Beautiful four year old, Mabel had her second dressage outing on Saturday at .
Much busier atmosphere than her first outing, and another new venue ticked off the list.
She was a little “looky” at the judges box but I was super pleased with how well she handled herself.
Another 65%, no ribbons but lots of positive comments on her future ability. 😍
Thanks for the photo,
💖 Beautiful Mabel 💖
This darling girl, also belonging to hit a massive milestone for us today.
Her first time competing. 🥺
When doing the babies, I always hit milestones that make me a little emotional, and today was exactly that. This girl came to us less than a year ago, totally unbanked, and today she made her dressage debut! 😍
Not only that, she was set up (and ready) for her debut two months ago, but a freak stable accident, where I genuinely feared the worse, put a hold on that, but today we made that milestone, and she totally outdid my expectations.
A new venue, first time being plaited, first time learning a test, straight in at prelim as they weren’t running an intro, and my god did she try her best for me, so coming home with a third place rosette meant the world to me. 🫶🏻
Days like today where it all falls into place makes all the blood, sweat and tears worth it.
I love my job. 💖

Today I dusted off my dancing shoes to take ’s Sunny out to for a spot of dressage!
I’ve only known this boy a year and a half and he has had so many hurdles thrown his way at the young age of 6, so to have him out today for his first prelim test and coming second place is a super achievement. I could not be prouder of him today 🥰🥰

Long awaited, but finally my arena is complete!
I shall be putting together clinic dates shortly, but can book private sessions from Monday! (Fully booked for the rest of the week)
Ludey “hold tight; I’ve got this”
Me: “okay!” 😳😱
I just wanted to write a message firstly as a thank you to all of my lovely clients that have been understanding whilst I am transitioning and working out my diary whilst setting up RS Equestrian Livery
I would also like to apologise if any of you are concerned/feeling like I have let you down.
It’s been a super busy few weeks and I really am trying to get everyone moved into the yard and settling into the routine whilst trying to keep all of my regular/freelance clients happy!
I have every intention of getting back to my regular clinic weekends and as soon as my arena is finished I shall be putting dates out for lessons and clinics at my new base.
Please bear with me, I have no intention of letting anyone down, I am just trying to work out my new routine! 🙏🏻
Open weekend day two, done. ✔️
Absolutely blown away with the support from each and every one of you over the last two days.
Getting the yard up and running has been one of the most stressful times of my life so far (with one or two exceptions of course).
But for people to visit and be wowed by the set up I have here, makes me feel very humble, I am very fortunate but I also work very hard to achieve what I have to this day.
Hopeful I can sit back and enjoy my new home now!
Today at RS Equestrian Livery we had the saddle and bridle racks put up, cannot wait to fill them!
🧼 spring tidying 🧼
Now the warmer weather seems to FINALLY be with us, rugs are being changed to fly sheets/no rugs, now is a great time to get those manes pulled!
If your horse has mane rubs, I can pull them short enough so it’ll all grow back down neatly and together 😍
Get in touch! 📲
Super exciting delivery for the yard yesterday!
Suddenly it feels like it’s all coming together 🥰😍
For all of my clients eagerly awaiting news of my yard opening, please give my new page a follow to stay upto date!
Another day, another arena for rising four year old Mabel. 🥰
Today at Hallingbury hall, again nothing is a question for this girl and she behaved impeccably in the smallest arena she’s been in so far 🥰
She had her first proper decent trot on a grass hack yesterday too, so she’s had a busy week! Weekend of rest to do it all again next week! 😍
for regular client Paddy today,
Mane thin, pull and bunched over, alongside a tail pull too. 😍
I have now returned home from holiday and will be back to work on Monday 26th.
I have some of you booked in already but please feel free to pop me a message to get a slot organised!
Thankyou!
*polite notice*
I am officially on holiday! 🏖️
I will be back home on Friday next week, and back to work as normal from Monday 26th.
Please, please, please think in this time wether it’s imperative that you message me, or if your question/query can wait a week until I’m home! 🙏🏻
Thankyou! ☀️
Next confirmed clinic date!
Can message me or Chloe Spalding to book on! 🏇

