Wellington International was great fun as always with Paddy in the BE100 (very jealous not to be doing the 1* but .equestrian_phoenix made missing it worthwhile 😉🏆). He posted a nice dressage for 31.8, only 0.3 behind Tim Price who went before us so couldn’t be happier! Nothing more nerve wracking than riding after an Olympian 😂 He was VERY hyper show jumping rolling a couple poles, but posted another foot perfect clear inside the time on a very big and testing XC track, as always making it feel easy 🙌🏻
Off to camp with next weekend and then West Wilts BE with both boys in a couple weeks 🏇🏻As always I feel lucky to even be able to ride and compete no matter the result, and am forever grateful to Paddy for always bringing me home safe and with a massive smile on my face! 🥰

I can’t put into words how proud I am of both Chloe and Phoenix this weekend at the Championships 🤩 They absolutely smashed every single aspect of it with a PB dressage and 5/5 clear jumping rounds to come home as Team Show Jumping Champions yesterday 🏆 and Individual Eventing Champions today! 🏆 Finishing on a 30 double clear around a challenging championship XC course that caused a lot of problems 🏇🏻 They were both so calm and mature, and apart from the torrential rain, soggy feet and snoring 😂 we all had a fantastic time!
A massive congratulations is also in order for the rest of the riders for some outstanding results across the board 🙌🏻 Bring on next year! (And some sleep 😅) equestrian_phoenix

Aston was a blast to do Phoenix’s first BE90 and Paddy in the BE100. Phoenix did a lovely test with one small mistake for 33.5. Two poles at the start of the round jumping, don’t think he’d woken up but after a bop on the bum he got flying. Finished off by an AMAZING foot perfect clear inside the time XC 🥳🤩 he finished 12th overall which I’m so proud of! 😍
Paddy copied Phoenix to finish on 33.8, two poles jumping, one from him and one from me 🤦🏻‍♀️ then another easy clear inside the time XC 🥰 We will be moving up to some 1.05/1*’s next year as unfortunately cant make the dates for any remaining ones this year. Something to look forwards to! 💪🏻
Both the boys are showing off their beautiful Devoucoux saddles 😍 Paddy wears the Chiberta Lab, and Phoenix wears the Chiberta O 💚

Paddy was such a good boy at to jump the Discovery and 1.05 🚀💕 We have a quiet week on the cards focusing on dressage and hacking before I take both boys to Aston to run Paddy in the BE100 and Phoenix in the BE90 🇬🇧

Paddy’s beautiful XC round at Dauntsey BE100 🥰

EQUIREEL 814 Elise Clements & Mon Beau V at DAUNTSEY PARK 2024

Paddy was the best boy to finish 8th on Sunday at in the BE100 🙌🏻🥰
Ok-ish dressage for 34.5, a bit tense thanks to our non-existent warm up (Someone didn’t want to be caught at 4am 🙃) so after power trotting to the dressage when we finally got there we had about 2 minutes before our go 🤦🏻‍♀️ never a dull moment!!
He then did a really fantastic round in the jumping making it feel small, just rolled a back rail of a downhill oxer. He’s finally feeling like the amazing horse I know he could be, as well as it being the first time I’ve felt really confident and relaxed with this after the fall that hospitalised me a couple years ago. All a MASSIVE thanks to - we definitely wouldn’t be jumping and thinking like we are now without your help (and ass kicking 😂).
My XC King then skipped round for yet another clear inside the time 🥰 Equireel on the way - I couldn’t resist!
Massive thank you as always to for kitting us out with all the most beautiful tack, keeping me stay safe and paddy comfy! 😍💚

This perfect little pony is looking for a new best friend to love and look after 🥺❤️

I have a wonderful little lady staying with me whilst we find her a new home; 11.1hh 15-year-old quality Welsh Section A Mare."
"We have owned Winnie for 4 years and she has been a wonderful first pony for my 2 children.
She is excellent to handle on the ground and adores being groomed and pampered.
Winnie loves to hack and will happily go out alone or in company. I trust her implicitly with my children, she is not fazed by anything and is very good in traffic including farm machinery.
In the arena she works well on the lead rein or with someone walking alongside her. Off the lead rein she does require a more confident/ determined rider to keep her moving forwards well.
Winnie has attended PC rallies with us and whilst we have not personally shown her she was successfully shown by her previous owners. She will also happily pop over small jumps.
Snaffle mouth, good to catch, farrier, vet and walks straight into her trailer.
She does have EMS and we give her a low dose of Ertugliflozin (cost approx. £30 per month) each day for this plus grazing management. At last blood test in April insulin measurement was well within normal range.
5* experienced and loving home sought for this much-loved mare who is now sadly outgrown by my daughter.
Low 🥕🥕🥕🥕to include nearly new professionally fitted synthetic Thorowgood saddle, leather bridle and rugs."
This lovely little pony has been nothing but a saint to handle and work with since being with me, and up to date pictures and videos of being ridden with me can be provided too.

Paddy bossed his way around the BE100 at with his eyes closed for a foot perfect clear inside the time 🏇🏻💪🏻 Unfortunately paddy wasn’t quite so brave in the dressage, and after warming up beautifully his brain got the better of him 🤯 He had some lovely movements to score 8’s in between lots of spooks at the white boards, leaving us on a 38 for dressage (which truthfully was a relief 😂). He then jumped a fantastic round showjumping, but I got him a little flat one which cost us a rail.
Overall I was very happy with him, he isn’t a straight forward horse in the slightest and despite being brave as a lion XC, he is a massive scaredy cat 😅 He has been itching to get back eventing for the last couple months so the tension and excitement was pretty evident!
Massive thank you to for providing me with two amazing saddles and tack to make this all possible. I definitely wouldn’t have stayed on some of those spooks otherwise! 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

If anyone is interested in riding Daisy please get in touch! She’s based at my yard in Charlton on Otmoor, fabulous little pony, great facilities and hacking all round the moors and private land, plus opportunity for lessons!
She’s got a wicked jump and such a cool little lady ❤️

We are desperately on the hunt for a lovely kind 14-15hh pony to help regain lost confidence for a leggie 11yr old. She is a determined little jockey who went from a saintly 13hh legend to a sharp pony and she has spiralled down-hill after some dirty stops/unpredictable behaviour. She is now very nervous and has gone from jumping 70cm courses back to X poles.

