Teamwork makes the dream work 🥰 after a great show at Hartpury we made the decision to try and chase qualifying scores in the MCI Novilla and headed to Cobham. Job done ✅ minor issue when the judge stopped me part way as they thought I’d gone wrong but I hadn’t… so Raymond enjoyed a little rest and picked up where he left off 😂

What a great couple of days competing at the GBPRE show at Hartpury.
A huge thank you to Emma Butler - Coaching for Confidence for letting me ride and produce Raymond, he really is a very special boy. At only 5 years old he was second in the Novilla with 77%, he was a little overwhelmed in the music 🎶 class but the whole show was a terrific experience for him.

It was an absolute pleasure to ride Carol’s lovely Spider 🕷️ on Thursday at Saddlesdane Equestrian Centre then support her in their first BD competition together. Carol doesn’t do social media but she wanted us to share this on her behalf. Carol is an inspiration to all riders, and shows the power of grit, discipline and determination!

“A massive thank you to the MBD Team especially to Mark and Emma
It's over 4 years since I competed and it didn't end well, albeit on a different horse. On Thursday I went down the centre line again at Saddlesdane!!!

This was only made possible by the huge support from you good people - who have encouraged and guided me all the way.

Since his arrival, Spider and I are now a very different combination thanks to Mark's training skills and patience.

Emma thank you for keeping me and Spider on track on our sessions and for holding my hand on this fun journey.

Now my understanding of what dressage training is really all about demonstrates that with the right people around you; the dream of ever competing again at any age is possble

Carol’s lovely Spider 🕷️ just gets better and better. 🧡 Mark has some availability for teaching either at ours or yours, please drop him a message if you’d like to train with a UKCC L3, BD listed judge and an all round lovely guy. If the horse is the centre of your training ethos, then he’s the trainer for you. Producing nice horses that are a pleasure to ride are what he does… as well as producing horses who are successful in competitions too!

Emma and I had a great weekend attending our first Iberian Performance Show at Parwood. Yacaré de Palojo was super winning the Primera with me over 74% and second with over 70% in his first prelim with Emma.
We have had an amazing journey with Raymond, who Emma bought in 2022 as a 3-y-o, who’d just been sat on.
Thanks as always to

We are heartbroken 💔 to have said goodbye to our horse of a lifetime, Flo. The Dutch driving horse who became a superstar dressage horse and took us to all the places you dream of!
Beautiful inside and out, in the end the spirit was mighty but the body was weak.
Sleep tight our beautiful boy and thank you… we had an absolute ball!

What a difference a year makes… same horse, different rider! It’s been a fantastic year watching these two develop into a real partnership. I’m needed less and less these days 😂 except when he’s been freshly clipped; then suddenly Emma is too busy to ride! 😝
