Great day at Tall Trees Arena despite the wet and wind 🌧️
Both Rosie and Al were brilliant, Al took it all in his stride and put his brave pants on and Rosie was great as always so we left with smiles all round and 1st,2nd and 2nd 🥰.

With just 7 days till Christmas 🎅
We would like to say thank you for your growing support and wish you good health, happiness, peace and prosperity this Christmas 🎄

We are very much looking forward to 2025 getting out and about a bit more and offering our Ozzy Waldo (licensed stallion) to a select few mares throughout the year (ai only). Please pop me a message for further info🐴

Little Almanzor feeling brilliant today in prep for his first dressage outing next week, I am thrilled to be riding him on behalf of his owner and looking forward to bringing him up the levels 🤞🏼

After months of being messed around 🙄
We have decided to advertise our mare.
She is a lovely 13yr old 15.1 tb mare looking for a home as a companion/ possible project. She has bred some lovely foals one of which can be seen with us.
On the ground she is the easiest, loveliest and well mannered little mare who absolutely loves a fuss.
She was previously ridden a few years ago and told by a previous owner she could nap but as we haven’t ridden or seen her ridden we can’t comment on how she is under saddle. We bought her as an in foal mare and although she foaled easy and was a great mum being pregnant did impact her health which I will detail to any interested party, since the foal has been weaned she has been absolutely fine.
Viewings, vettings welcome.
Very low four figures 🥕

We are rather excited to watch Ozzy progress over the next year with Mat who has been fantastic with our other horses as well as Ozzy and us.

2025 will be exciting and exciting time 😬!!

Super excited to be welcoming this guy to the team!

Ozzy is a licensed Everdale x Gribaldi Stallion.

I am excited to kick off the year with a couple of stallion shows and then get between the white board and get qualified for the regionals.

Can’t wait to show you all more of this talented guy owned by Rebekah Caldwell.

It is absolutely WILD here in Cornwall with the wind and rain 🌧️ 🌬️

Our horses and ponies are all tucked up indoors with their nets and pjs on. We have been rather lucky here with minimal damage so far I think compared to some unfortunate yards.

Please stay safe and be mindful of just how strong nature can be ❤️

Well it looks like we’re in a few duvet days judging by the weather forecast for the weekend 🌦️ 🌬️
It sounds vile out there tonight 🫣

What a good lad Ozzy was today, back under saddle and learning quickly with the views of getting him out and about next year before he produces some more foals 🐴

We are exceptionally excited about his future and looking forward to working alongside Matt to produce him.

Duvet Day out the rain and wind 🌧 💨

This lovely girl is off to her first dressage comp next weekend and isn’t she looking good 😍!!

On another note: The days are a lot colder now 🥶
Winter socks, scarf, snood, gloves, warmers, hot water bottles, you name it it’s coming out the cupboard to keep me cosy🧣 !

Dulcie has settled and is enjoying learning how to live without mum. From unhandled to haltered, leading fine, playing in the sand school, catching in the field and eating out her haynet. Not to mention she travelled like an absolute dream to us.
Very quick learner and confident !

She does however make bow look tiny considering they are both 6 months old 😂

Buddy the wonder cob having a play in the school 🐴 There’s got to be a Warmblood trapped in his cob body by the way he moves 😂
