Don't mind my tail ribbon coming undone, think the trotting up jiggled it loose 😂
First ever outing, all on his own, 19 month old c**t, 14 horses in his class and we got a 5th! Couldn't be prouder, and what a fab experience for this lovely horse.
Walked and trotted up straight as anything with manners to burn despite being excited!
Good boy, Buzz 💙💛

Oh what a handsome grey man 😍

That's a wrap for today. All the prep we can think of is done, now to psych myself up for a 3am alarm 😂
See you bright and early at Hereford Spring Show 🐴

A big, BIG thank you to Kevin and Alison Morris for their fabulous evening at the Westons Cider Shire stables this Saturday.
Everyone thoroughly enjoyed it and came away having learned lots about the world of heavy horses.
Thank you also to those of you who braved the cold to join us, we hope to see you again very soon!
I will leave you with a picture of the star of the show, 'Moppy' who we all got to practice shire plaiting on 😄

Probably the trickiest thing you can ever ask a yearling c**t to do... stand still 😂
As Buzz is going to be a commercial driving horse, it is imperative he stands still when asked. It's best to instill all these things as early as possible so it just becomes a part of his daily life.
I think he did pretty well considering!
Mind the raindrops on the camera 💦

All is quiet and peaceful on the yard this Christmas Eve- ideal for loading practice!

A little away from the boys at the factory, Westons has some other interesting projects with the shires.
Here there is a yearling c**t, set to be the next big star of the cider mill and the show ring, and two privately owned mares who hopefully will be producing foals to secure the future of the Westons Shires.
Loading practice is important for these guys as the mares need to be comfortable loading and travelling to go off to stud, and the c**t will be spending a lot of his time travelling about during his working career 😄

Dear clients and friends,

Unfortunately I bring some sad news. I am afraid that in the new year, I will no longer be travelling out to clients. Currently I am not meeting all the needs required of me in a healthy and efficient way, so for now, it is a fond farewell to travelling out for sessions.
As always, I will still be here to answer any questions or give any advice you may be seeking, so please do not hesitate to get in touch.
This page will remain running to share the journey of my horses and the Westons Shires, and so I am still available for people to contact if they need to.

I would like to say an ENORMOUS thank you to all of you who have chosen me to come to your homes and work with your horses over the years. It has been a tremendous honour to be allowed into your lives and to be trusted with something so very precious to you.
I wish you all a very Merry Christmas, and I hope we remain in touch 🙏 💖🐎❄️
