It will be a very sad day when this superstar goes 😢 but he will give his next jockey memories to last a lifetime!

A great couple of runs for Odin before Blair. 2 double clears at Hopetoun and Frickley finishing 5th and 3rd respectively. A few xc time costing them the win today. Stepping up to 4*S at Blair. Hero left a leg at both parts of the bounce at Hopetoun depositing Jen but posted a super clear xc and 4 sj to finish 12th in an incredibly strong OI section. He will run in the 4* L at Blair. Many thanks to Lucy Willis Fleming for prompt treatment of Hero to sort his tweaks after Hopetouns whoopsies.

Super weekend again for some of my pupils. Special mention to Indie Mckeand who came 5th at the Royal Highland Show in her class. Indie has been training regularly with me since she was 8 and is an extremely talented jockey. Huge achievement for her and Oscar.
Alexa Astley and her new pony Fly won her 70/80 class at Cumbria Beagles Showcross. A new partnership and I'm sure many more success to come. Great result for them.
Last but very much not least Amira Mackay, another who has been with me since owning her own pony, coming 4th in her first ever competition on KEC Lizzie Linn (Belle) joining Alexa in the line up. This one is particularly special as this was only the 3rd time Amira has ridden Belle whom she has borrowed off me while her pony is out of action and has had to quickly master a 16.1hh horse who has never actually jumped in competition!
I have a brilliant wee gang of clients and love seeing them progress to becoming confident, capable, competitive riders. Well done girls.

I have been asked to run an adult eventing camp for confidence building/young horses. Jumping 60cm to 80cm and prelim/novice dressage.
It would run over a weekend with 2 sessions per day. Please message me if this would be of interest so I can guage numbers.

Great weekend at Warwick Hall Horse Trials for some of SteadEventing's protégés.
Irving and ARD Lipstick finishing a brilliant 2nd in their BE100 U18 section with Dempster hot on her heels in the same section in 8th place on her new ride Opposition Buzby with very little separating them. Both girls work their socks off and so deserve these results.
Corrina Duncan also finishing just outside the rosettes in 9th place in her 2nd Novice having only started eventing last year on her super boy Drumiller Alibi who is new to dressage 😂.

Wee throwback to Hero storming round Blair 4*L. Made light work of all the technical questions and loved it a little too much pulling the whole way round. 🤣

Really important. They can clip themselves onto other things with disastrous consequences if done wrongly.

👋 This is a very important memo! 👋 Please make sure you always buckle your blankets and tack into your horse. When they face out they have the risk of getting caught on fences, buckets, and anything else your horse might find.

Our lovely Tinker is looking for a new 🏡
16.2 6yr old
We have owned Tinks since a 3 year old. She is absolutely brilliant to hack, perfect in the heaviest of traffic, in fields, on her own or in company. She has shown a cracking loose jump.
She's in her element hacking on the roads or cantering through the fields and I would prefer her to be where this is what she does, where she is happy. I think she would make a fantastic hunter and will be out with hounds in the next few weeks.
She is really easy in the stable, great to catch, clip, shoe, load and has a very loving, cuddly nature.
She has no vices and doesn't need ridden every day - doesn't hot up if left off for a few days.
No novices, I would prefer her to go to a knowledgeable 🏡
4.5 🥕
Based 30 mins north of Carlisle

The weather is turning , autumn is here
so i guess it must be clipping time of the year.
I am available for clipping.
Message me if you have a hairy monster that needs a makeover.
All i ask is that horses are bathed and clean prior to being clipped. My blades will thank you and you will be rewarded with a much better finish.
Message me if you'd like to book in.

Update

Bess has now found a lovely new home.

Not your average cob!
Bess is 16.2hh and 9 years old. She is a lovely forward ride, has a lovely jump and is brilliant to hack in any traffic or in open fields. Lovely temperament and no vices. She is not suited to novice or nervous riders as would benefit from more work in the school and is forward thinking.
Based near Gretna.
Please message me for more details and video.
She is above mid 4 figures.
