👏Tuesday Check In👏
We’ve got an inside track into what our Road to Competition Day yesterday covered, plus a couple of top tips from Camilla Kruger and myself for getting the best out of your days' out with your horse!
Everyone did brilliantly!

Head to Horse Quest ref:364514 for full details of Samba (dun) and Lucy (grey). These two stunning rising 4yo Lusitano fillies have exceptional breeding and are entering their sixth week of our starting program.

Both are great to handle and have on the yard, and have taken to their ridden work very well. They have cool heads on their young shoulders, and are doing everything we expect (and more!) of horses at this stage of their training. They are both very well balanced, soft and give the rider a lovely feel. They would suit lightweight riders wanting to progress in dressage, WE or just have a beautiful riding horse.

They are being sold on behalf of their owner. They will be with us until Monday 28th April, when they will head back to Gloucestershire. An amazing chance to purchase an unspoilt, beautifully bred Lusitano mare, that has had a great start under saddle 😉! Please contact the owner directly if you would like to arrange a viewing or would like more information; 07717 455798

🐑 Happy Easter! 🐑
Throwing it back to a special Easter a couple of years ago when we were back in Australia at my family home, Silver Hills in New South Wales, and Rosie and I were helping with the mustering sheep and lambs around the hills.

We had to climb a few hills to find all the sheep, but the horses were surefooted and steady and know their jobs. And that view? unbeatable.

Wishing everyone a peaceful Easter filled with good company wherever you are in the world.

🌟 Star of the Week – Clive the Connemara! 🌟

We first met Clive last summer – a very anxious 6-year-old Connemara. Early attempts at backing hadn’t gone to plan, and some underlying physical issues meant he was on his last chance at becoming a ridden pony.

Together with his lovely owner, we created a tailored training plan, focusing on taking things slow and steady. Scheduling three separate 2-week blocks over 6 months ensured Clive stayed both physically and mentally comfortable throughout the process.

From a tense pony with flight mode always at the ready in the first two weeks… to a calm, confident, and happy ridden pony by the end of his final block – his transformation has been incredible! Hamish has taken the lead with his training and did an amazing job 💪💫

Here are some clips of his handover with Susanne, and Clive has now gone home to start an exciting new chapter in his ridden career. We’re so proud of him and Susanne – and so excited to watch him shine! 💛🐴

Loving our "Obstacles Day"!
Setting up patterns and obstacles in the arena is a great way of teaching the young horses how to move their feet in a practical way, without them getting sour.
By repeating the patterns, they become soft to the aids as they anticipate what is being asked of them.
It's also a great thing to do if you are a little nervous, as it maintains your focus and keeps you riding forward with a purpose.
These three young horses have had about 15 rides and have just come back in after a break (hence the stock saddles in case they have a bit of a kick up!). Riding together has the added benefit of desensitising them to other horses and teaching them to keep "with" their rider no matter what is going on around them!

We had a plan 🤔.
👌 Bring her into the foaling barn.
👌 Check her once or twice every night.
👌Move her fieldmate.

But nature had other ideas!

In the quiet of the field, without fuss or drama or any of the usual "waxing up" signs, The Guv’nor arrived—strong, steady, and already guzzling away like a pro. Duchess did it all on her own, just the way nature intended.

Her fieldmate, Raven, slipped seamlessly into the role of protective auntie—watchful, calm, and throwing the occasional dirty look at the nosey neighbours over the fence. No interference, just quiet support.

It’s funny, isn’t it? We tend to micromanage every detail of our horses’ lives.
It's a bit cold, better change their rug!
Difficult to handle, better buy that supplement!
It's raining, better leave them in the stable!

But then moments like this remind us:
🐴 Horses are still animals.
🐴 With instincts.
🐴 With millennia of evolution backing them.
🐴 They know how to be horses.

And sometimes, the best thing we can do… is get out of the way!

🌟 Star of the Week: River 🌟
Meet River — a stunning young horse who’s stolen our hearts over the past couple of months! 💙 Purchased unseen by the consultant adventuress, Katy Willings, from Truslers horses, River was straight from the continent and fairly unhandled, so needed an extra week of groundwork to settle him in. But once he got going, his beautiful temperament shone throughout the starting process 😍. Add in dreamy movement and a promising pop over a fence, River looks set for a sparkling future! ✨

Back home with Katy for just a week, he's already proving himself a total star. In her words:

“He’s being a total baller and we are delighted with him! He has played football with my 4yo son, led his 8yo stablemate over the motorway bridge and past the building site, and generally been an old soul in a perky, young body!”

We've worked with several horses from Truslers horses (including one of our own purchases!) and they have a knack of finding horses with lovely temperaments and exciting, up and coming bloodlines 😍

Really loving getting back into coaching after hanging up my international playing boots. It’s a period of rebuilding for the UK Squads after last year’s World Cup, and I’m thrilled to be a part of it!

This winter has been all about developing our horsemanship, keeping those stick skills sharp, and working on our ability to perform in pressurised environments (thanks , lots of your content coming in handy!) 💪. It’s also been great to see our more senior players guide and support new and younger squad members as they transition into the top level of the sport.

Excited for what’s to come!

A little sneak peek behind the scenes of the filming of my Foundation Ground and Ridden Program this week.
I last filmed my whole program nearly ten years ago, so it’s time for a refresh for our Your Horsemanship Members!
I really couldn't have picked a better week weather-wise, or a better horse in young Romeo. He is rising 4yo by Glamourdale out of a UFO mare that I own with a friend... we think he's going to be a star 🤩
I'm really excited about this whole process. It has taken 25 years for me to get to a place where I am completely comfortable with what I do (although I am always learning and tweaking!). So, if nothing else, this provides me with an opportunity to leave my methods, ideas, techniques and exercises that have evolved over 25 years of starting and retraining horses "out there"!

🌟 Star of the Week! Tassie for overcoming her warm up arena worries!🌟

We've been working hard to solve this stunning mare's warm-up arena issues, and today marks a huge milestone as we have our handover sessions with her owner! 🐴💫

From not wanting to even step into an arena with another horse, to now confidently working in and around her equine friends, Tassie has made incredible progress! 💪🎉

Our step-by-step desensitisation program has helped her overcome her fear of other horses coming towards, behind and upsides her, and now Caroline is equipped with the tools and techniques to take Tassie into different environments as they work their way back to competing. 🏆

Best of all, we have a FULL LENGTH VIDEO of our training process to solve these issues winging it's way to our Your Horsemanship members next week. To view this, Jason's foundation program, large Problem Solving Library and much more, do check out our online membership www.yourhorsemanship.com.

Very proud of how far these two have come!