Super pleased with the big girl at the weekend.
Little outing to for their
Very respectable 66% and 68%. To come third and fourth. 🥉😍
Green isn’t her colour so I best pull my socks up before the next outing to aim for a colour that suits her! 😉❤️
Massive thank you to her wonderful owner in supporting our journey together 🫶

I’ve had a few enquiries wether I clip this time of year… Simple answer? YES!
I don’t believe there’s any right or wrong time to clip your horse… if your horse needs it. Why wouldn’t you do it?
So yes, if your horse needs a clip now the weather has picked up. ☀️ please get in touch!
Full weekend of horses complete. ✔️
Day out at yesterday grooming for clients, both doing a super job bringing home red rosettes which some lovely comments in all tests from Intro to Novice. 🥇🥇
Then my turn today heading to for their ODE, with the lovely Fleur, her first ever event with no expectations, she warmed up beautifully in the dressage, so relaxed and rideable, with the judge saying what a lovely horse she was at the end of our test! 😍🥰
And giving us a 9 for our free walk! 🤩
She jumped the best she has felt in the warm up, didn’t quite marry up on the ring, with a stop but otherwise a clear round… made more sense when we realised she’d pulled a shoe. 🤦🏻♀️
Between her owner, and myself we opted so save her for another day, so withdrew her from cross country.
Onto in a few weeks time!
Day out supporting clients today.
Jess puts 110% into everything she does and it’s so nice to see her getting the results she so deserves! 🤩
Plus a little pat on the back to myself for the judges comment of “beautifully turned out” 😍
Happy horses, happy Owners, happy Jockeys, happy Becci 🥳
My turn tomorrow, with my first event of the season! 🥳🥳
Pulled tails.. yes or no?
What’s your preference?
Swipe for the before ➡️➡️
Personally I prefer a full tail to plait as it’s something I’m quite good at.
But pulling is a smart alternative or if you’re short on time!

𝓣𝓻𝓪𝓷𝓼𝓯𝓸𝓻𝓶𝓪𝓽𝓲𝓸𝓷 𝓣𝓾𝓮𝓼𝓭𝓪𝔂 ✨ 11 year old Ex Racer Blakers is in with me on long term livery, he’s been out of work since September so I am restarting him for his owner @sam_katimba The first video is the start of him “restarting” the second video was just yesterday, two weeks apart, and the difference…. Speaks for itself! 😳 wow! From a tense ball of an ex race horse to a relaxed retraining horse. Can’t wait to keep up the progression with this lovely boy and pass the reins over to his new jockey. #lovemyjob #horses #horsesofinstagram #horseriding #horserider #retraining #retrainingofracehorses #exracehorse #exracehorsesofinstagram #equestrian #equestrianlife #explore #explorepage #foryou #foryoupage #rsequestrian #rsequestrianlivery #transformation #transformationtuesday #blakers #blakeneypoint

Every day is training day for baby Mabel 🥰 Today we went to a new venue she’s never visited before at @beechwood_ec with company she’s never had before in @zannasaville Cips. This is her first time in an indoor arena so that’s another box ticked for this lovely girl. 🫶🏻 Genuinely couldn’t fault her, she’s going to make someone a lovely addition 🥰 🥰 #horse #horses #horsesofinstagram #horseriding #horserider #equestrian #equestrianlife #youngster #younghorses #younghorsesforsale #rsequestrian #bestgirl #equestrian #maresofinstagram #horsereels #instagram #reels #explore #explorepage #fyp #foryou #suffolk #horselove #reelsinstagram #reelsvideo #love #instagood #instadaily #mabel #aberllanerchmirabell

Another successful jump clinic done today at @fordham_house_livery The next one of these will be on the 24th February, with already very limited spaces left, so please book to avoid disappointment! Rising four, Mabel, had her first experience of a double today, totally unfazed! She has a few weeks of hacking ahead of her as her backend seems to have shot up, so she just needs a bit of time for her front end to catch up! #babies #horses #horsesofinstagram #horse #horseriding #showjumping #showjumper #jumpforjoy #mabel #backinghorses #jumping #equestrian #maresofinstagram #reels #trending #horsereels #instagram #reels #explore #explorepage #fyp #coaching #showjumpingclinic #suffolk #horselove #reelsinstagram #reelsvideo #love #instagood #instadaily

