Sorry I haven’t posted recently, but here is a quick update !!

All is going well, very busy and all our horses are developing and learning everyday.

Ernie & Coal enjoyed their holiday livery with us and have now gone home. Ernie was well behaved to ride , so I am glad he has remembered all his training!

We welcome Athos back, for rebacking and sales preparation. Keep your eyes peeled for this one , he is a proper performance horse and has the sweetest temperament. He is now riding under saddle and of course loves every minute of it!

Narla has been sold, good luck in your new home 🥰

Dune is riding away smoothly and now starting to develop his contact and sharpen his canter transitions. He has been an absolute delight to work with, very straight forward and intelligent.

Blue has also been amazing!! Schooling really well and hacking out boldly. He has been enjoying various types of work and it’s been really nice to coach his owner alongside so they can ride together in harmony. I am looking forward to seeing them progress together.

We also welcome these two sweethearts Melon and Dominic, on temporary grass livery for a few weeks. They are happy stuffing their faces full with grass 🐷

Sapphire has also come on our training livery package. She is working on her fitness and hopefully will be progressing to start her jump training by the end of the month 💪

All our other liveries are enjoying hacking, longreining and even having a jump on our new course in the paddock !!

Such a rewarding start to the week and what a fun weekend we all had …

Here’s a little update on our training liveries;

-Narla, is progressing really well, behaving and all four feet are staying firmly on the floor as she builds her confidence back up. She is going to be such a talented horse in time. Narla is looking for a new home, if anyone is interested in a quality project , DM me.

-Dune, the golden boy… is living up to his name.!Riding like a dream, hacking out alone like he has done it for years … a few dramatic spooks here and there, but nothing you wouldn’t expect from a baby. Dune and his owner even had their first rides together over the weekend. He will be one to watch for sure !

-Bluebelle, has found a new home and even better she will be staying here at our yard ❤️

**Everyone meet our newest training livery **
Blue, 14.3hh blue & white coblet! Blue is here for confidence training out hacking and to learn how to go correctly in the school. Blue is already hacking out alone, with no spooks and starting to lighten up in the hand in the arena. I can’t wait to work with the owner and Blue so they can grow in confidence together💪

Tomorrow, I will let you all know who the returning training livery is… let’s just say it’s my favourite GINGER 🥰

Also…at the weekend, we welcome back ERNIE & his best friend Coal for holiday grass livery but we will be taking Ernie for a spin over some fences and up the gallops 🐎 💨

What an exciting week we have to come … Plus working all the full liveries and taking Iona cross country training …

Work hard, play hard 🔥❤️

18/07/2024

The golden boy Dune, starting to work very well after just 5 weeks of being backed. 💪 🔥

🌟What a superstar he will be ! 🌟

17/07/2024

Starting the week off strong 💪

Stay tuned for a new training livery tomorrow, an old face returning Sunday and our favourite little pony coming on holiday livery with his best friend next weekend ❤️

I love my job … who doesn’t want to be surrounded by horses every day ?!!

Another fun filled week…
Lots of pole work, schooling , a farrier visit, coaching and group rides !!

Take a peak at our photos and see if you can find some of your favourite liveries ! 🥰

03/07/2024

Kick starting the week with some late night hacks, a farrier visit and some cheeky antics from some fresh horses.

As promised … an update on our current training liveries …

Dune - The golden boy is doing amazing ! Riding away like a dream. Hacking out alone and in company. He started his trot work a few days ago and absolutely bossing it !

