We were delighted to see another Try a Horse assessor feature at the hard work and dedication to compete at this level is exceptional and another reason why we are proud of our assessor network - where experience and knowledge is second nature and extends across the disciplines.

Here’s Aimee Dovey Equestrian Coach ‘s story 😍 “Coming from a showjumping background I didnt expect to be showing a cob at LIHS
I bought mollie as a 6 year old to hack after having 2 children and to have something to ride whilst running the livery yard and teaching but she had a super engine and a fantastic trainable attitude with so much to give, so I carefully produced her over the last few years mainly in dressage and a bit of clean boot hunting and decided to have a go at some qualifiers more to see how we would do and I was so delighted to qualify in September!
The journey to get there wasn’t very easy as a week later I broke my hand getting on a horse so had to get my husband and friends to hack her to keep her ticking over for me!
It was the most fantastic experience and I thought I would be going to help give her an experience but she ended up giving me the experience and was such a pro.
I am a strong believer if you can partner with the right horse anything is possible 🤩

Super proud of these guys
They put so much hard work into their horses and after each session go away and do the homework 💪💪

2 shows in one week for me with some good results
Mollies first Novice with a rosette at prelim and Novice and a placing at Ellingham Show. I don’t usually go showing but it’s great experience for her and believe exposure is so important for young horses.

I’m super proud considering I bought her to Hack and hunt a horse with a good brain is everything to me as they are so trainable.

Number 1 hits home for me 😂

Funniest thing I’ve seen on Facebook in a long time 😂😂 Wish I could give the author credit but have no idea who wrote it.

THE REAL RULES OF DRESSAGE

1. If you really want to get better at dressage, take it up at an earlier age - and grow an extra 3 inches of leg.

2. A dressage test is a test of your skill against another competitor's luck.

3. Dressage is about achieving a harmonious working relationship with your horse, whose only idea of harmony is eating grass in a field with his buddies.

4. If you want to end a drought or dry spell, wear a new jacket and hat to an outdoor arena.

5. Untalented, difficult, aggressive horses have robust health, good hocks and long lives.

6. Talented tractable horses are accident prone and have OCD lesions.

7. You will ride the best test of your entire life just prior to being disqualified for not wearing your gloves.

8. Never keep more than 300 separate thoughts in your head before a test.

9. Never keep less than another 300 separate thoughts in your head during a test.

10. Horses do not improve their paces because you are wearing expensive German breeches.

11. If you chose a disco theme for your dressage to music test then the judge will be more than 90 years of age and Swiss.

12. The less skilled the rider, the more likely they are to share their critique of your test.

13. If you are considering the services of a horse clairvoyant to help you with training then you have reached the point of total desperation - try the German breeches.

14.Your horse has never heard of Podhajsky, let alone read the book.

15. No matter how badly you ride a test, it is always possible to ride a worse one.

16. If it ain't broke, try shifting your position and it will be.

17. Judges only suffer from temporary blindness (or kindness) when they are judging someone else's test.

18. If you fall off your horse in the arena you will have paid to have the test videoed.

19. If you are feeling confident before a show then three of the USET dressage team will turn up to give their young horses some "experience."

20. Your horse will perform its best piaffe ever when you ask for extended canter.

22. Since runs of bad competitions come in groups of three, the fourth competition is actually the beginning of the next group of three.

23. No one cheats at dressage because no one has worked out how to do it.

24. It is surprisingly easy to end a test with a perfect square halt once you have scored a four for every other movement.

25. The result of an expensive lesson from a top pro is that you will stop believing in that tiny piece of innate ability that was holding your riding together.

26. Remember when buying a dressage horse advertised as "needs experienced competitive rider" this really means "needs the skills of Isabelle Werth just to stay on board."

27. If you think your test was better than someone else's, it probably wasn't.

28. If you pay 60,000 for an imported WB, you will be beaten in First Level 4 by a Quarter Horse.

29. Clinics given by someone with an interesting accent are not necessarily superior to those given by the homegirl.

30. If you go to the expense of raising an expensive WB foal, he will have a talent for jumping and no walk worth talking about.

Sadly Blue is looking for his person
I can’t give him the time around the kids and buisness and being out of action most of the summer - he really is the kindest boy
