Wow, is brilliant at this latk, I may stay in Shropshire 🤣

Well done, girls, very impressed 👏

I've had a lovely few days thanks to , who has spoiled us rotten.

It's been lovely to recharge and feel less like I've been run over by a truck 🤣.

We're heading home in a bit, via shopping for school shoes, much to the small ones disgust.

She asked me the other day whether staying for a levels are compulsory...🙄 I keep telling her she's the brains of the outfit, and we're kind of hoping she may be able to earn more money than us one day.

However, she rightly pointed out that money isn't everything, and I always tell her that to be happy is the most important thing to strive for.

Bu**er, no, come back on that one...🤣

Mum bought the boys a treat ball, obviously Meehan being the brains of the outfit worked it out, with Ella's help.

Syd, as mum says, has got by on his looks all these years 😂

Don't they look great? Syd can spend the winter here, and then we'll think his future. He's still only young. His leg feels amazing, hard, and cold.

Do ypu guys remember the house we bought in December in Minety?

We got the keys on the 9th of Jan and in between doing other jobs, Greg has turned it into this amazing house.

I am beyond proud of what he's achieved, it's bloody amazing.

The house is now on the market with Ewe move and it's already had a viewing, the professional pics are being taken next week so the listing isn't live yet but we are happy for viewings to be done.

I can't even tag Greg's business on here as he doesn't have the need to advertise, so he doesn't have a website.

The business is called Allsop Property solutions. 🥰

So I ordered a load of new merchandise from for the guys and it arrived today.

They were like kids at Christmas 🤣🤣

Although I felt like someone who told their child that father Christmas didn't exist when I told the hat silks weren't ready yet...🤣🤣

Happy Gin Day, I did dona good morning world video, but I thought you may prefer to see a video of benny cantering.

He's doing so much better now, straighter, far more able to balance himself and hold himself.

You may be able to see I do keep just playing with the bit to keep him off my hands. It's too easy to let them slip back into sitting on the hand.

I just adore this lad. He's such a trier.🥰

I just absolutely adore this picture of Patricia meeting her gorgeous foal for the first time.

It was so lovely to see her and to spend some time together, I was very proud to show all of her gorgeous horses to her.

My staff surpassed themselves today and did a super job of standing the horses up for Patricia to give them polos. Well done and thank you guys, you made me very proud.

The horses all adore Patricia and definitely remember her each time.

It made my heart sing.❤️

Max
Loula
Tina
Bertie

No more running 🤣🥵

Max and loulas first poles, Tina is a hurdler who's already run and jumps very like a hurdler.

Bertie was silly big balls to start with then realised he may have to engage his brain a bit more.

Very pleasing today.

Loose schooling so far.

They are all being brilliant, only another 5 to go. Blu and I are getting our steps in today 🤣.

Beautiful day here 🌬 🌧

Happy Thursday 😂

Max ❤️

I tried to film cantering but somehow turned it off.

The babies were brilliant, the lead horse,Mr f not so much 🤣



21/08/2024

Happy hump day 😍



20/08/2024

Why bother loose schooling?

I think Benny can explain better than me in these clips...

If you want to sit on a horse to jump, it's nice to know they can operate their brain and feet when needed!

He's a very good lad and learnt really quickly from his mistakes.

I'll hop up on him again tomorrow and possibly do a small grid. He's learning every day and tries his heart out for us.

Jolenes breeders were lovely, we got by with Google as our friend.

I'm not going to lie, my pigeon frechspanish concoction was mortifying, but they seemed to enjoy it, or were laughing at me, not with me 🤣

Such lovely people, and they've bred some super horses.

I hope their daughter Bertille will come and stay for a couple of weeks to work and learn more English.

Jolene was a start too. She behaved beautifully 😍.

I hope they don't get lost, I've told them to visit Burford, I possibly shouldn't have tried to give them directions 🤔🤣.

Jolenes lovely breeders are popping in to visit tomorrow.

I've kept in touch with them since chris and I bought her, and they are just the nicest people.

There is one slight issue, they're French, and I use Google translate to help when we're messaging.

I'm sure they'll speak better English than my Franglaise, however I have asked my staff for some help...

has confidently informed me that a petit falou is a yoghurt...

Holly knows how to say hello. My name is...

And I know how to say a chocolate chaud avec rum sivous plait.

