With only a couple of small jobs left to do this year it’s time to recap 2023! It’s definitely been a busy and varied year on both the event and contracting fronts. But am so proud what my little company does in and around Rutland and in the eventing world. Thank you to everyone who has helped me, given me work and generally kicked me up the arse when am down! Thank you and happy Christmas to all! Bring on 2024 onwards and upwards.

A real privilege to work on this course! The season is well and truly underway way!!

And that’s a wrap! 2022 season is done!!! What a season it’s been!! With the return of all the major events I am involved such as Rockingham and Burghley and with new international classes at little d and Frickley it has been one of the busiest seasons yet! Together with balancing my ever increasing contracting work round Rutland it’s been a long tiring one but despite the long days and sometimes crap days I wouldn’t swap it for the world!!! It’s an amazing way of life!! Huge thanks to the amazing people I have the pleasure to work with, the sponsors, organisers, competitors and of course huge thanks to my Rutland based clients who are so patient and understanding while I fit them round the events!! Let’s do it all again in 2023!!!

The sun goes down on little Downham 2..to say it was an eventful weekend would be an understatement! It’s been the driest I’ve ever know it with a very hot set up period! But the team pulled it out of the bag with hours on the irrigator and the ground machines producing a great course!! Huge thanks to our amazing team who keeps smiling whatever is thrown at us and pulls together when we need it! Reminding me why I love working at this site!!! Onto the next!!

The last 6 weeks in a nutshell, 3 events back to back and My Rutland based contracting squeezed in somewhere!!
So lucky to do a job I love with a fantastic group of people! Now to remind myself what home looks like, catch up with my Rutland clients and head to Burghley!!…do a job you love and you’ll never work a day!!
As always thank you to everyone!!

Horseheath 1 completed!! Our first main event of the season together with dsc equestrian…fantastic to see the event so well supported with its first novice!! Despite no rain since the 4th March the team have worked wonders long days and late nights on the Equi-vator and irrigation equipment making the course amazing! Huge thanks to the team, the volunteers and as always the sponsors and riders! Time to tidy up for the next one in 2 weeks time and to crack on with the next upcoming events Rockingham and little Downham!!!!

Spring is in the air, the days are getting longer! Time to start cracking on with the spring work!! Busy times ahead! 👌remember to take a look at what we can do in and around Rutland!

All serviced and read to go! Big thanks to for keeping the avant on top form…it’s been with us for a little over a year now and despite on a business sense last years usage being slightly disappointing, I am a firm believer that good things come to those who wait and persevere. It’s an extremely handy and versatile bit of kit for both the equestrian and agricultural industries we work in..fingers crossed for a busy year ahead!

20/02/2022

Being versatile and being able to do the jobs other people don’t want to is a good ethos of a small company…so along side the usual big kit the little avant is a perfect tool for those tight to get places, mucking out low sheds that you can’t get a tractor, so with lambing cracking on and hopefully turn out soon upon us give us a shout if we can be of assistance!

31/01/2022

And just like that January is done! It’s been a mixed month, with a return to the xc building assisting DSC equestrian on preparing sites for the season. Bits of tractor work, hedge cutting and tree jobs, and finally a new one for us hedge planting for one of our loyal clients Team Jones Equestrian. Full steam ahead into February cracking on with work at Burghley! Once again thank you to all our clients for their continued support.

Christmas Eve is here! I would like to the opportunity to wish happy Christmas to our clients, new and old, suppliers and supporters that we have had the pleasure of working with this year! It has been a busy year with lots of highs and lows but we have got through it with everyone’s help. It’s time to get the kit back in the shed and have a well earned day off! Thank you everyone and have a great Christmas.

And like that November is gone a busy one with no sign of slowing down! Mainly been assisting a fantastic local client, team jones equestrian with site improvements and general maintenance, we have also managed to squeeze in national hunt schooling fence repairs, racecourse work, some local fencing jobs and the odd bit of tree work and shed dismantling and managed to get a few days back on the course at Burghley. It’s now full steam ahead with Christmas tree cutting at Digby farms. Once again big thank you to all my clients new and old.
