Broadstone Equestrian

Mondays don’t get much better than this one. A trip to Somerford’s with my 🦄. Shes feeling mega. Her first XC session since 2022 and I think we’re ready for the season! Then back home this afternoon to coach some lovely clients. #happydays #broadstoneequestrian #training #coaching #

Good boy Leo, 2nd in the 100 today at Burgham. Lovely dressage for 21 and double clear jumping. Still slightly had my snail pants on picking up 0.8 time faults! 🤦🏼‍♀️ I’m super pleased with him, he’s feeling very confident at this level and ready for stepping up to novice next time out. Thank you Ella Armitage for all your help making a super long day feel much easier 🫶🏻. #exciting #cleverpony #broadstonebabies Childeric UK Keyflow Feeds

Clever Leo was such a good boy at Upton horse trials today, 23 dressage and double clear to finish 5th in the BE100, his muppet of a jockey got confused with my watch so we picked up some time 🤦🏼‍♀️ moving us down the placings. Dexter had his first run with his new pilot @finnhealy_eventing, producing a 27 dressage, 4faults sj and a lovely clear xc with planned time in the novice. Good day all round! 🫶🏻🥳🥂🤩#childeric #keyflow #broadstonebus #cleverponies

WINNER WINNER!!! Today was my turn in the saddle riding my lovely homebred Broadstone Lion Man. He did a super test in the BE100 for 27.3 and jumped double clear round his first BE track finishing on his dressage score to take the win!! #winnerwinnerchickendinner #cleverpony #2023season #broadstonebaby @keyflowfeeds @childeric_uk

Feeling super proud of Treamble and Finn Team Healy Eventing after competing at Kelsall Hill Equestrian Centre in the CCI-S 3* at the weekend. They came 2nd place🥈producing a super double clear inside the time to finish on their dressage score of 28.3! Another great result for them at what was only their second run at this level 🥳🥂💙 Childeric UK Keyflow Feeds #BroadstoneEquestrian

Today we dusted off the show gear and visited Golden Valley Equestrian centre to do some BS with homebred 5yo Broadstone Lion Man 🌟🦄🙌🏼 Thrilled with him jumping double clear finishing 3rd in the British Novice followed by another double clear in the Discovery 🙌🏼🥰🦄 #BroadstoneEquestrian #Britishshowjumping #Britishshowingassociation #Britisheventing #horsesofinstagram #youngeventhorse #wintertraining

This little chap and I had our first trot round the indoor on our own today. Alfie is such a lovely young horse to work with, he has such a willing kind attitude. Sadly he is for sale if anyone is looking for a lovely young horse. In the meantime I’m having fun! #byupwiththelark #baby #justbacked #broadstonebaby

When your pony just loves the treadmill!! 😂💕🦄🫶🏻 @cathillequinewatertreadmill

It’s been a very busy couple of weeks here’s a little update of what we have been up to. Dexter and Dora both went to Kelsall Hill Horse trials for the 2* and 3*. Dora did a much more respectable dressage for 34.2 😅she jumped a lovely clear sj, i decided to save her for another day as she didn’t really need the xc run so we enjoyed some fitness work on the gallops instead. Dexter produced a beautiful test for 26.6, we had one unfortunate pole in the SJ but a super clear xc adding 1.2 time to finish 4th!! 🤩🥳 I have also recently got a lovely new mare, co-owned with John Steels, Wilma to her friends has a really sweet temperament and a super jump, I am really enjoying producing her. Looking forward to getting her out and about jumping soon. Im very grateful for this exciting opportunity. 😊 Dora and Dexter have since have been to Ian Woodhead for dressage lessons, both horses were super and I am thrilled with where their training is at. 🥰 We then took a trip to Johns for some SJ sessions. We had 3 very productive sessions with Leo, Dora and H. And today we have been out to a BS show at vale view. Dexter produced a lovely clear in the Newcomers, he also jumped well in the foxhunter just having a pole coming out of the double. H was back out at his first show this season and he jumped a lovely double clear. Dora jumped in the foxhunter also having the same pole out of the double but she jumped well. I’m looking forward to Richmond on Friday with the eventing ponies! 😆 Thank you so much to @mr.john.steels for all your help with my showjumping. I never thought I would enjoy this phase so much. After every lesson and show I come away having learnt lots, feeling more confident and hungry to jump more! So much so that as much as I love eventing I have decided to just event Dora and Dexter and enjoy more jumping with the others! Amongst all of the above I have also enjoyed helping all my super clients with their four legged friends to

