How gorgeous are the lovely folk at pickering_grange_equestrian. Not only do they put up with me making them late in a couple of classes today (no help and three horses!!) they then gave me an advent calendar and some carrots when I left!!! It’s the little thoughtful things that make someone’s day. 🥰
Super training competition today. Bella and Helen’s Hamish did the arena ODE and Oli’s Harry the combined training. The weather made it pretty character building, and by the end I was doing dressage in XC colours 🤣 but they all learnt loads and behaved impeccably.
Off for a lay down now!!!

In fact this is what Childeric UK Orange Horse Consultants did here the other day!! No other company offers this total ongoing support which is why we love them!!! 🧡🧡

Have you purchased a Childeric saddle from someone other than Childeric UK or OHC??

Fun Fact: we will indeed come and check the saddle and re-fit as necessary

This is all part of the service we offer, as one one of the range of services we provide.

Other than the saddle check included when purchasing a new (or used) saddle from us, saddle checks are charged for, to cover our travel costs and a little towards our time.

Quick trip to Vale view today. The girls were fab. These are such good training shows to give them confidence. Bit of a yard outing - Georgia took Charlie and Luke took Seb. They both did great, lots of confidence and most importantly, they had fun! So important we never forget that’s what it’s all about!

Anyone remember Trevor? 6 yrs ago today Jessica bought him from us, still giving her lots of fun. Got this message today
“Well, he’s faded a lot ….. but it’s six years ago today I came to see him. He has given me an enormous amount of pleasure ( & taught me a lot!) since then “
So lovely to see Tinderbox graduates out having fun!

Busy weekend getting those out who’ve been on the back burner! Yesterday was the really useful clear round training show at ValeView Equestrian. adytay1 gave me some great guidance. Bella, Widget and Charlie were all fab 😍
Today was a lovely relaxed dressage Aylesford Equine / X-Country run superbly by Rearsby riding club. Bella had her first time in the boards for a 🥇& 🥉. Incredibly proud of her behaviour all day! She’s now got her frillies proudly displayed on her stable! 😆
Nick’s Cammie came for his first outing in a very long time, and he got two 🥇🍾
Also very very proud of my lovely client Maxine on a horse she bought via us doing her first completion for a very long time! She even went home with a frilly too! 🎉🍾
Good educational weekend! 👏🏼👍🏼🥰

Sat in Cork airport waiting for my flight home from ballindenisk. Dan and Mr B did a great job in the 2*short. The ground was amazing and the horses relished the going. Fun to be with again. Back to reality tomorrow!!
