August!!!
Poppet has been smiling away in the sun after finally concurring the art of hacking he has been a very good boy managed to contain him self after a very distracting dressage test at west wilts to bring home a 6th 🏅
Pen has been taking it easy practicing his flat work at home, and is really enjoying his jumping and plodding round the country side 🥰
Merlin is back in full swing getting ready for his first run on Sunday I think he is going to be very excited to be back out it’s been a while for us 😬
Recently I have had a lot of people moaning there horse can’t do this do that do the other. Or someone sed this someone sed that. Just remember every journey has a start middle and end the start feels like forever, the middle doesn’t feel that long and the end comes way to soon! My start with my boy was hard, being told over and over to shoot him, that he would never do any job let alone what I had hoped to do with him, that one day he would kill me!! Well Merlin proved every one of those comments wrong! Our start was hard Merlin use to rear in hand and being riden, launch into traffic if he didn’t want to wait, some times didn’t even want to leave the yard, would spin and bolt home, on the ground he use to lash out with his front legs, bite. He wasn’t easy! But now I have the best horse ever I have achieved more then I ever wished I could!! So I guess what I am trying to say is don’t ever give up and don’t ever be afraid to ask for help! Help doesn’t mean you can’t do it it just means you need a new set of eyes to try find a different way to jump the hurdle infront of you!!
So I had manny with me for schooling for 3 weeks to get him started for his owners, in his time with me we worked a lot on just trying to get him to relax when getting on and when being ridden I received this lovely message from his owners the others day “ Hiya, just thought I’d update you on manny he’s been amazing like a completely different horse had a lovely walk trot and canter round the field today and he didn’t put a foot wrong. Mum had a sit on him also and he was so good!! “ I love hearing how horses are doing after leaving me. Manny is booked back in in a few weeks to help with the next stage. I have been working with a lot of ex-race horses recently not long and my little Welshie will be back in the spot light