This weekend has been a busy one at @somerfordparkofficial International Horse Trials. Broadstone Numero Uno was awesome in her first 2* with a dressage of 32.5, she jumped double clear picking up 9.6 time faults on the xc. Finishing 19th 🥳 HHS Sterling was super in his first 2*. He was a little green in the dressage but still gained a good mark of 31.4, an unlucky 4 faults sj and a super xc round picking up 7.6 time faults put him in 21st! 🤩 Treamble was amazing, she lead the dressage with 25.8, sadly we had an unlucky rail in the showjumping for 4 faults, an awesome xc round inside the time meant we finished 2nd! 🤩🥂🥳 With a huge class of 97 competitors, I could not be more proud of my horses, all 3 in the prize money!!! Thank you so much to my super team both at somerford and home, weekends like these are a real team effort. #topweekend #coolkids #childeric #keyflowfeeds

Kelsall Update!! Last weekend we made the trip to Kelsall Hill Horse Trials. Such a lovely event! We had some good results and some educational runs! HHS Sterling aka Dexter was a ⭐️! He produced a super test for 21.4, had an unlucky pole SJ, I decided to give him a steady run xc but he covers the ground more than I realised only picking up 1.2 time penalties to finish 6th in the BE100. Looking forward to going Novice next! 😆 Inevitable RS aka H competed in the 2*, I was super pleased with his test. Great to see big improvements in this phase with him. He had 4 faults sj and annoying we picked up 20 pens on xc. Only myself to blame but he felt very classy around the rest of the course. Treamble also competed in the 2*. I was super thrilled with her test to lie 5th after dressage. Unfortunately the jumping phases didn’t go as well as normal. A miscommunication in the sj meant we picked up 14 penalties and on xc brakes/steering issues meant we picked up an annoying 20 pen coming out of the water. I’m disappointed with my own performance riding these two horses, some jump practice needed to find some more self belief I think!! I hate feeling like I’ve let the horses down. 🤦🏼‍♀️😖 HHS Williamstown aka Princess Dora did the dressage in the intermediate- she did a lovely test for 26.8. I decided to give her a little bit longer before we run her sj and xc as her cracked heels are looking so much better but not quite 100%. Can’t wait to run her next time! 😆 We then finished off the weekend in the BE100 open with Broadstone Numero Uno, she produced a super test for 28 and SJ clear. Unfortunately the xc was abandoned due to a fall. Best wishes to Sam for a speedy recovery. Video of HHS Sterling jumping through the water!! A couple of weekends off due to needing a small procedure doing. Hopefully I’ll be rested and recovered to go to Aston le walls next.

Broadstone Midget Gem aka Little Nellie was desperate to help the field staff with their poo picking! As you can see, she's growing into a big girl now. I'm so excited to see how she develops! 😍🐴🐎 #broadstoneequestrian #broadstonestud #broadstonehomebred #broadstonemidgetgem #littlenellie #curiousfoal

We’ve recently been taking trips out to the water treadmill. The water treadmill is so good for the horses, and they all love a paddle!! It's so incredibly useful for improving their general fitness without the wear and tear on their bodies. Thank you to Thorpe Farm Rehab and Fitness for their excellent service. Roll on the event season. ❤🐴❤ #broadstonestud #broadstoneequestrian #watertreadmill #eventhorses

Ambles' favourite day of the week is fresh shavings day! As you can see, she is very helpful! 😂❤😂 #broadstonestud #broadstoneequestrian #treamble #amble #eventhorses #yayfreshshavingsday #happyhorse #keyflowfeeds
