Super proud of my best girl Roxy “Penhaligon Roxette” 6th out of 22 today in the elementary bronze petplan areas at kingswood! 🤩

The judge at C had us on the highest scoring test of the class on 71.62% unfortunately the judge at B wasn’t so generous so pulled the overall mark down to 69.12%.
But overall thrilled with her, considering it’s only the 7th elementary test she’s ever done!
Lots of 🥕 for her tonight 😁😁

Mr man Orion had his first outing of the year today and came home with 2 blues, one inhand and one ridden. 🥈🥈💫
I’m obviously biased….. but he’s just so darn beautiful 😍😍

Lest we forget their sacrifice 💔

The War Horse

I spoke to you in whispers
As shells made the ground beneath us quake
We both trembled in that crater
A toxic muddy bloody lake

I spoke to you and pulled your ears
To try and quell your fearful eye
As bullets whizzed through the raindrops
And we watched the men around us die

I spoke to you in stable tones
A quiet tranquil voice
At least I volunteered to fight
You didn't get to make the choice

I spoke to you of old times
Perhaps you went before the plough
And pulled the haycart from the meadow
Far from where we're dying now

I spoke to you of grooming
Of when the ploughman made you shine
Not the shrapnel wounds and bleeding flanks
Mane filled with mud and wire and grime

I spoke to you of courage
As gas filled the Flanders air
Watched you struggle in the mud
Harness acting like a snare

I spoke to you of peaceful fields
Grazing beneath a setting sun
Time to rest your torn and tired body
Your working day is done

I spoke to you of promises
If from this maelstrom I survive
By pen and prose and poetry
I'll keep your sacrifice alive

I spoke to you of legacy
For when this hellish time is through
All those who hauled or charged or carried
Will be regarded heroes too

I spoke to you in dulcet tones
Your eye told me you understood
As I squeezed my trigger to bring you peace
The the only way I could

And I spoke to you in whispers......

Finally after a break that was longer than anticipated we managed to get Roxy Sox ( Penhaligon Roxette ) back out competing 🖤😁 Two red frillies to add to her collection winning both classes by a very respectable percentage
Absolutely delighted with her. Well done Philippa Pickard and Roxy. 🖤🦄🖤

A new surface for our little indoor arena. Carpet fibre and totally dust free, no more watering needed. A really comfortable, stable surface for working on.
Hard work but will be great when it’s finished.
Happy Horses and Happy Owners 🦄😁

So today Cherry went off to do some grown up show jumping.

A big competitive class and she was DC all the way. Asked for some slightly more serious turns in the jump off and she didn’t disappoint. Rewarded with 3rd place and a little cash to purchase some well earned polos. 😁

She simply gets better and better. If only she were a little bigger she would stay forever.

☀️🦄💛☀️💛🦄☀️

Our beautiful new baby
Clanmill Hunters Moon known affectionately as Obi ( Oberon )
His dad is Orion who many of you will know. He is a perfect little miniature of his wonderful dad and we are so excited to be able to share his journey with everyone 💛🦄💛

Orions transformation, Day 1 to Day 90! From unbacked gangly c**t to smart ridden stallion in just 3 months. And he’s been a pleasure to do every step of the way. 😁

I DID NOT KNOW... by Alissa Kelly

I did not know a horse could bring people into your life that end up meaning the most to you.
I did not know a horse could make the hardest days of your life bearable.
I did not know a horse could teach you to put others first.
I did not know a horse could remind you time and time again that your gut is always right.
I did not know a horse could break your heart.
I did not know a horse could pick you up when you have fallen apart.
I did not know a horse could teach you to dream again, after you thought it was not possible.
I did not know a horse could make you believe in yourself.
I did not know a horse could teach responsibility, work ethic, and dedication.
I did not know a horse could make you believe in something when no one else does.
I did not know a horse could make you learn to forgive and forget.
I did not know a horse could humble you faster than you can say humble.
I did not know a horse could make you a winner.
I did not know a horse could also teach you how to lose gracefully.
I did not know a horse could instill patience in you.
I did not know a horse could make you listen better.
I did not know a horse could give you their heart.
I did not know a horse could change your life.
I did not know a horse could do all these things...
but now I know. ❤️❤️

Something we all need to understand and be aware of. ❤️

"So, why did you not go with that excellent transition that he just offered you?"
"Because I hadn't asked him yet."
"But you had thought about it, and as your conscious mind thinks about it, your subconscious immediately starts preparing your body to give the aid. So now you have told him to ignore your thoughts and wait for your muscular request, which over time will need to get stronger and stronger. The chances are that the strength of these aids will force him to tense against them, which will make such an excellent transition almost impossible. Praise him for his effort and then consider how you yourself react to the thoughts in your head - that is to say, don't miss out on the thought of preparation for the transition, and never frustrate him by suggesting that he has done wrong when it is actually your lack of focus that is the problem. Always try to understand how he is thinking, and praise him for trying to respond to the most minimal movements of your body. The aids are designed to connect your two brains so that life becomes easier for both of you, so try not to interrupt that process by being a control freak!"

Pretty chilled in benny and Harvey’s field too, until I disturbed Harvey’s snooze 🤣

Mr H enjoying his new Silvermoor swinger!

We took Bailey out to play today. This boy simply gets better and better. As he’s only been out x country once before we started small but ended up popping the novice fences. He’s been at times hard work to produce but today .......... Wow Wow Wow Super job Philippa Pickard 😀😀😀

Bailey says it’s been a long night eating but he can still manage breakfast in bed. 😂😂😂

Collies Ivy and Eva make good use of the arena when we are not using it for the horses 😁 Remember it’s available to hire...... with or without added collies 😂

Although it's winter and we don't post much, behind the scenes the work goes on 😁 Little Harvey practising his jumping today...... and making it look easy 😊🦄

The lovely Millie 😊 having had a difficult start in life she is now looking good and strong thanks to being cherished by her mum Lesley. We see a very promising future ahead for her.
