🥇 Josie flicking her toes to 67% in Prelim 5 at SNEC at the weekend.
Only a few of tests under her belt, and with each one she’s getting more confident and relaxed inside the boards. She really is a superstar!🌟 🥇

🌟 A new venue for Josie this weekend. Off to HOWE for some unaffiliated show jumping, producing two lovely double clears in the 70cm and 80cm. Why buy one picture when you can have five!🌟

The end of this month marks one year since Katherine made a return to competition after nearly a decade away.

To celebrate, she headed to Arena UK for the Petplan Area Festival Championship.Simply qualifying for both Prelim and Novice exceeded all expectations this year, so the focus was very much on gaining experience — especially as it was the first stay-away show for both horse and rider.

While Jessie wasn’t quite on side this weekend and it showed in both tests, there were some real silver linings. It was incredibly rewarding to see previous areas of weakness now becoming strengths and how much her confidence has grown between the boards — proof that the hard work is paying off.

There’s plenty of homework to tackle over the winter as they set their sights on moving up to Elementary next year.

A huge thank-you to Rowena for accompanying Katherine on the long journey down south — hope she didn’t complain too much about the cold, wet, and windy weather!

As a livery yard owner I’m on several livery yard Facebook groups and constantly read all the endless moaning about YOs, liveries, bullying, poor facilities, lack of turn out etc etc!
Whether by luck or design I have wonderful liveries who actually come to the yard to ride and enjoy their horses and, as importantly, genuinely encourage and support each other.

Sam, for complete dedication you deserve a medal and are proof that hard work does pay off. Placing well this year at BE90 and stepping up to 100, qualifying for the Championship 90 at Scone and storming round the xc. 2 double clears at BS 90 and 100 this weekend. Well done!

When stresssge becomes dressage! Rowena winning her class at Totleywells , and also regaining her confidence jumping the bigger courses too. BE beckons !

Amy has been on a winning streak in all 3 disciplines and passed her PC C+ this weekend. Amazing! ( you can put the gamgee and bandages away now!) And proving Adara is the perfect mother/daughter share, Margaret recently nailed her dressage test with a red frilly.

Tara’s jumping debut this weekend on her new pony was a success with double clears at 60 and 70, qualifying her for PC Spring Festival Fabulous!

Laura and the lovely Nancy producing good tests last weekend. Still more stresssge due to transport issues and scary hairy pony in the warm up but all good in the end!

Katherine and Jessie won their prelim practice test at Rockrose this weekend. The championship classes weren’t meant to be but most importantly Jessie was confident between the boards all weekend. The count down is on till Arena UK!

Not forgetting those who weren’t out competing this weekend but have been working hard at home preparing for future events.

We are not a competition yard and it’s a happy coincidence everyone is achieving their goals at the end of the summer. Well done everyone and keep up the good work!

🎉🎉 Petplan Summer Area Festival Debut! 🎉🎉

The preparation leading up to last weekend was not ideal. During a schooling session in May, Jessie suddenly went lame in front. Nerve blocks couldn’t pinpoint the issue. Cue box rest. Just when we thought she was ready to bring back into work she went lame but this time from behind. Turns out it was cellulitis from some antics in the stable. Thankfully, it was a straightforward fix with Petplan being only 6 weeks away.

Saturday’s Novice Bronze was a test against the elements—literally. The weather wasn’t on our side, and Jessie saw the bogeyman hiding behind the judge’s box. Typically, this would have set Jessie off for the whole test however once she touched the centre line it was game on and did her first ever clean test, scoring the highest individual mark of 72% and finishing overall 2nd with 69% securing her first ticket to Arena UK.

Sunday’s Prelim Bronze was just as good. Another confident test, this time earning the highest individual test score again with 73.57%, and another 2nd overall with 70%—second ticket in the bag!

If you know Jessie, you know she’s a quirky, sensitive mare. She can be a superstar at home, but keeping her composure in the arena has always been the real challenge. This weekend, she proved just what she's capable of. We couldn’t be prouder—and maybe, just maybe, the penny has finally dropped!

Massive thank you to Karen Dewar Dressage for the incredible coaching this past year and Fiona Optimize Vet Chiropractic who works magic on all our horses but in particular Jessie who acrobatics in the field often mean not everything is where its suppose to be.

Bring on Arena UK!
