For the love of all riding school Ponies and Horses

A small stab in the heart is what you feel when you put up the day’s riding list and you see riders sinking heavily in their shoulders when reading which horse they are assigned for the lesson. A small stab in the heart for that horse that for an hour will carry around a rider who has already decided that he does not like his horse. A small stab in the heart for the horse that did not choose the rider himself but still does his best, lesson after lesson.

Riding is a privilege and something you have chosen to do. If you chose to ride at a riding school, your instructor assumes that you actually want to learn how to ride. The instructor’s highest wish is that you get good at it.

Often there is a plan and a thought as to why you are assigned to that exact horse. Before you mount up next time, ask yourself “what can this horse teach me today?” All horses have something to give, a feeling or a new tool in the box.

The art is actually in being able to get a lazy horse to move forward, to get an uncertain horse to gain confidence, a naughty horse to focus or a tense horse to be released. It takes work. If you think a horse is boring, it’s more likely that you don’t ride the horse as well as you think! It’s not easy to be confronted with your own shortcomings, but it is in that very situation that you get the chance to truly grow as a rider.

The excuse that “it’s not my kind of horse” is actually a really bad excuse. A good rider can ride any kind of horse. A good rider has trained many hours on different types of horses to become a good rider. A good rider can find and manage the gold nuggets in every horse.

If we absolutely want to ride, it is our duty to strive to do it as best as possible, even if it’s only for fun. We owe it to every horse that carries us upon it’s back.

Copied and shared with love for all of our horses, ponies and riders 🐎❤🐎

🏆🥇Wow, what a season we are having and can't believe we only had our first proper show 4 weeks ago!

We are aboslutely thrilled with our horse of a lifetime Mr Ramsey winning the Search for a star Horse of the Year Show hunter qualfier yesterday at Stoneleigh within a week of winning and qualifying for The Longines Royal International Horse Show Hunter championship at Chard the week before. Two of the biggest shows in the country.

Thank you to all our connections that help us to get him in top form, the team at home Nico, Julie & especially Claire who hold the fort down & keep things running like clockwork while we are off travelling up and down the M5 🤯 special thanks to top groom and friend Georgia who works tirelessly to get us in the ring.

We are looking forward to our local at Royal Cornwall Show next week and then a well deserved break.

One healthy happy c**t foal dropped in the field this morning, Spirit is extremely natural and very proud of her even if she gave me absolutely no warning signs last night and didn't even wax up. I was awake at 4am last night writing down all the things I need to do today, one of which was bring her up to the yard.

Heart attacks all round this morning but all in stable safe and sound after a short trailer trip back to the yard 🙈🥳🐴