Narla - Naughty Narla has finally shown us a few rodeo moves and some rears. Working with her the day after her explosion, we have found the cause and possible reason for her tension and misbehaviour. It’s so important to listen to them, analyse their thought process and carefully watch their behaviour when you ask them to do anything. If you listen, they will talk…
I am hoping the next few weeks, she will regain her confidence and feel happier under saddle. 🤞

Ernie- Little Ernie has returned home!! He has completed a tailored training plan to get him out of his naughty behaviours, which involved bronking, napping, head dropping , throwing his riders, turning in/kicking out on the lunge, being reluctant to canter and travel forward. After a week, we had Ernie sussed and tactfully worked our magic. It’s been a pleasure to teach his little rider alongside with regular lessons to help build their confidence together. Keep up the good work and we look forward to cheering you both on at the sidelines as you win your showjumping classes 💪 🔥 🏅

We also took a sneaky trip to Holkham last Thursday . A long drive but so worth it!!! Surprisingly it was my first time taking a horse on the beach and wow, what an experience! Both Murphy & Blue were impeccably behaved, the weather was perfect and we all had a fantastic time! Can’t wait to organise some trips for the liveries there 😃

As usual, I have also been working hard coaching and training our full liveries too. The last few weeks, I have been working on their fitness as the summer grass has made them a little porky 🐷 🙈 but they are all riding very well !!

Tomorrow… Iona has her first XC clinic, so everyone please pray for me 😂 🙏 👀
I guarantee I will have some funny photos to post tomorrow, so stay tuned !!!

ALSO, we have a FULL LIVERY space available and we are open to take TRAINING LIVERIES from the end of JULY. Please PM for the best service and unbeatable price .

Last week was all about enjoying the sunshine, snoozing horses and a beach ride to Holkham!! 🥰 ☀️

I will post all about our adventures in depth tomorrow and how our training liveries are getting on 💪

28/06/2024

…A little snippet of what we got up to yesterday 👀 🏇 💨 🏖️ ☀️

20/06/2024

Another gorgeous productive day in the sunshine!!

But let me tell you all about the new training liveries …

Everyone meet 4yo Palomino AES Dune !! Stunning, tall and has such a beautiful attitude to life ! He is here to be broken and ridden away. Less than a week, he has already taken a rider and had his first little walks around the barn. He is taking to it all so well and I have a little feeling this horse is going to be something special 💎 🥰

Everyone also meet 4yo Welshie Narla! A chunky girl with a little attitude to match 🔥 💁‍♀️. Narla is here on behavioural training for us to work with a few issues that have cropped up under saddle. Third ride in, no tantrums or miscommunication yet, so I hope it stays that way. She is really starting to learn to take confidence from the rider and tackle her challenges in the right manner. Narla enjoyed her first group hack this morning and she was faultless! I am so excited to be working with her and look forward to seeing her develop further.

Our other behavioural training little Ernie, has just been super! He has spent this week cantering out and even had a gallop. He has enjoyed it so much, he has now found the need for speed 😂 🏇 it’s so lovely to be working with his little rider and seeing her smile as they canter around without any fear of Ernie throwing in some gymnastics . Keep up the good work guys 💪

All our resident liveries are also enjoying group rides in the sunshine, working in the jump paddock , making the most of the luscious long grass and… most importantly they are all relaxed and happy !

☀️

19/06/2024

It’s only Wednesday…

But what a few amazing days to kick start the week!!
I will do a detailed post tomorrow about all the fun I have had! I absolutely love my job ❤️

Ft Narla looking as beautiful as ever 😂

10/06/2024

…Something just makes me super happy when we move all the horses onto new grass 😃

Happy, content and full tummies 🐷 ❤️

02/06/2024

What a beautiful day ☀️ 😎

The best weekend I have in a long time !!
Group hacks, lessons and moving all the fields so everyone has yummy fresh grass!

