I hope everyone enjoys watching my freestyle as much as I did riding it today!!!
Very proud of fly today finishing 4th in the Intermediate 1 freestyle class at the BD winter National championships on 72.83%, so close to the top which is very exciting!!
Looking forwards to the rest of the season now and of course I have to mention @lizrawlingson for being the most supportive and encouraging owner, I know how very lucky I am to have her by my side in the good times and bad , we both know how great this horse is going to be!!
Obviously I can't forget to also mention Carol Parsons who has also been top trainer as usual and again support crew!!
One last nod to everyone else in the background who keeps myself and Fly on the road, it's an effort I can assure you! Days like this make it all worth it I'm sure 😅
A few quieter days and then we're off to @addingtonequestrian for the premier League which we can't wait for 😁👏🐎🥳

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly 😅
It was all going so well until this little whoopsie!!
Unfortunately Leo didn't quite like a taking to the wall , however it was too late for him to pull out hence the demolishing of the flag!! Luckily I managed to stay on but I was dressed from head to toe in my new safety gear from @unicornsaddlery A lovely store to go too with lots of options to try on. 🙂
Fortunately he wasn't at all bothered and carried on beautifully till the end. Very lucky the flag gave way as it could've been a little more serious..
Bit this hasn't put us off cross country. I look forward to doing it again in the late summer.
Thankyou to team @eccliffe_equestrian for helping us get there and supporting us with this adventure 😊

Long time , No post!!
It's been a busy few months with a variety of clients lovely horses in for backing and schooling, Time that I've been taking to focus on them.
However competition season has certainly started. Fly has been back in action. With the winter regionals which were fairly succeful , unfortunately just missing out on qualifying for the winter championships.
However we've pushed on with his condoning and strengthening , And last week we went to Wellington to attempt our first Inter 1, which went very well with a 71+% 😁🐎😍
A very confidence giving round which we both enjoyed from the second we went down the centre line, making me very excited to be heading back out to another show very soon.
Of course I couldn't do it without the support of everyone involved, Thankyou!

A little video to show Leo's progress and share the journey with everyone!!
He has only been in the arena now a handful of times, So not expecting anything perfect just to walk, trot, canter and to behave would be a big bonus😅
Very proud of how he's coping with it all so far. 🤞🦄🎉🥂

An exciting day out for myself, @lizrawlingson and even trainer Carol Parsons was allowed to come along too!!
The weather didn't dampen our spirits as we took Dragonfly VCG out to his first show since 2019, Due to health issues.
I was incredibly proud to be sat on fly and very happy to be back on the road competing which he absolutely loves!!
This day has been a long time coming and we only touched the surface today of what we know he can achieve when he relaxes a little more, But I'm never going to complain when I have a horse that loves his job and keeps offering me more than ever needed.
We had a 66+% and a 2nd in the Advanced medium 85 with a few big blips and then an overall win in the advanced medium 92 with 68+% Again with a few mistakes, YES I forgot my test so got a -2, sack the rider moment 😅 ( Video of Adm 92)
We've still got a long way to go with continuing his strength and conditioning but wow I am excited for owner Liz and of course Fly.
A massive thank you to everyone involved in this special horse, We all know how much effort has been put into this horse and to me, this is the definition of teamwork!!

Ran out of space in my last post and haven't mentioned the team that help me do this job that I love!!
Obviously without @lizrawlingson
(Owner) and overall organiser of pretty much the whole operation 😅 We wouldn't be doing these shows at all. A fantastic owner I am lucky to have by my side everyday to enjoy the ups and downs!
The Home team, Trainer Carol and the guys who do my yard when we're away. Thanks to Harriet and @lisa.hoskins.397.
And the team who make us feel great to go to these shows, I feel lucky to be able to represent as well.

Stepping up the gears now, prepping ready for the competition days to return.
Sunny is feeling fabulous at the moment and may I say so myself his condition is fantastic!! Thanks to @baileyshorsefeeds @holly.baileyshorsefeeds , Who knows if it is the Ease&Excel cubes....
I've had a lovely few sessions on him. yesterday working predominantly on the canter work, I was focusing on the half pass, starting off using the entire diagonal, keeping the quality of the canter and suppleness throughout, When I felt he was ready I then progressed onto the Int 2 line with the pirouette included.
Similarly making sure my canter and half pass down and onto the centre line were good enough to pop in the pirouette.
Something we have to work on as it's a short line and we tend to lose our fluency going across.
As it's not long now till we begin competing, I thought it would be a good idea to ride some of the test lines to see where we're at in training. A few more weeks of strengthening and then onto test riding!!
On another note is any else excited to get back out competing?? 😁😆
Getting stronger all the time. Sunny learning how to take the weight behind in the piaffe , Something that has been in working progress for a while. Feeling happy that he has his @fenlandzhealth
Epiitalis Gel everyday to support his body in this work.
Also trying to keep the positivity within the training of the horse's whilst in lockdown and looking forwards to our first show of the year, whenever that may be....
