🤩 Grassroots schoolmaster - a true gent

The time has come to find Trumper his new home. This lovely boy has been here on livery with us for six years and is a firms favourite with everyone 🌟. An absolute gem who is a brilliant schoolmaster at grassroots level and will happily step down and teach or would go back up a level again.

Trumper is a 16.2 2011 ISH Gelding by Mermus R who has competed to novice BE with an amateur/junior with multiple wins and placings at 100 level. His owner’s extensive work commitments mean that unfortunately keeping an eventing horse is no longer viable and although she does not want to sell him, knows that he would love to be out competing and has so much to offer someone.

He is an absolute gent to do on the ground and ride. Beautifully schooled with excellent paces he is always competitive on the flat and has scored sub 20s. He loves to jump, particularly enjoying his xc and is bold and straight. He is an out and out potential Badminton grassroots winner for the right person.

For the last two years he has had an adult amateur and then a 13yo loan him. For both of them he was genuine and straight and taught them so much. In 2023 with his new jockey who hadn’t competed BE before he had 5 successful BE100 outings and placing in the top 15 at all of them, including qualifying for Badminton grassroots in this short space of time!

He has had some time off and rehab in the last year for a field injury which has now fully healed and shouldn’t cause any further problems. Happy to disclose history to serious buyers. He has been a very sound easy horse to manage on the whole. Fully fit and has been to a show this year already.

Asking 💵 mid teens including 2 lightly used Voltaire jump and dressage saddles as well as other tack/rugs

Penny Pau showing off her scope combined training today 🤩. Lots of improvements from her last dressage test which was a while ago and a much more grown up showjumping round. Hopefully she’s done with the growth spurts and can now strengthen up and crack on a bit more in 2025 🙏

Looking for some freelance yard help this Wednesday and Thursday mornings for general yard duties with us in Reigate. Other ad hoc work available.

The ultimate good boy Trumper getting an outing today for the first time in a while 😍

Last minute change of plan as his jockey had flu so Molly subbed in and jumped him round, having never jumped a fence on him before! He hasn’t been to a show in six months, it’s freezing cold and a new teen jockey on his back and off he goes with his ears pricked 🥰🙏 Don’t they both do a great job?

This gorgeous boy is ready for a new home, full ad to follow shortly. He’s been there and done it and has so much to give still 🌟

07/01/2025

Captain Balu often gets called Captain ‘insert all sorts of rude words here’ but today he was Captain Fantastic 🌟
First outing for the year with a trip to and Balu jumping a super round for 4th in the 1.10 🤩

This might not be a flash result or a big show but a picture speak a thousand words… the expression on his face here is everything 🙏

Happy , forward thinking and loving his job right? You wouldn’t believe the hours I’ve spent going backwards on this horse, planted under trees and just generally coaxing him as he freezes and there is nothing that will change his mind, he will warm up like a dream and then get eliminated at the first fence 🤯 He went hunting and would happily watch his friends gallop away after leading the field to start, he refused to load at all for a while, he has baffled some brilliant riders and trainers… For now we are on the right path, I have no idea how long it will last or where it will turn but for now both of us are enjoying it! So for anyone with a quirky weird one going in to 2025, keep listening to them, keep trying to put the puzzle together and believe that they are never just bad for the sake of it.

😈 He has given me some of the worst and some of the best moments of my competition days, I might never really understand him but I’m trying!

24/12/2024

A little Christmas grids sessions for and .latham_murphy today 🥰🙌🥳.

🌟 Both horses jumping beautifully and a credit to both girls who keep putting the work in… you would never know how quirky these two horses are as a result!

Knees up yesterday .ec for these two 🤩

Over the moon with Molly to jump her first foxhunter… it’s been a long journey to keep her confidence intact, she can go so high but that hasn’t always been a good thing and to feel her skipping round yesterday using her jump but staying within herself was magic 🥰🤍. A massive thankyou to Ian Wills who has been a big part of her journey and has been so patient at cajoling both of us along 🙏. Wherever her journey ends up with me she has taught me so much, she’s so sensitive it keeps pushing me to ride better and improve so for that I will always be grateful (while remembering to sit up and use my core 🤪).

A day of two halves , winter properly arrived 🥶!

