Great day Holefield Equestrian Facility yesterday with these gorgeous boys for their first time xc schooling. Think they all enjoyed it as much as me 😁. Pictured first is Rory the racehorse. Then Susan’s lovely fell pony Otis. And last but not least my gorgeous baby Bruce. First time in a 7.5t lorry for him, first time ridden away from home and first time xc schooling and he was a superstar as always. So pleased with all 3 of them. Rory giving everything some air. Exciting future ahead 💕 Thank you so much to mum, Susan, Gareth, Chloe and Joel for all your help.

Riding lessons/ hacking lessons

I am now in a position to offer lessons at my yard at Pinnacle.
I absolutely love helping people progress and feel more confident when riding.
If you’d like more confidence when riding your own horse or you would like to try riding for the first time but don’t have your own horse I can still help.

I have enjoyed helping people who have never ridden before to people who are actively out competing and want to work towards their next competition.

I can also offer hacking lessons for anyone who wants to feel more confident out in open spaces.

What ever level you are if you would like to feel more confident and progress I can help you.

For more information or to book please pm or call on 07874878492.
