Harley went home yesterday. His super cheeky personality will be missed.
Below is just a quick video of what he was like when he arrived compared to when he left.
He was slightly nappy/backwards at first, hard against the hand in the contact and struggled to keep his canter.
He left us going forwards with a soft mouth, learning to carry himself in an outline and cantering laps of the arena 🥰
We love getting updates from horses we have worked with.
We broke and rode away the gorgeous Ferdy, here is some feedback from his owner.
❤️
🌹Rose🌹
17hh 5yr ID mare.
Rose is our fun, do everything on, chuck anyone on horse. We bought her 2 years ago as an unbroken youngster, broke her as a 3yr then turned her away for the winter. Brought her back into work spring 23 as a 4yr and done plenty with her since then.
⭐A tonne of hacking
⭐Showjumping up to 80cm at a show, up to 1m at home
⭐Dressage
⭐1 x 80cm ODE (came 5th)
⭐Pleasure rides
⭐Film work
Not for a complete novice due to her age, she is a responsive but safe ride.
She has 5 small, flat, round sarcoids not in a tack area and a splint on her left fore that she threw as a 2yr (pictured).
Based North Yorkshire
Low teens
Our gorgeous spider is home. Last week he went to Rainbow to have surgery 😬
Spider was born with an unilateral (left side) inguinal hernia. An inguinal hernia in a foal is a condition where abdominal contents slip through the inguinal ring and into the sc***um. For just under 3 weeks we tried manually pushing the intestines back up as advised by the vets. We had to do this as many times in the day as possible, Spider was very obliging to this process. However, we did not feel like we were making much progress and the colic risk is so high we didn't want to risk losing him so we decided to take him in for corrective surgery. As you can imagine we were beside ourselves putting a 1 month old foal through surgery but we knew it was the right thing to do. The surgery lasted half an hour, it's an easy procedure and while they were in there we had him castrated too. I asked every vet I saw if having him castrated so young would have any adverse effects and every answer was no. At least he won't have to go through that procedure as well bless him. He is now home and full of sass as he is on stable rest for 2 whole weeks 😬
Little Harley arrived with us over the weekend, he's here for two weeks schooling livery. He actually arrived with us two weeks ago but we spotted a medical issue that needed treating before we could work with him. His owners picked him up all of four hours after arrival and have been working hard to clear it up. He now healed and back with us to crack on ♥️ He has the cheekiest face 🥰
Our best little helper making sure we clean every little part of Rain. 🥰
Ferdy is going home today. After being here for 9 weeks he is now a fully fledged ridden horse getting his graduation bath 😂
A great day taking Ferdy out for an adventure.
We have shown him all of our hacking at home which is limited to roads so as we are concentrating on improving his hacking we boxed him up and found some open fields! He was an absolute angel. We think his owner is going to have the best time when he goes home.
Foal Profile
Darby born 13/5/24 10:55pm - ISH X Connie
Dam - Mae is our fantastic ISH broodmare with Colleto lines standing at 16.1. Previously an incredible all-rounder before a hunting injury ended her ridden career and started her broodmare journey.
Sire - Killour Star, Class 1 Connemara Stallion, Buckskin, 148cm, 9.5" Bone. Really stamps quality and limb onto everything with great temperaments and ability.
We have a name!
Everyone, meet Spider.
Nelly his dam is only 15.2hh and has somehow produced this giant c**t with the longest legs ever!! 🤣🥰
A gorgeous new arrival 🥰 At 11:30pm on the 16/7 Nelly foaled an incredibly large c**t. Full foal profile to follow
We are into our final week of breaking Ferdy. He is confidently walking, trotting and cantering under saddle 🥰 here's a little video of all his firsts. Watch this space for videos of how good he is now 😁🐎
Wow what a day. Rose took on her first ever ODE and smashed it. We would have been happy to get round without any drama. Rose decided to pull it out the bag by strutting her stuff in the dressage for a cracking 31. To finish the day coming 6th with 1 time fault on the XC we certainly can't complain. There isn't anything this mare cannot do 🥰
Rose bathed and plaited ready for her first ODE tomorrow 🥰🐎
We have been so bad posting Ferdy updates. But here's a snapshot of what he's been up to.
He's been with us 2 weeks now. In that time we have done lots of ground work, got him used to the contact, introduced lunging and long lining and laid over him. This week he'll do lots of long lining seeing the outside world making sure he'll be a very independent individual 🥰
Yesterday was a bit different. Rose and Nick made their film debut 🤣 I cannot fault Rose, it was a very long day with loads of takes. Children running everywhere, camera equipment, sound booms, tents, brollies, fire, lights. You name it she coped with it! We do try to make them as bombproof as we can 🤣We will let you know when the film is out! 😁
Better late than never.
