Last week we said goodbye to the gorgeous Finlay, who has gone back to his owner for a well deserved break after coming to me for breaking livery.

He has been an absolute pleasure and has taken to ridden work like a dream!! So looking forward to having him back next year to continue his journey.

Thank you to his owner Alison for trusting me with her special boy.

The beautiful Ruby, who I've had the pleasure of breaking to ride for her owner is now available for viewings to find her new person. Work commitments force this sad situation & only the best homes will be considered

Had a great time at the BD Petplan Area Festival, Solihull with Julie& Dave's Revvy (ALIVE WIRE). He was super, and despite some tension which lost us marks his work was really brilliant.

I'm so impressed with him for holding his own at a Novice Area Festival amongst some really smart horses - especially as he's an ex racer & did his first wobbly dressage test at the end of August! I started BD with him in September & his progress has been brilliant and I can't thank Chris Pugh enough for bringing us both on so much in such a short space of time, and making me actually look forward to Dressage lessons and shows again!!

Thanks to Oak Saddlery as always for kitting me and Rev out head to toe and always being there to make sure everything fits perfectly & Rev has everything he needs to look & feel fabulous 💕

Coco! Jamie Ellis' 4, rising 5yo MD Sandylands Queen of the Moment

15.2hh of feisty mare !

🤞🏻 She is as good as Proud Mairi owing to their similar breeding.

She went to her first XC school the other day at Somerford Park Farm 01260299888 and didn't bat an eyelid, I don't think being bold will be a problem 😎

Oliver, lovely big gelding I've just broken in for Heidi O'Neil.

He's a warmblood with a bright future I'm sure !

Jumping Alive Wire at home with Jeanette - always grateful for the endless support I receive from Team Brakewell.

Rev is getting the hang of jumping 🥹😎

Julie & Dave Keates' lovely Alive Wire (Rev) did two super Novice tests at Field House Equestrian at the weekend.

Two good percentages & first points gained towards his Summer Regional Qualification at Novice Silver. He placed a very close 3rd overall and 1st in both of his sections.

The main aim of the show was as a valuable prep run for his Regional Final at ARENA UK SHOW Centre next week.

Rev is still young & learning all of the time. Medium paces are a work in progress, but he really is an incredible little racehorse & I can't believe how much he's developing.

Max & Mika enjoying the sun despite the cold weather today.

Had a really busy Christmas here with Natasha away in South Africa visiting family. Totally forgot to welcome in the New Year with a post.

We have a full yard coming into 2024, looking forward to the coming year with all our brilliant owners, staff, clients, suppliers & everyone who helps us in training these wonderful horses every day - it wouldn't be possible without the people who choose to support us.

Thank you as always xx