We waved goodbye to George last week. He is fully broken and riding away like a little pro. He is now going to learn how to drive… what a smart stallion! Good luck Tali 🥰

We have cracked cheeky little Ernie! No more bronking, bucking or throwing his rider. A very clever character but it’s been so rewarding this week to coach his little jockey alongside to get them on the same page! A full jump course in the paddock today and they both smashed it! Can’t wait to continue with that this week 💪 Accomplishing tasks like this, really make me appreciate my job and how much I love what I do… there is nothing better than seeing a miscommunication form into a dynamic duo with smiling faces all around 🔥

We also had to say goodbye to our little Minty Moo as we had no riders/sharers for her and I needed to reduce my number of horses. She has returned home after being with us for 9 years… what’s fantastic pony, who has taught everyone so much! She is going to be loved and ridden by a teenager who will do some PC tetrathlon , which they will do amazing and Minty will love. Good luck and I can’t thank the Blakes enough for trusting us with such a legend of a mardy mare 😂 ❤️ 👺

All the ridden liveries have had a great time working hard in the jump paddock, working on using all the space we have to correct flatwork weaknesses.

The following weekend is super exciting … as we welcome TWO new training liveries! One breaker and behavioural … let’s get cracking 💪 💯

Stay tuned to hear all about them…

We are taking BOOKINGS for FULL, TRAINING & BEHAVIOURAL for middle/end of JULY. Please DM for details .

23/05/2024

So the mares are feeling fruity 🙈…
Luna, Iona & Loco cutting some shapes 💃 💁‍♀️ 👸 😂

22/05/2024

Happy 6th Birthday Iona ❤️ 🎂
Mature enough now to let the big girl work commence 💪

21/05/2024

I AM BACK!!!

Finally my phone has been fixed , sorry for the inconvenience and lack of communication, I am currently replying to all the messages and dates for training asap.

Last week was manic but very beneficial to all our horses. We had our annual dentist visit with the lovely Hannah Breen Equine Dental-Technician and our farrier Luke Reynolds making sure all their hooves are balanced and trimmed/shod routinely. Happy comfortable horses!

Bluebelle is sold subject to vetting 🤞
Ernie is becoming more confident in canter and learning to keep his feet on the floor, rather than adding his own freestyle moves 🙈! Cheeky pony but a lot of fun!

I am now taking bookings for the beginning of July for FULL livery and training/breaking livery. So feel free to enquire 🥰

I am looking forward to a fun week of jumping in the paddock and cross country training 💪

16/05/2024

Currently having problems with my phone which should be solved in 1-3 days, sorry for the slow replies but I will get back to you all. Call me on 07720632942 if urgent.

13/05/2024

It’s starting to feel like summer…. 🎉☀️

We made the most of the weather… all the horses have had a nice week of hacking! Long and low stretchy rides, to allow them to relax and not get too hot with the increasing temperature. Welfare over workload.

Sadly, as some of you may know… but we have decided to retire Joe and Peri. They will happily retire with Joe’s owner and breeder locally so they will want for nothing. Get fat boys…you owe us nothing! I can’t be thankful enough to Gillian & Mrs Ray for giving me such a opportunity to have such quality and fantastic horses for all these years.

We have started to back Loco and I can’t wait to share her future career with you all. George is doing really well too, backed , riding away in all paces and really enjoying his hacking.

We welcome the cutest pony in for behavioural training !! Everyone meet Ernie!! Follow this cheeky chaps journey to turn him into a well behaved superstar for his little jockey 💪 🥰

I am getting booked up but we still have FULL livery available and a few TRAINING SPOTS open. Feel free to enquire .

Have a good week 😃

06/05/2024

Last week was all about field management, hacking in the sunshine and setting up the jump paddock!!

All our horses are living their best lives pigging out on new grass and soaking up the sunshine 😎 ☀️

It’s starting to finally feel like summer…

Our SALES livery will go live tomorrrow so please keep an eye out for that! If anyone wants a placid happy hacker, she will be perfect !!!

We also have a space for two FULL liveries, so please enquire for the best care, the best services and the best price around 💪 ❤️

27/04/2024

This week was super productive !!!