Ferdy, a gorgeous ID arrived with us on Sunday for breaking livery. We gave him a couple of days to settle in and have now started work with him. He is a very clever lad that doesn't miss a trick. We are looking forward to working with this big lad. 🥰
Finally getting round to posting these Irish boys. We bought these two at the beginning of December last year. Dalton is the bay ISH and Ralph is the liver chestnut ID who we will keep entire to breed from in the future.
Bay ISH by Longwood Mountain Dew x Imperial Blue Diamond x Creggan Emperor
Chestnut ID by Longwood Dunbelievable x Mountain Pearl x Sir Rivie
Gorgeous Jim here with us for a month of schooling livery. Let the bootcamp begin now 😁
A final ride out for Elvis on Friday. His owner picked him up yesterday. We will miss having him on the yard 🥰 Drop us a message for any holiday/schooling/breaking livery needs.
A lovely ride out on holiday livery Elvis accompanied by Rose our rising 5yr. We think hacking is so beneficial for our young horses 🐎
Piper is in charge of the feeding today 🤣😍
🚨Buffy Update 🚨
We keep in touch with Buffy's new owner as we love to know how they are getting on and what adventures they have been up to.
Here's what her new owner had to say;
Lovely cheeky Buffy. Thank you Paige and Nick for producing this lovely mare so professionally and carefully. She is loved by everyone who meets her and is such a character.
Looking forward to the weather improving and longer days and more fun.
The best of mates. Holiday livery Elvis has taken a shine to our resident Shetland Fizzy. A huge difference in height, Elvis standing at 17hh and Fizzy at a mighty 8hh 🤣🤣
Elvis arrived with us last night on holiday livery till the new year. His owner wants him riding 3 times a week to keep him ticking over. Here he is practicing his long and low work.
Foal Profile
Hudson - Born 10th March 6:45am
Dam - Rain (Capriati) Paige's jumping horse, a 16.2hh ISH with incredible breeding. She took a year out of ridden work to have her foal when Paige had Piper. Rain was successfully jumping foxhunter at 7yr and was ready to step up to the 1.30m classes.
Sire - Emerald van't Ruytershof, an exceptionally talented international Grand Prix and 2016 Rio Olympian stallion who has racked up international placings and wins for years. In 2016 he also became the winner of the Nations Cup in Rotterdam and placed 2nd in the World Cup Final.
Foal Profile
Major - Born 1st March 2023 9:30pm
Dam - Mae is our fantastic ISH broodmare with Colleto lines standing at 16.1. Previously an incredible all-rounder before a hunting injury ended her ridden career and started her broodmare journey.
Sire - Classic Scot Class 1 ID stands at 16.2hh and has 9 inches of clean flat bone. He is the ideal choice to breed a competition horse, and has proven himself by having offspring who compete in the show ring, in Dressage and in showjumping. He is a bronze merit in Dressage and showjumping with IDHS (GB). He has a gentle easy temperament and passes this along with presence to his offspring.
How soppy is resident mare April 🥰🐴
Our new and improved foaling/young stock pens are in the process of being built. The gates are currently with the fabricator being made and have been designed specifically with safety of young stock in mind. We will have 3 pens, stocks that are suitable for a mare with foal at foot and a kitchen area. Exciting times. Progress pictures to follow.
It's lovely to get such positive feedback from clients. We broke this gorgeous mare a little while ago now and we love to receive updates on how they are getting on.

Today we delivered Buffy to her perfect new home with her new owner Laura. She leaves a huge hole in our hearts but we know Laura is the perfect person for Buffy and we wish them all the best for their adventures together! 🥰
Buffy is the best for just hopping on and going for a ride. She can have time off and you can just get on and go. We just went for a mooch on our own round a big 20 acre field. Not many horses are this good 🥰
Who else's 4yr is this chill at a show 🤣🥰 #buffyis
Buffy coming home with a ribbon (4th). Super proud of this little mare, new venue with really scary jumps and she didn't bat an eye lid! 🥰
Buffy jumping a nice clear round at a show today. She is such a chilla mare, doesn't bother about the kids bombing round on their ponies or the fact she's never been in the outdoor arena at Richmond. She really does look after her rider. 🥰
Yesterday we waved goodbye to Clover. She has been with us for 5 weeks and in that time we have perfected her groundwork and have her walk, trot and cantering under saddle. She is only just broken and it's now up to her owners to ride her away. She has been a real pleasure to have on the yard and we will miss having her 😊 We wish her owners the best and let the fun begin! 🥰
Over the last couple days we have been super busy. Holiday livery grace has gone through her stroppy phase and is now working nicely. Breaking livery clover has been long lining great, we have practiced mounting from the block and a leg up and have laid over her. We have also been on holiday livery parsnip as her owner is coming back from the UAE for a week and would like to ride her.