Good rounds for all though, plenty of double clears and a 🥈 for Balu in the metre open in the worst of the weather, this horse continues to be an enigma!

Particularly chuffed with the mare squad, Molly’s super 1.15 round and jumping a great fox double clear with Heidi 👸🏼 🚀

What a great weekend I had supporting .showjumping for the amateur championships 🙌

Such a great experience for Moothi and Tintin at their first show of this size and atmosphere 🌟
Two rounds jumped and a super clear today to finish with. Tintin grew in confidence in the busy bright indoor and Moothi rode a really professional and smart round, very proud of them both!

Tintin of course looking and feeling fantastic powered by , plenty of energy for a long few days plus travelling but always staying focused and rideable 🤩

💛 Something special

Carrie is our golden girl. She loves to work, is a joy to produce and a pleasure to look after 🌟

15.2 Rising 5yo dun mare, Connie x tb
Schooling well on the flat and has been to local unaffiliated prelim tests scoring high 60s, she is extremely balanced for her age and makes a lovely picture.
She loves her jumping and is not spooky or silly, snaffle mouthed and XC schooled well at home and away.

She is a grassroots dream and wise beyond her years. She has been used for lessons for 12yo riders and even did a day at pony club camp this summer. She will be someone’s best friend and suit a mother daughter share, a competitive amateur or just happy hack!
Asking 1️⃣4️⃣🥕🥕🥕

Based at Littleton Manor Equestrian in Reigate with excellent trial facilities.

What a great week of shows I have had with these three 🤩

On Wednesday we headed to with and .showjumping for our first indoors show of the year. What a treat to have a lovely indoor venue locally again 🙌. It was a great reminder that jumping indoors really accentuates so much, looking ahead, riding good turns and keeping the right canter are more important than ever and you get found out fast if you don’t!
That said the girls did super jobs and finished 🥈 and 🥉 in the metre and jumped good newcomers rounds.

Next stop was today with who was back in the ring for the first time in a while and jumped a beautiful double clear with Heidi 🌟

So much to look forward to with these three and some step ups in the near future! But for now, next stop Aintree for our next adventures 💪

✨

A quick trip out to this morning and I was lucky enough to give Chilli a jump round as her owner is away travelling.

🤩 This lovely girl is now looking for her new home and to be honest I can’t believe she hasn’t been snapped up. She is a great mover and jumper and with plenty of milage under her belt will make a fantastic schoolmaster for a competitive amateur or teenager. To top it off she is kind and very easy to look after! Message me if you would like more info.

💪 It might be November and the days are shorter but winter training is well underway here! Supporting clients and their horses with their goals is an important part of our livery offering and today was a fun one with lots of the good stuff achieved 🌟

💥 Heidi with her customary turbo boost had a lovely time SJ schooling and is looking super and ready to get back in the ring with

🧡 I was lucky enough to take the lovely Ed for a spin for as well which he loved and hopefully keeps him entertained and ready for her to enjoy for training at the weekend

🍑 we are so spoilt to have exceptional going on the XC at this time of year at home so took her sassy ginger for a play on the grass and they had a great time

So lucky to have such lovely clients and horses and really glad myself and the team can help keep the wheels rolling when people have so much to juggle.

Thankyou Lennox 🖤 Grateful for another step back up to advanced @ecastonlewalls with this boy, it’s taken two years since the last go and a few hurdles along the way 🤪 but we got there! Three good phases with plenty to improve on and I think we both knocked a little rust off today 🙌 Thanks @emi_1996m for trucking and having him looking beautiful, to @thepurefeedcompany for having him on great form and @richbirkettrbpc for pushing me along as well! #horsesofinsta #equestrian #eventing #goeventing #makeithappen #dreambelieveachieve #betterneverstops

I had a ball with this one on Friday around the 3* at Aston. He’s such a pro at his job now it’s a real pleasure 🖤 In particular I was really pleased with his dressage as it’s taken a while to get things heading back in the right direction after his list of various ailments 🤪. He jumped a good showjumping round with one rub and then cruised around xc. So lovely to have this @horseandcountrytv footage to go back over 🤩 #horsesofinstagram #equestrian #goeventing @britisheventing @thepurefeedcompany