We have started our improvements, put up new fencing, a fresh coat of paint on the stable doors, jumping paddock prepared, the yard weeded and tidied . It’s all looking good and we can’t wait to get everything looking tip top for the summer ☀️

All our liveries are riding well and really enjoyed their back treatments yesterday!! A well earned rest day for them today and ready to crack on tomorrow 🥰

❤️

23/04/2024

A quiet week riding wise which means we have had time to start our facility improvements!! This includes new fencing, then flattening the walk ways ready for plainings and a quick repaint of the stables 💪. Work hard, stay focussed and reap the rewards ❤️

We will make the most of this week as next week we welcome three new arrivals !!! 🥰 🤩 Stay tuned!!!

Thank you to everyone for my great reviews this week 🥰 🙏 . We are taking bookings for the summer for TRAINING & FULL LIVERY so please enquire for the best care and the best prices .

Tomorrow, we also wave goodbye to Dolly! She has finished her behavioural training with us and has been foot perfect the last few weeks. No more silly spooks, rears or avoidance behaviours .Dolly’s owner has gained so much confidence with her now, she’s even started to jump again!! Well done guys 💪

🐣HAPPY EASTER!🐣

Wow…what a crazy, fun and productive week !!

Our breakers are riding really well, Iona & Lexie had their first hunter trial pairs at Tetworth, a farrier visit , loads of coaching with all my lovely clients and a 4th place for Murphy in the Open 💪 🔥

I am blessed to have such a rewarding job! Seeing all our horses bloom and our clients smiling makes all our hard work worth it 🥰

Now… where is Spring?!!! 👀

🐰

22/03/2024

This week has been all fun and games, so much so, that we forgot to take photos ! 🙈

However a productive week so far, all our breakers are backed and riding away very well!
Our behavioural livery has also been foot perfect 👌

We even found time to take our youngsters to Ely Eventing Centre to prep them for their first competition this Sunday 🤞 🙏

Check out some sneaky pictures from last week!!

Loose jumping ,Thetford Forest ride with Lexie & Iona, lots of hacking and avoiding the rain 🙈 ☔️

04/03/2024

We were hoping for a dry spell last week but unfortunately more rain, but we managed to have a really fun and productive week! Hopefully this week will bless us with some sunshine and drier weather …please!!🤞 🙏

Last week composed of core strengthening sessions building weak topline spots on some horses, lateral schooling, chilled hacking and we even managed a cheeky jump! Look who is back jumping in the photos😉 🔥 💪

Blade is riding away nicely! He is getting more confident with new environments and how to handle his little worries. We even started his road work to expose him to traffic and he has just been perfect. This week we will focus on some schooling and more exposure work.

George has been lightly backed and had his first full weighted rider on him yesterday. No problems. He has also learned how to long rein. He is such a character and I know his journey is going to be a fun one !

We also welcome our newest girl on the block, the beautiful Dolly. This little Connemara is here for some behavioural and exposure training. We had our first ride on her yesterday out hacking and so far she has been perfect … let’s see what this week brings 🥰 💪

Also, we are counting down the weeks to go team chasing !!! YAAAY! Murphy is so excited (nearly as excited as me!!) 😂 🔥

24/02/2024

What a challenging week with the weather! Rain, more rain and even more rain ☔️ 😭

We have managed to keep all the horses in work and they even had a few duvet days! They have really enjoyed relaxing and eating the “all you can eat” private hay buffet in the warmth of their stables 🥰

Chai has finished her rehabilitation here and has returned home! We wish you all the best and let’s hope she makes a full return to work so you can enjoy some lovely long hacks together again.

Blade has really come into his own this week. He is starting to really take confidence from his rider and start to really understand all the aids under saddle. He even managed to have his first hack yesterday ! Such a sweet man!

Today, We introduce you to the handsome hunk George. Stay tuned to watch this top quality stallion start his ridden career. 💪 🔥

11/02/2024

📸 ☔️

What a muddy and wet week we have had… but did that stop us training … Of course not!

Cracking on as always… all our horses have made lovely progress in their training regimes and the competition horses are starting to get fit ready for the season to start soon . 🔥 💪

Darcy has now SOLD to the best of homes…
But, we may have another coloured coming in for sales for a client that may catch your eye 😉
