It’s been great to be back out at shows.
Yesterday we headed to Arena UK
I took Conker & Boo for the clear round where they both jumped great & clear.
Kaya was a little star double clear to be 7th in the 1.05 & double clear to be 5th in the
Newcomers.
Crispie was a naughty monster, I thought I would just give him a nice pop round the 1.20 for his first outing back but he had other ideas 🙈 luckily he has redeemed himself today at Vale View jumping double clear to finish 2nd in the 1.30!
I also took Conker & Boo again today to Vale for the clear round where they both jumped lovely clears!
Thank you to our team, owners & sponsors both throughout lockdown and now we are back up and running again.
Looking forwards to the rest of the summer producing a team of lovely young horses.

With the big recent surge for trying hoods on horses and the affects they have on more difficult ones I spoke to Jayne Flook at Belvoir Equine Supplements and Laser Therapy LTD and asked her if she had any information on them. From there I have been using the Catago Fir Tech hood on a mare that tosses her head a lot whilst being ridden and the difference is huge. Here is a little clip of her in the hood. These hood are also really great value at £35 and can be bought through Jayne from Belvoir Equine.
This week our jumping exercise was jumping in a figure of eight...here is our lovely six year old popping one way through it today!

Well with everything on hold we have turned most of our horses out for a spring break in the fields but we have a few still in work getting them a bit stronger doing flatwork, pole work & cavalettis but are still getting down time in the field over night.
Katie recently got back on her homebred (Cookie’s-Jolie Fleur’s Embryo) now 4 year old who was broken at 3 and had been turned away ever since...he certainly has his mum’s attitude to life 😍 I’ve never ridden one so straight and keen to get jumping!
🎥 you won’t believe me this is him over his first fillers & double he really just wants to jump the jumps!🎥
We hope all our friends and supporters are staying safe.

Over the moon with how the horses are jumping down at Hickstead both Newton DB & Drumaclann Brexit jumped clear in their age class qualifiers yesterday to qualify for their finals today.
Our 6 year old Newton DB really rose to the occasion finishing 7th in the 6/7 year old Championship today in the International Arena!
Also so proud of our 4 year old Drumaclann Brexit jumping the 1.10 4 year old final also in the International Arena for just the last down in the second phase. She really has the most incredible attitude.
This was a big ask for both young horses going into the big grass arena but both of them showed such class and were totally unfazed, what a future these two horses have ahead of them.
Jolie Fleur Van De Noordheuvel jumped yesterday in the International Arena for a lower placing in the 1.40. She is feeling on top form.
Thank you to our super show groom Shannon Bibby for doing such a fantastic job down at Hickstead couldn’t do it without her!