In her words we need to find a pony that
Feels safe to ride in traffic and open spaces
That you know will jump if you ride it forwards into a fence
That wouldn't be anxious and nappy at events
That is easy in the stable/to load/shoe/clip etc
Has never bucked, reared or bolted

We basically need a calm nice pony club pony to join the family - a been there done it type who can get their jockey out of a fix. The right pony would want for nothing. A very knowledgeable and loving home (with siblings in the wings) awaits! We are active members of the pony club and have regular lessons - references available.

Based in Buckinghamshire but happy to travel.

Good budget.

No cobs please (personal preference) and no youngsters. This pony needs to know his job.

Advert on behalf of a friend. Please pm details of horses/ponies you may think are suitable

Paddy and I had a fun weekend away at the BRC Equilibrium Intermediate National Championships representing 🏇🏻
He was really unfortunate to give the lightest of rubs to a few poles in the first round which he didn’t deserve as was jumping fantastically! Then 2nd rounds he did get what he deserved to jump the most beautiful foot perfect clear ❤️
After a difficult month of treatment having fallen over in the field and whacking his pelvis pretty hard 😬 I was over the moon with him and so happy he’s back feeling on top form 🙌🏻 Massive thanks to Emma Branch for all the fantastic treatments she’s given Paddy to be able to get us here - couldn’t have done it without you!
We are also so grateful to be able to work with keeping me exactly where I need to be and supporting me now my balance isn’t as stable! 💚

Paddy doing what he does best! 🏇🏻

The two best boys out jumping on Sunday at with 🏇🏻🏇🏻
Paddy was a last minute stand in but ended up winning the class 🏆 qualifying for the Novice Area championships, with his team finishing 2nd overall 🥈We both had so much fun being able to go for it and do a proper jump off, as being a big gangly eventer he normally has to sit on his ass and wait 😂
Phoenix’s team finished 6th, and then in the following class the team were fantastic to finish 1st qualifying for the Intermediate Area championships 🏆 He had a very educational day out with a twisty course full of fillers and planks and tried so hard, just with a few baby mistakes but learning and growing in confidence every outing 🙌🏻
Fab day all round in the sunshine, wonderful company with the BORC ladies, and super groom help from mini me .equestrian_phoenix 🥰 only downside was being attacked by a red kite 😩🤣

Looking to view horses on this route on Friday 15th. 14.2-15.2 safe, sensible all rounder for a 13yo. Aged between 6-10. Must be a good jumper up to 1m and safe to hack in traffic. Absolutely no stoppers, napping, rearing, etc. healthy budget and will be staying on a small professional yard under instruction.

10/11/2023

Wonderful yard and arena! We will organising a few lessons there so pop me or Lynn a message if you’d like to book! 🏇🏻🙌🏻

Completely heartbroken to share the sad news of Kai passing over the rainbow bridge 😭🌈 I had the privilege of caring for and competing this wonderful soul for 3 years and becoming good friends with his wonderful owner 🖤

Paddy and I had a fun last run at last weekend to end the season 🏇🏻 Definitely the most technical XC course we’ve done to date and proud that we bossed it bitless - even though he was pulling my arms out having the time of his life 😅 Paddy’s got a few weeks off before we pick back up in December for lots of show jumping and dressage 🙌🏻

18/09/2023

So proud of both my boys at with this week 🥰 Phoenix was such a good boy, jumping out of his skin for only his third time jumping on grass and in an atmosphere as big as Blenheim! The team did fantastically to finish 2nd in the 90cm 🥈Paddy jumped a great round in the 100, just touching a few poles but making the super tight turns feel smooth and easy 🥰 Each of our team members had a couple poles dropping us out of contention, but it was still great fun!

10/09/2023

The bigger the splash, the happier the horse 😅🌊

08/09/2023

My amazing fluff ball never fails to make me smile 😁😍 He’s just such a dude!!

08/09/2023

Nothing beats this feeling 🥰

01/09/2023

My little legend! Jumped his first 90 and only bloody went clear to finish 3rd! 🥉 He is an absolute freak of nature, and I am so incredibly lucky he came into my life ❤️ The first time I sat on him it was 04/09/22, less than a year ago…and in two weeks time he will be competing at Blenheim Palace 😍

28/08/2023

Well well Wellington…what a s**t show 🤦🏻‍♀️ we finished on a high…with our worst score to date 🤣 I was in the worst possible position to help Paddy having a really bad MS day being in a lot of pain with my bad leg and struggling to walk or ride effectively.
After an ok (ish) dressage for 33.5, and warming up well SJ, we crashed and burnt a bit in the ring 🤦🏻‍♀️ I struggled with my balance and couldn’t use my leg to steer or maintain a consistent canter resulting in a very messy round so we walked away in tears.
XC he was great but had a pathetically slow stop jumping into the water where I couldn’t use my leg to say ‘go’, but he was a legend around the rest of the twisty technical course which makes me proud considering he is bitless with a wobbly useless passenger on his back 😅🤦🏻‍♀️
Highs and lows! At least we didn’t go out with a bang 🤣

Quieter week for paddy on the cards before some SJ training on Saturday at in preparation for the Blenheim Palace eventers challenge 😁🏇🏻
