This little champ had his first everything today, first outing, first warmup , first party… He’s Big, leggy and weak. But what a horse he will be. Came home with 2 1st’s and 70+%
To ride a son of the Incredible Rubatino ML (Artie) would always be a special one
I’m sure he’ll follow in his fathers footsteps ❤️

Rubatino ML (Artie) owned by Denise And Suzanne Clayton went to Swallowfield on Sunday for a couple of medium tests. In true Art style he tried to pull a sick note the week before and split his lip so 5 days off . 3 days work and off we went!
Wasn’t our best work with some hair raising moments and costly mistakes . 2nd in first test with 68.62% and a win in his 2nd test with 70% ..

The hardest thing to do especially with young horses is to do nothing and let them find their own balance and let them make mistakes to work it out for themselves . Such an improvement with these pair since i saw them 2 weeks ago . Dedication, hard work and doing homework really does pay off. We never stop learning as a rider or coach . Every horse is an individual. Getting a young or tricky horse to work along side and with you is the best reward ever, however small it may look on the outside .. it’s not about looking flash, jumping big fences and quick results, we have the show ring for that 😁 schooling at home is for the future, to let mistakes happen and to allow the horse to be given the opportunity to make the right decision or sometimes the wrong!
