He's a good boy ๐ซถ
Great session this morning with Helen Griffiths Dressage Instructor
Who'd have thought we'd be doing flying changes ๐
Petplan and Regional qualifications received, now time to have a go at an Adv. Medium ๐ฑ

My 4yo is better than yours ๐
So impressed with Neville's attitude so far, 3rd ever hack, after a week off, and we ended up way in front, and even practiced our handy pony skills when we got home to open the gate๐ซถ
Good boy!

Off the lead rein for Neville ๐
3 seconds of speed and nearly an overtake on the way home!
Tired giant has a few days off now to process being a ridden horse ๐ซถ๐
Big day for Neville๐ฑ we made it out for his first big boy ride, and what a star he was ๐ซถso proud of him!
Thanks Emma and Jegro for being top babysitters ๐
We have lift off ๐
Poor mum ๐
Atleast he keeps his head down low for her ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Good boy Neville ๐ค
Merry Christmas everyone๐๐
- here's a very jolly 4yo Alf on his way home from his first ever grown up canter today.
It's been a pleasure working with you all this year, and for those of you I'm not seeing this week, I'll see you in the New Year ๐ด๐คฉ๐พ
"Don't think, just do" is our latest homework to get our changes a bit more polished!
So pleased with his progress after just a few goes ๐ซถ๐
First ever party for 4yo Beth today-
Took everything in her stride for a very grown up warm up, then found everything a bit much in her test. The judges box and 'P' ๐คทโโ๏ธwere just too baffling..but I really can't have asked for much more having only been backed less than 2 months ago! ๐
Who'd have thought it ๐คทโโ๏ธ๐
His first ever couple of (pretty much) clean flying changes!
My little miracle horse is the gift that just keeps giving ๐ค
Nasty bout of colic for my precious boy tonight.
Didn't present at all as typical colic, but he didn't want his dinner, so immediately I knew something was wrong ๐คฆโโ๏ธ so out the field we marched and hand walked until our wonderful vet arrived.
But, all bright and well again now, thank goodness!
Here he is looking very confused and sorry for himself ๐
12 years of Lukey ๐ฑ the most orange orange horse. 8 Nationals, I don't know how many Regionals and Areas, and too many wins to keep track of from Prelim to PSG, and making my dream of wearing a tailcoat come true.
He kicks, bites, weaves, rears, bucks, bolts, spins, travels horribly, even now at nearly 18, but I sure wouldn't change him for the world.
My absolute number 1 ๐งก
2022 has been a whirlwind, and by far my busiest year to date.
So thank you to all my wonderful clients, friends and family who have supported me endlessly (mostly mum who hangs on to all your breakers when I'm swinging my leg over for the first time!) Without all of you, I wouldn't be where I am today!
Good luck and have a fantastic 2023๐ฅณ
Jegro, my super sane, safe, bombproof angel of a dressage horse finding the snow hysterical this morning ๐คฆโโ๏ธ๐คก this, shortly followed by galloping full speed.
My youngster was the most sensible idiot out of all of them โ๏ธโ๏ธ๐
George left me to go home a couple of weeks ago, but much to his disappointment his mum is still bringing him back weekly to keep his schooling on track.
He's such a lovely boy, and was an absolute pleasure to ride and have on the yardโค๏ธ๐ฆ
Look how grown up he is!
This horse ๐๐ค
Thank you Helen Griffiths Dressage Instructor for another fantastic lesson!
He's a showjumper in the making ๐
Learning flying changes today๐
I love this horseโค๏ธ
Max
Who remembers this guy?
Max has returned as an even bigger and stronger 4yo to start some grown up education.
After a few days of questionable attitude and several discussions on how when I kick, he doesn't need to kick aswell, we now have a trot with vague steering and transitions!
Some experimenting needed with bitting to encourage him to take the rein forwards, but we're only 1 week in, so he's not doing badly at all!
Jazz first hack
Baby Jazz's first proper hack out, and we even made it off the lead rein for most of it ๐ฅณ๐ฅณ
Pole work clinic 20/3/22
Another beautiful day for polework! ๐
So great to see everyone! I will sort some new dates shortly and hopefully see you all soon๐๐ฆ
Thank you once again Newhall Farm Equestrian for allowing me to use the arena!