What can possibly go wrong?🙈

Mange tout Rodney

Apparently, Blu reckoms we're all having a crash course on dualingo at breakfast, so in sure we'll be fluent by the time they arrive.🙄

So this morning, young Freddie had an over ground scope.

An over ground is a way of scoping at work. There is a memory card in the scope that records the airway during the gallop and allows the vet to watch it back frame by frame.

Peter also had a handheld device, which we could see in real time.

Ironically, Freddie sounded better than he ever does working!

I do wonder if it's the weight of the scope on their head that keeps it in the correct position.

We are waiting for the vets to watch the footage back so we know what the noise is we hear from him. Freddie has had his palate lasered twice but he definitely still makes a noise at the end of his gallops.

Last night, the small one and I kept laughing a lot about our day. She was such a good sport about it all and took every setback with grace and maturity beyond her years.

So I decided to buy her a few photos from
to show her just how far coop has come and also to remember when she rode so well, Bobby really enjoyed himself (a bit too much 😂).

I am beyond proud of her, and despite all my p**s taking, there were many positive moments yesterday.

Coop tackled a course that was way meatier and more challenging than any he'd done so far. Yes, there were a few stops and steering issues, but he still got round.

To think a pole on the ground used to send him into meltdown, bronking in complete terror. He's taken massive steps in a very short space of time. Well done Ella.

I only had 2 gins, they went straight to my head and was in bed by 9...Rock and roll 😂

Oh dear God is all I can say about today.

So after coops appalling dressage, he chose to continue the theme...

We'll just say they got round sj and xcountry with what can only be described as a massive score. If you won prizes for the most faults, we're winners 🤔😂😂

Bobby woke up and chose speed. Fml.

An ok stresage, two points off leader, they were all closely grouped.

Clear sj. Yay!

Xcountry I asked Ella if she wanted the rein on the lowest part of her bit.

Oh no he'll be fine mummy.🙄

Bahahahaha, he came down the hill towards the water, 3 from home at warp 9. I can honestly say I prayed to jesus, God and any other diety I could think of.🙄🙈

Small one was feet on the dash, trying to swing him off, But no. Bobby wanted to go today. Until he got the fence and didn't 🤷‍♀️

Ella didn't use her legs and I think her arms were so weak at that point, she gave to him so he stopped.🤣

They popped it next time and finished the course, flat out. Even with the stop, they only had 2 time penaulties.

I shouldn't laugh but f**k me today has made me want to find her a lovely, safe, kind horse who forgives small mistakes.🤣

I'm so over ponies. I think we may take up crochet or something. It's lucky I love the pair of t***s 🤷‍♀️.

They are the spawn of Satan.

Obviously Bobby is still golden balls, I love him more that anything else in the world mummy, as much as you and daddy.

Yeah cheers for that small child. 🤣🤣

Cooper woke up and chose to be a twonk...

He warmed up great and then proceeded to spook at everything 🙄😂

If anyone gets a worse score I'll be surprised.

I'm glad we got up at 4.30am. Well done coop...

Small child did super considering his behaviour 🙄.

I did a thing. I look like a scarecrow but ya know, I said what I needed to...😂

16/08/2024

Alan 😍😂😂

There are some horses you just have to.work with and allow their weirdness, Alan is one of them.🙄😂

Ella had a pop.on Mr F who's a k**b when he sees a jump, especially with small child. She copes very well.

Update on Kenny is she's bored and has some appointments this week for various parts of her injuries. She's healing well and is desperate to come home.

We text most mornings and she's in great spirits.😍

I cracked and gave in and had a gin today 😱😱

I tell myself it's a slippery slope, but to be honest, I don't actually care today.

This week has been absolutely flat to the max, not in a bad way, just full-on.

So cheers on a Thursday. I blame it on the wind 🙄🤣



15/08/2024

🤣🤣🤣 I gave blu and leanna a jump on Pluto and Charlie, I forgot we did this.

To be fair, neither are a joy to jump. Both are slightly terrifying when they guess. Hence the very small poles...

There may have been a lot of wtf from me, possibly a bit of crying, rocking, and generally questioning my life choices.

I sent them both the videos and asked them to do their homework, come back to me with their critique, and possibly a PowerPoint presentation 😅 🤣.

They did end on a good note. We shall repeat the exercise next week when my nerves can take it.🙄
