First time with the flag for fury.
First time with the flag for Fury, hes more of a sensitive chap so we where really pleased with him.
Canter transitions 😍
3 year old connemara, with the most effortless canter transitions 😍 as nice as the weather and view.
Fury having a go at some alternative stuff.
So once basics are established which varies on each horse. We introduce other things as and when the horse is ready. This garrocha type excercise is good for weight displacement, desensitising and to see if the basics with moving off leg and steering are there. Here is fury working it out and listening to Jakes questions.
Sliabhan Aonaigh (fury) lunged over a couple of small jumps this morning showing us what a fabulous shape and pop he has.
He is 3 rising 4 and currently 14.3hh for those interested. Class competitive pony for the future ⭐️.

Here are some snips of todays session with our connie 3 year old that we have called ‘Fury’. We are now walking, trotting, cantering independently both ways and standing well to be mounted and dismounted from the ground. This is around 7 ridden sessions. We are really looking forward to seeing him blossom over winter, he will be a lovely exciting 4 year old to get out and about.
Fox helping with the muck spreading before he went to his new home.
We are so lucky here to be able to show horses all kinds of things and experiences to make them as well rounded as possible 🌟
Zeus went home last week after his 3 week stay with us to be backed and ridden away. He was very good and lots of fun, his owner Catlin has since been out hacking this weekend and had a super time. Jakes off filming for a couple of weeks then we will be having some new faces in.
This is him with us after his usual afternoon out. Keep up the good work you lovely big chap.
3 year old fox out on his own, meeting some big tractors for the first time. Giving him space and reassurance is so important on these first few experiences. (Its not even warm and the flies are a menace this summer!)
Rainy afternoon and the trailer was on so why not use it. Fox obviously came over from ireland so has travelled, we haven’t loaded him here yet so here is his first attempt loading. He is as expected easy peasy. Always nice to know your not going to have an issue loading. If you do have issues its best to practice and get that sorted as no one needs the stress of a bad loader. Fail to prepare, prepare to fail.
FOX! Our stunning 3 year old connemara gelding. A not very interesting reel of how we like our 3 years olds to be. Quiet, patient and happy. Fox has been with us 6 months and we know him very well. There are many videos of him on our page, this shows him being tacked up and mounted. He is such a genuine horse, perhaps we should keep him 🤔 imagine him at 4 and 5 years old! His sort are very hard to find.
The wonderful Thor went home this morning after 4 weeks with us. Look at his lovely smooth canter transition. Hes been a delight! We have a couple more departures this week as Jakes off filming for a couple of weeks.
Fant learning relaxing and stretching. His owner is coming to see him tomorrow and hes off home next week. 😊
Fox our fabulous 3 year old connie meeting the flag.
3 year old Fox meeting some traffic this evening. So genuine, on his own and taking the world in.
This is the wonderful Thor, hes at the end of his 3rd week here. First time with a flag, being ridden in one hand and taking it all in his stride, he’s listening to seat and leg and has been an absolute delight to do. This is a great stage where Jake has got the basics there and starts introducing the other stuff! This varies horse to horse, Thor has been a lovely straightforward lad with no previous issues to work through so progress has been great. What a super youngster.
This is Zeus, hes here to be backed. Super big 3 year old Belgium Draft horse. Such a lovely selection of horses we get in, his head is testing out our biggest bridle.
