Finally it’s just about dry enough to get the horses out overnight and the boys into their summer paddocks 😃🎉🙌🏻

Today, we have all (horses and people alike) breathed a huge sigh of relief. When I saw them lying down in the sunshine today I almost shed a tear. This winter has tested me beyond breaking point and I am a physical and emotional wreck! It has not just been a struggle for us, but for the horses too and it was such a joy to see them relaxing knowing we have made it and better days are to come 😊

Let’s hope this summer is better than the last and to everyone that has made it through the winter - congratulations! 🥳 👏🏅

Whilst we were away at Thoresby, Pea Pod appeared in the Horse and Hound following his win at Lincoln 🤩🎉

I first met Pea Pod as an unbroken four year old, he was clearly a super young horse but I opted for five year old that was further on his education having suddenly lost the mare that I was competing. When that horse (Bert) sustained a serious injury that necessitated over a year off, I rang Pea Pod’s owner Jo Fox and asked if she still had him and we’ve never looked back.

Pea Pod is my absolute hero. As they say, the best horses are those that want to do it and Pea Pod has all the heart and will in the world and he thoroughly deserves his moment in the limelight 👑🦄🏆

It is the eve of our first event of 2024! It’s been a very long wet winter and still feels that way but this is what we do it for and it’s exciting to get back to it! Despite travelling endless miles up and down the A1 for top level coaching and training facilities all winter, the boys have still yet to jump a fence on grass since their last competitive run in October. So tomorrow will very much be a test event for us to see how they feel and get those precious legs used to a very unfamiliar thing in this neck of the woods currently… Grass!

We travel today and our destination is Lincoln. Good luck boys 🐎 🍀

Super proud to say that Cruise has qualified for the British Open Championships 2024 👏🎉

As with any sporting Open, this is the pinnacle of eventing and headlined by the most successful horse and rider combinations in the world!

This news, at the end of a really difficult couple of weeks actually brought a tear to my eye!

I previously competed at the Championships, held at Gatcombe Park, in 2002 with ‘Walter’. He was another very special horse and I kept a photo diary of his best achievements, see pictures below.

Now, 22 years later, Cruise is keeping the dream alive 🦄😍

We just need the weather to dry up and the season to get underway! ☀️🤞🏻

Showjumping for eventers is a necessary evil, so instead of watching the Australian Open Men’s singles final in front of the fire today, we packed off to Alnwick Ford with the boys to take a temperature check on our winter training to date.

Boys felt fab with a rail each in their warm up classes and a clear for Cruise and one down for Pea Pod in the 1.20.

Plenty to work on but happy with where we’re at and the boys were good and keen. 🦄🦄🤩

SOLD Jeffries Falcon Hawk Event Saddle 17inch

English leather, made in Walsall by Jefferies. This make and model is widely considered as one of the best general-purpose saddles in the world.

Came to me secondhand, so I am unsure of its exact age but it is in very good condition. It needs just one tiny repair where the stirrup leather keeper has come away at one end, this will require just a couple of stitches.

It is probably a medium/narrow fit having come off a high withered thoroughbred.

£250 Elsdon 07714343695

Stirrup, leathers and stirrups available if required at a small extra cost.

🐴For loan🐴

Very sensible and easy 16h approx, 22 year old TB gelding.

We have had Boysie for three years now. He was part of our riding school before it closed where he was used for flat & jump lessons and trekking. He has previously been in a private home where he has given confidence to a novice rider and most recently here has been leased to beginners who have enjoyed riding in the arena and hacking out.

Boysie is an older boy but has no specific special needs. He has lived out 24/7 all year round but would only winter out on very good grazing with supplemental feed. He is happy in a stable also.

He would suit somebody wanting to hack quietly and would also do some gentle arena work. He has previously evented to Novice level so knows his stuff!!

He can move yards locally or continue to be kept here on a livery basis.

Currently near Otterburn/Elsdon

People that do things like this, clearly do not understand what it is like to run your own small, independent business, to break your neck day-in-day-out to do everything right, provide the best possible service and keep your clients happy.

It is so damaging to a small business to leave a one star review, for what in this case is absolutely no reason whatsoever. This lady rang and asked for the riding school and I simply said it’s closed and gave her an alternative option locally. The riding school no longer has a website and our page clearly states that we only teach people that have their own horses. It is surely not the end of the world in this day and age to phone a small business to find out that it’s closed or has diversified to alternative services.

I hope this review reflects more on the lady that posted it, then it does on us 🙁

It’s been five weeks since our last event of the season and it already feels like a lifetime ago! The boys have had three weeks holiday and two weeks of happy (soggy) hacking and now it’s time to come in and get cracking with winter training 💪🏻

Also time look back at some of the lovely pictures of my dream-makers from this season to keep motivated through what is surely going to be a loooong winter 🥶 ☔️ ⛄️

Here’s Cruise tackling his first Advanced at Allerton Park this autumn and making it all feel very jumpable (it didn’t look it! 😨) 🦄💕

Just what’s needed on a miserable day like today! Thank you Mace for this picture of Pea Pod at Allerton Park🦄🤩

Pleased to report the new rehabilitation centre is coming along nicely. Overnight we installed both the aqua lane and hydrotherapy turnout pen. We also thought we’d do something for ourselves…. hence the drive through car wash! 💦 💦💦

Hope everyone is keeping safe. Time for Babet to bob off now I think.

I don’t think Boo will be the only one to enjoy our new staff and client lounge this winter!

I’ve been wanting to do this for a while and I’m really pleased with the outcome - it’s complete with huge snuggly sofas, Netflix, fridge, microwave and (if summer ever comes round again) decking which overlooks the arena and paddocks 👌🏻

We’ll be looking for another pair of hands for the winter shortly so if you fancy joining the team, get in touch 😀

Monumental moment today with Cruise completing his first Advanced and my first for exactly 20 years. So proud and privileged to ride such an amazing horse, making all my dreams come true 🐎😍

Pea Pod also being a superstar (again) in the Novice, another horse of a lifetime taking me back up through the levels and giving me the confidence stepping stone to take Cruise to the top🦄❤️

🏅Cruise - 10th 🎉👏🥂
🏅Pea Pod - 6th 🎉👏🥂

❤️❤️ Love my boys ❤️❤️
