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!

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 🙏 💖🐎❄️

Little video of after our talk at Westons Cider in November with Richard Kington, saddler and harness maker. Lovely that our guests can get up close and personal with our shires afterwards and have a chat 😊 Next talk is on the 14th of January with Kevin and Alison Morris of Warwick Shire Horse Carriages. See my previous post for details 🐎
Chilly hay duties ❄️🛷

What a privilege to attend this workshop with Kevin Morris of Warwickshire Shire Horse Carriages 👏
Why do you sometimes see me doing 'silly things' with horses? This here is a yearling shire colt who is going to be a commercial horse one day, doing weddings, dray rides, and various public facing roles. He MUST be 100% safe, confident, and happy in all aspects of his life within our human world. Making sure he is unphased by a plastic feed bag may seem a bit daft, but this ensures that he will now never see flappy or rustly objects as a threat, and therefore help him to be a safe and happy worker. Please note: this colt has been well and truly handled and desensitised with his legs and feet before even attempting this. Dominic and I are also both equine professionals, so please don't go in all guns blazing with bags on your youngsters hind legs! If you would like some guidance in this type of 'bombproofing', please get in touch 😊 Thunderbrook horse feeds don't only just make incredible feeds- their bags also come in so handy for training 😂

🌟THE IMPORTANCE OF TRAINING VS RELYING ON EQUIPMENT🌟 When I start a horse, no matter the breed, age, temperament etc, I start bitless. EVERY horse. I make sure they know all basic aids and voice commands from the ground perfectly before I even think of introducing a bit into the equation. Why do I do this? Because the bit is only ever there as a communication extension. Horses are not born with a set of brakes in the mouth. If you find yourself with a horse who is needing harsher and harsher bits just to be able to go for a ride, take a step back and go back to your training. Your horse will thank you immensely for it. Believe me, they really do not want to feel high levels of pressure on the sensitive tissues of their mouths, and if they seriously wanted to go, then the application of oral discomfort is only going to make them fight you even harder. Here in the video we have 7 year old shire mare, Emily-Jane. Last Friday she had a wolf tooth removed so she cannot take a bit for 2 weeks minimum. However that's not a problem for us, we can still keep up our work in the dually 😊 For me, being able to ride your horse bitless OR bitted is an essential piece of their learning. You never know when it's going to get you out of a pinch
Take us home then, Peg
Some lovely trot and canter work here from young shire mare, Emily-Jane She is learning to balance herself in canter and find a comfortable rhythm which is difficult when you have such a big body, but as you can see here she is using herself beautifully and we should soon have this same quality under saddle Turn the volume up and listen to the very end 😂🤣
Thank you to everyone at the Bromyard Gala who showed such support and interest in the Westons shires. Was lovely to meet people who came to say hello and ask fantastic questions about heavy horses and the dray 😊
Emily-Jane enjoying learning to trot with me on her back 😄