Baby Mabel spam simply because I am just so proud of her today 🥰🥰 Her first full week of work since we’ve had her could only mean one thing right? Yep, was time for me to mount her without lunging first! Up until today I’d managed to get her down to 2 minutes lunging each side then getting on board, some days she was fine, other days she liked to show me her gymnastic skills 😳. Thankfully she’s NEVER showed them whilst I’ve been on board, only when lunging…. ANYWAY I knew after today I wanted to give her a day off so a final challenge for the week to get straight on board; with a short lap of the arena we were straight on, no questions asked, walked off like she’d been doing it forever 🥺🫶🏻. This week she really has showed me she’s ready for “more”. So the plan is a “proper” back with a human on foot then she’ll be nannied by @zannasaville and Lenny, then I genuinely think there’ll be no stopping her! I love backing the youngsters, genuinely makes my heart so full watching their progress!! 😍 #horseriding #lovemyjob #horses #horsesofinstagram #equestrian #equestrianaccount #youngster #youngsters #mabel #backingyounghorses #education #learning #eventerinthemaking #eventersofinstagram #trending #reels #horsereels #explorepage #dream #livingthedream #sunshine #lucky #love #beautiful #instagood #nature #schooling #flatwork #cute #instadaily
🤩 Three year old Mabel’s first hack 🤩 After a trying week with Mabel, she lost a tooth on Friday last week so bitting has been tricky, with a change of routine, staying in for a day with the storm last week, followed with a weekend of fireworks, it’s very fair to say she isn’t as settled in herself as she has been. (She’s genuinely been one of the easiest three year olds I’ve ever dealt with) So onwards to yesterday and she was rather stressed during her work time and not very willing to listen to Meg I opted to change it up for her today, we ventured out of the yard gates and down the road! 😬 I borrowed @zannasavilles husband Ian to babysit me on foot; although I didn’t need it, clearly. (Filmed on board three years old usually not recommended). She was super, passing traffic; taking it all in her stride, genuinely the most relaxed I have had her in the past week; so maybe the baby wants to hack for a while? Youngsters aren’t ever asy and they take a lot of listening to; but when they give you their all it really is the best thing in the world and I feel super lucky to be working with this mare, she’s going to make someone a super horse! 🫶🏻 #horseriding #lovemyjob #horses #horsesofinstagram #equestrian #equestrianaccount #youngster #youngsters #mabel #backingyounghorses #education #learning #eventerinthemaking #eventersofinstagram #trending #reels #horsereels #explorepage #dream #livingthedream #sunshine #lucky #love #beautiful #instagood #tuesday #nature #happyhacking #cute #instadaily

Another day of adventuring for three year old Mabel today 🥰 A little bit of off roading including grass verges and banks. And thanks to the rain we also got to test her water legs!

A little raw video from todays training with 3 year old Mabel 🥰 This little mare really is taking everything in her stride so it felt natural to hop on board today! Totally unfazed and managed a little walk with my helper on the ground, and Mabel’s owner @zannasaville 🥰 Looking forward to progressing her further and seeing her develop. She’s sure to make someone a lovely horse and will be up for sale once she’s had a bit of education! 😍😍 #work #workday #lovemyjob #horses #horsesofinstagram #equestrian #equestrianaccount #youngster #youngsters #mabel #backingyounghorses #education #learning #lunging #polework #eventerinthemaking #eventersofinstagram #trending #reels #horsereels #explorepage #dream #livingthedream #sunshine #lucky #love #beautiful #instagood #insta
A very sedate FIRST EVER lunge for three year old Mabel 💕 If you’ve followed me for a while you’d have seen a few weeks back I was “bitting” this young horse, well now she is now comfortable with both a bridle and a bit as well as a saddle, she’s also done some in hand work in the arena, training to “walk on” and “stand” So now the excitement of backing her can begin! 😍 And if you don’t already, follow me to stay updated on her progress and for helpful advice in backing youngsters! #work #workday #lovemyjob #horses #horsesofinstagram #youngster #youngsters #mabel #backingyounghorses #education #learning #lunging #polework #eventerinthemaking #eventersofinstagram #trending #reels #horsereels #explorepage #dream #livingthedream #sunshine #lucky #love #beautiful #instagood #humpday
