Super pleased with Foggy at Rolleston 90 ODE … another very good sub 30 dressage, followed by a couple of poles due to a lapse of concentration and steering, then just one run out at a large coloured boat before the water running down hill. For a horse that is green as grass XC and has an irrational fear of water, I couldn’t be more pleased to finish the XC cantering home on a confident horse! He isn’t green at home and time in the ring is essential for this youngster and we learn more about him with every outing! Onwards and upwards 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻 thank you to .ewart for trusting me with Foggy Dogg!

Morning boys 🥰

5yo Foggy ID x TB - his first morning trail hunting this season

He lightly autumn hunted last season giving him brilliant exposure to other horses, cantering in a group, balancing himself on undulating terrain, finding his own way to a fence and waiting for me to climb on and off.

This set him up perfectly for his first experiences in a warm up and at his first competitions, he had a few runs at the beginning of the summer before having a little holiday.

He has come back much more grown up, stronger and ready to do a half season trail hunting whilst working on our flatwork in between.

The makings of a brilliant all round fun little horse 💕

19/09/2023

Grid work day tomorrow 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

It’s been a busy 6 weeks lambing here at Withcote … all the youngsters get used to bumping into sheep, shepherding, they are turned out with sheep … you name it, they become pretty sheep proof!!! @emmafennell38 redirecting some escapees on Spanish, 4yo Andalusian

Remember Bubbles the huge moving 4yo by Glamourdale … he is now 5 … having had a winter holiday, he is more mature physically and mentally and he really does answer all our questions!! Very jealous of Freya who has been jumping the babies whilst I am off games, she has done a fab job!

The king of ‘trot and pop’ and as Irish as they come …. Tommy Tucker!!!

First night turned out …. So many exhausted babies!!! 😴😴😴

Great to see Fantastic Lady in the Winner’s Enclosure at Sandown today! Congratulations to her owners the Hanbury’s! Great to have been a tiny part of this mares journey, she was backed here at Withcote!
