Not long now until this boy can be back under saddle. I'm intrigued to see how much more he has to give now he's had his operation. I have a feeling he will step up again and go even further in exceeding my expectations, which he has already surpassed a long time ago.
Sea the World and Suse at Merrist Wood Arena today in their 2nd round. Double clear. Placing a fantastic 4th position and they are now qualified in the Blue-chip Karma. 👏👏. #showjumper #bsja #bluechip #showjumpinghorse #newbarnequestrianservices
Sea the World and Suse at Dorset showground at the weekend. Competing in the Blue-chip Karma Qualifiers. 1 unlucky roll of a back rail on an oxer meaning just 4faults. Still secured themselves a great 4th position. Looking forward to Merristwood this weekend.

Fab afternoon with Sue Parks and her #ror #Chetan. Better know as Freddy. They came over to me at Dene Farm #xc for his first taster. Having been working with this team for a couple of months now, it's great to see how Freddys confidence has grown and just how far he has come throughout Sue's hard work in retraining him. #thoroughbred #ottbsofinstagram #exracehorse #crosscountry #retrainingofracehorses #intructor ##horse #lovemyjob #livingtheirbestlives #lovehim #horserider #horsesofinstagram #gelding #newbarnequestrianservices
These 2 make me proud. Firstly this horse, is one I have worked with for a while, who only really started to learn to jump at the later age of 12. Previously he was a driving horse for weddings many years back so definitely not second nature to him. Turns out he loves it! So much so, that after getting permission from his lovely owner, to borrow him to teach my lovely vaulting and dressage rider friend how to jump and get her confidence over fences. Never would i have thought in a million years he would help me start someone jumping...This particular video was only the second time she had ever sat on and jumped jack. He is not the easiest horse to ride by any means, and definitely not a school master, however he will always try his heart out for you as long as you give him confidence.... Here already she's happy and confident popping down the grid to a 1m oxer on a horse who is still very much learning what this whole grid line is all about. As a result she is now happily popping around 1m combinations and tracks. Also having popped an individual fence or 2 slightly higher. This has now transferred over to having the confidence to pop her own horse over fences without losing her nerve even when he gets a little bit hot!! She's now happy enough to ride him forward into his energy whilst jumping!
Fantastic result 👏 and it makes me a very happy trainer !!
When the racehorses forget they are retired 🤦♀️
Breath of fresh air!
Skies of blue and a beautiful view 💙
