Chloe Victoria Dawes qualified our two mares Femma Lijbra and Danibelle Delicious for the BD winter Nationals which took place last week and this weekend. We are thrilled with both!
Dani held it together at her first National level championship and she smashed it to place 5th out of 35 in the Petplan Advanced Medium bronze class and Chilli has battled extensive rehab after her surgery for a broken shoulder last August to place 13th out of 32 in the Petplan Advanced Medium silver class with some costly mistakes in the changes.

A lovely few days in the sunshine catching up with friends and enjoying the horses. Thank you to Jemima for holding fort at home

"Save the stick and spoil the child "

Your horse is your partner but he has no power to think like us, or like dolphins or chimps.

Those three species are the only ones that can actually reason, the rest "associate ideas". This is very close but the lack of ability to reason means our horse cannot lead us. We must be the one who leads him and gives him direction. He then learns over time to trust us, becomes braver and then usually loves what he does.

If his rider is not prepared to lead him and to give him a clear framework of discipline - [the go button means GO, the stop button means STOP / please don't walk all over me and respect my space ] then life becomes a less and less happy place for him as he is without direction.
