you all you lovely people.

We are hosting qualifiers for Ross-shire Pony Club, the Black Isle Show and for Turriff Show. Our next one is on January 20th and the Caledonian Riding Club are hosting one here too which will be a Xmas Cracker, details tomorrow (Tuesday).

Perfect Monday morning

Debby & Alfie showing how best to improve the view...

And again

Our first attempt at long reining, what a superstar.

Ianna and the adorable Mr Ed

Amanda wanted a wee practice for Sunday so we set her and Diva off over some temporary jumps….

Nearly there for size and for level. Can’t thank James Anderson from Broomhill Riding Centre & livery yard enough for his tireless work on site. A very tough day but he has never stopped working.
