Lennox making light work of our first 1.30 in a while today 💥🖤🤩
Just rolling a pole at the very last fence but he loved the bigger fences and gave me a great feel over what walked like a very big track!

Plus a pic of Basil to remind me he is improving in his jump all the time even if today felt like a day where it didn’t show on paper.

Thanks to for having them glowing in the sunshine and feeling full of beans.

This horse 🖤
What I wouldn’t do to have a yard full of him?!

26/03/2025

Pretty thrilled with the improvement this lovely mare has made in just 8 weeks of being with us on livery 🙌🤩

Absolute proof of how brilliant The Pure Feed Company is and why I rate it so highly. January through the rest of winter is not an easy time to get weight on horses, we are still waiting on the spring grass so Pure 🩵 and her owners hard work really can take the credit for this!
She can be quite a buzzy mare so too much food or the wrong thing wouldn’t be a good option but that’s the magic of Pure, low sugar, low starch, high fibre and full of all the good stuff 💪 all of which leads to a shiny, round, happy horse 🥰

Basil making pretty light work of his first intermediate at Barbury 😍. A pulled shoe made the last few hills a bit scruffy but he kept digging in. Chuffed with how straight and happy he looks, looking forward to the next!

Like a duck to water 🤩

Gorgeous Dalton having his first XC school and he didn’t disappoint, he is one cool customer. Brave, careful and enjoyed it, all the ingredients to make a super event horse 🙌
This lovely 5yo is now ready for a new home where he will excel in any discipline. Available at mid teens 💰. Message me if you would like more info.

Also just saying… how great does the XC look? All freshly rolled and harrowed, lots for a babies first school and then to progress with 👌

Tentatively putting this out there to see if her perfect next 🏡 is looking…

Molly is horse I am hugely fond of and have enjoyed producing so much. She has an abundance of talent but isn’t going to progress eventing without a natural love of XC. She is so careful and competitive showjumping that this is really where she should be focusing and I don’t have the time to do this justice at the moment.

Molly is a 17h 11yo ISH mare, she is a powerful forward mare to sit on and has been super consistent BS jumping up to foxhunter with 248 points and £532 winnings. She has current qualifications for blue chip, newcomers second rounds and amateur championships. She rarely has a pole and is frequently in the money and that is just jumping alongside the eventing.

She has scope to burn, has been well educated on the flat and jumped double clears novice eventing.

Molly is incredibly quiet and easy on the ground and at a show, a lovely character that is a pleasure to look after. She is a tough mare who hasn’t taken a lame step on the four years that I’ve owned her.

Things to consider… She did have a nap in her when I bought her which wasn’t disclosed, this has basically disappeared, this has never shown itself SJ and she now happily hacks on her own, it only rears its head XC at an event which is why I feel like a career change is best for her. She wears a nose net between march-October.

I’m really on the fence about selling her as she is a sensitive mare who needs a quiet kind rider. That said I think she would suit a competent amateur brilliantly wanting to be competitive, or for a pro wanting a horse ready to go and progress with.
If she doesn’t find the right home I will happily keep her, continue jumping her and at some point breed beautiful babies.

I’m always quite nervous on upgrade days. The responsibility on us to pick the right time to do it, to pick the right event, to make sure they are as ready as possible… and then ultimately taking that leap of faith and hoping all the hard work and training is in there and ready to go!
With all this to factor in I was over the moon with Basil stepping up to intermediate today at a fairly beefy Barbury! He felt classy over bigger fences, helped out when he needed to and dug deep up the hills so early in the season 💪🤩🙌

He finished happy, ears pricked and maybe a bit suprised that he had to try a bit harder than his usual bare minimum!

Also super proud and chuffed for having a brilliant spin around her second intermediate. Very much looking forward to the rest of the season with these two horses running alongside each other.

It was so much fun to be back at beautiful , amazing going and super educational courses, a huge thankyou!

Good babies at Felbridge today, it was incredibly busy and they were both so professional even managing to warm up for their dressage in a busy jumping warm up. They both came out with a respectable 65% and popped around the 80cm after 💛🩶

Both these two have super brains. Carrie is an amateurs dream and Dalton is good and easy enough for an either an amateur wanting a classy young horse or a pro looking for something to produce. Full ads to follow next week with some fresh video!

Good jumping beans today 🌟
Both feeling fab and loving that shine 🩵

Back in the ring with this one 🙌🤩

Feeling fabulous for a super round today with a 5th in the foxhunter 🖤

Lennox feeling better than ever after what feels like rehab #375629 🤪 but on we move and it feels really good for now 🙏

09/03/2025

Eventing in the sunshine on great ground for the first event of the season , what a win!

All three horses were fantastic and felt really happy to be back out! Guinness got the 🌟 of the weekend with a 🥈 in his section and I’m so pleased with how our partnership has grown and how he is starting to relax and trust me. The ‘has talent needs direction’ asbo child is hopefully going to stay on this path 🙏

A big thankyou to for having them looking and feeling so great, loads of energy but just about keeping a lid on it 🙌

Not much beats training in the sunshine with my number one man 🖤😎
You wouldn’t know he hasn’t seen a skinny since last summer, he was so professional and happy to be doing his job again 🌟

No solid plans at the moment and just enjoying him, building him back up to full fitness and then we will see where that takes us…

So impressed with our young horse Dalton today at his first arena hire outing 🤩

This stunning 5yo just took it all in his stride, traveled like a dream, hung out in the arena with others and popped round a course of fences including his first water tray no bother!
He is one of the most self assured babies I think I have ever had. He moves, jumps and loves to work. The rare sort that would suit an amateur or a pro and do any job 🩶
With incredible breeding Armison/Cornet Obolensky/Kolibti he is going to make someone very happy!

Videos and full ad in the next few weeks but ready to see now if someone is looking for a quality straightforward young one to produce on.

Top tip for a freezing cold manky day at the office… jump some grids and let the horses put a smile on your face 🤩💥💪👌
February is definitely not my favourite but the event season is incoming so there is a good incentive to keep getting the work done at least!
Thrilled to have Lennox back jumping and feeling fantastic, Balu playing ball and Molly feeling confident 🌟
