Dare to Dream Dressage

31/12/2023

Well I'm not quite sure what to say about this year a roller coaster with too many dips for sure. Not ending how I had hoped with a few injuries to myself over last couple of months and Nips has laminitis though is getting better. So we will start the year healing and onto a glorious 2024.p.s nothing major injury wise for myself 😁
In amongst the lows some wonderful people and of course horses keeping me sane, sticking with and helping me out 💗💗
I wish all my family, friends clients and followers their Dreams to be realised for 2024
So excited for this wee foal to arrive.

Merry Christmas to all my wonderful friends, clients and followers.

Today was definitely one of those days that's really tested the "why do I do this again"
That's quite common and can be from little things to big things(like today) that make us question all the blood, sweat, tears and don't forget dosh that we invest into this sport and our horses in general. All the highs come with equal lows and often hovering around in between. However the love that we have for these majestic, caring kind souls is all we have to remember. I certainly can't and would never really want to imagine life without them in it. We are privileged to be able to have dancing partners like these who we all know.
Anyway I'm rambling on.
Love to all on the hard days and the good bit never forget that love ❤️ for the horse that got you started in the first place ❤️ 💙 ♥️ 💕 💖 💗 ❤️

Dolce having a roll after our great session tonight. Really starting to come together. So proud of him. I'm not very quick at getting on and need them to be fairly still. This is something Dolce has not been good at even with people holding. Nothing naughty just swings about and fidgets. So we've been working on it. Got to the stage last week or so could get on straight away with someone there. He's learnt to line up with mounting block so Tonight got on with no help, no one around to help lol. So so happy with him. Small thing to many but not to me and means our trust in each other is getting there. Everything like this is part of the journey

A few snippets from our lesson the other day. Clever big lad

Had a great lesson on Dolce today with Harry Payne. He's such a big horse so it's just getting him stronger and supple to come more together. Today we had that and could really feel his natural cadence in there. Looking forward to the future with him but no rush and when I feel he's ready. Special boy 😍

Handsome Dolce loves to lose a shoe so here we are the other night getting it back on. His nose is so kissable 😗

24/10/2023

Dolce gets just as manky as Nips even with a rug on 🤣

06/10/2023

Great lesson on Dolce today with Harry. Just getting him to release through his body to get him more supple 💗

Oh wow not updated for ages. Been so busy and all over the place. A visit to nationals, running Morris dressage and judge training to name a few. Nips also enjoyed a trip to Morris with Rebecca. Dolce has not had much consistency as so busy but back to it this week and he's fab. Nell is enjoying her grass and her last rosette recieved from Eriders the SDU league reserve champion. Sweeties are also included with rosette

Hey my lovely lot. I'm looking for some lovely volunteers, a writer and a couple stewards for this Saturdays dressage at Morris. Lots of tea, coffee cake and box of chocolates for my lovely helpers

Super excited to let you all meet this special boy who I've very kindly been given the ride on by Lesley Bear Bear
This is Dolce, he's a 8 year 17.3hh Hanoverian gelding. We are getting to know each other right now but he's a gem 💎. Love riding him and all the cuddles he gives. He's a big powerhouse so working on balance just now but that power feels immense.
Very much looking forward to our journey together and what the future brings for us. Thanks so much to Lesley for giving me this opportunity so I can get back out doing what I love ❤️ Here are some pics of our journey so far

Very exciting news after me posting nonsense due to misunderstanding. Nell has a positive heartbeat scan. So baby Fidertanz/Fenomenal is cooking and look at these 2 that's going to be a beautiful baby.
Thanks to Elite Stallions for getting us the goods in time and advice on the phone.
Huge thanks goes to Selena and her team at Premier A.I Services for not only getting her in foal first time but for dealing with madam mucks catching issues and well other issues. She's certainly enjoying being feral with her new gal pals
