Just me and my mule ❤️ 😂

Still amazed and forever learning about what these awesome animals are capable of 🤠⭐️

When she’s good, she’s very very good 😎

Mileys first time out this year, and first time jumping on grass.

I thought we’d give a couple of classes a go, for potential comedy value more than anything, but there was no yee-honking; Miley had her game face on and actually complied, winning BOTH her classes 🤪

Delighted with my half donkey’s performance 🥳 she loved all the attention too. Huge thanks to TCB and their team for organising and running the show (and for allowing me to enter on a honking hybrid) and to Andrew Lamnea Photography for the awesome pics! 🥰

It’s getting silly now 😂🫣

This part-bred Arab mare came to me for backing. From never having been ridden, to being ridden bitless round obstacles with her owner and a pillion… delighted with this one’s progress and tolerance of a very annoying bird! 😂

Huge thanks to Jamie for the present!! Miley was the first to test it out, as you can see she was utterly terrified 🇺🇸

I remember almost getting rope burns from this mule tanking away when spooked… now look at her 😂🥰🤠

📣 RESCHEDULED 📣

Due to my unplanned travel chaos 🤯

The event below is rearranged for Wednesday 28th August.

My sincere apologies for any inconvenience to those who booked previously. I look forward to seeing you all there!

This Wednesday I’m doing a demo for Swansea Pony Club 🤠

I’ll be working with some horses and ponies I haven’t met before, and we’re looking for a couple of extra demo horses.

If your horse has a particular issue and you’d like them to be worked with free of charge please drop me a message.

‘Ideal problems’ are extreme spookiness, not standing by the block, specific fears, refusal to load… although you will need to get yourself there, I promise to see you loaded to go home 😬😂 or perhaps a nice youngster so the kids can see some of the preparation that goes into making a happy ridden horse… I’m open to ideas and up for a challenge 💪🤠

You’ll need to provide your own transport to and from the venue, please see details below

2yo Splash has come for a couple of weeks general handling and civilisation, and to top this off we’ve included her first ever trip to the beach 🏖️

Lucky came along for the ride, her first time ridden on the beach, and I’m delighted to report both ponies were angels 😇

Then we went for lunch with Tiffany Foster. You know, the no1 female showjumper in the WORLD!!! 🤩

We made it!!!

What a week! 3 babies backed, mostly with the magpie getting involved too, the others all progressing beautifully. We’ve been hacking and longlining and galloping on the beach and out to sort some tricky loaders… I’ve worked everyone pretty hard this week so we all deserve a quiet couple of days now! 🤩 Handy, as I’ve just landed in Paris 😁

Well done to the British showjumping team 🤩

It’s GOLD for Great Britain!🥇🇬🇧

A truly unbelievable display of jumping. 3 jumping clears, 2 times faults and the team of Ben Maher & Dallas Vegas Batilly, Harry Charles & Romeo 88 and Scott Brash & Jefferson could not be caught!👏🏻

Or maybe this one ☝️

for the sunshiney horse photos. This was 8.30/9pm. In a few month it’ll be dark and cold at that time, so excuse me while I make the most of it…

Getting on my first horse at 6.30am and still riding my last at 9.30 is a privilege 🫣 I can’t enjoy year round (until someone builds me that indoor arena!)

Absolutely in love with these images from a last-minute trip down to Pembrey 🥰

📸 you’re a genius 🤩

I can’t decide on a favourite to put on a canvas… could you guys help? (insta - comment pic no, and FB chuck a like) Much appreciated 🥰

I’m so lucky I do horsing for a job. I enjoy it so much I do it in my spare time too.

Lizzie the mare at la mer. No, it’s not the south of France… it’s actually Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿☀️

Prepare for a barrage of photos as we mark this special occasion. Sunshine.

I got my Hustlebum back! This sec D cobby came to me last year as one of a pair of 3yos for backing. A fairly arsey lad; he didn’t like his buddy and didn’t particularly like people. He’d had the ‘blue pipe treatment’ at the dealers he came from, and his well-meaning but novice owners had decided to have his sheath cleaned, so as far as he was concerned, humans could f-off! As could the buddy he came with! I couldn’t see him go back so made a trade, worked with him a bit before turning him out on a Pembrokeshire dairy farm with a herd of other horses. I collected him last week and we’ve started playing about again… I think I’m safe to say he’s going to be pretty easy to reback and get going again!

Wonderful kids pony looking for a new home!

Bella came here 2 years ago and happily became a resident 😂

I’ve kept her far longer than intended, as she became the perfect lead rein pony for friends kids when they visited and also because she made bestest friends with Mileymule.

She’s an active little 12.2 welsh part bred. Handled and ridden regularly by a variety of kids. She’s been schooled by adults and ridden by nice kids, she is sensible and responsive. No pony club kicks needed, she’s suited to a kid who’s confident off lead, although is a doll on the lead rein. She’s fab around traffic and has been to the beach, splashing through waves with her muleymate 😂

She loves being groomed, fab to do feet, loads impeccably (she’s been ridden through a trailer 😂) and lives out in a mixed herd, requires no extra feeding.

She’s ready to make new friends (sorry Miley) and be loved by a little person. Please share to any local/pony club groups! Based nr Crosshands, Carmarthenshire 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

It’s a sad day for dressage.

I am really looking forward to demonstrating some of my work with horses for Swansea Pony Club in Pennard on 7th August 🐴

It would be great to see some of you there!

Full details below, feel free to share 👇🏻

Bl@ thoroughbreds! 😂🏇🙄
We’ve withdrawn 😩

Lizzie and I were very much looking forward to competing tomorrow at the Royal Welsh in the ROR jumping challenge.

Well I was… Lizzie decided to over-reach in the field just before went to California, and although it’s healing and she’s sound, AND we did a course hire a few days ago and she felt phenomenal… she’s knocked the wound again. I just had a little sit on her and she’s eager, but uneven. 🙄

Absolutely gutted as I’ve been looking forward to my first time competing there for ages, but I’m going to try and get Lizzles back in time for some team chasing and keep my fingers crossed for next year.

Well done NZ, maybe it’s not impossible to move with the times 🙃

Pre-demo briefing from the boss 🤠

I’m still coming down from an amazing week catching up with the worlds coolest cowboy and participating in The Movement 2024 🤠🤩

Before I start sorting and editing videos I’ve got a few to ride and catch up on but watch this space 😁
