Our winners from today's final!!! 🥇

We would like to say a huge THANK YOU to absolutely everyone who attended our league over the last 4 weeks. It was so encouraging to get such great numbers for our very first competition league and we really do appreciate all the support 🙏
It was also fantastic to see such an improvement in both horses and riders as each week went on 💪

Also, a massive THANK YOU to every single person that helped out over these past few weeks and made everything run so smoothly. From the judging, parking, road management to everyones help changing courses and picking up poles. Every little bit of help was greatly appreciated 🙏

There was such a lovely atmosphere on the yard and that was down to everyone that came along 😊

Until the next show.. 🤠

Last pony of the week is 'Stella' 🐴

Stella is a 7yo 14h mare. She has been with a novice lady rider for the past two years doing mainly low level riding club activities, hacking, beach rides and trekking.
She is a very sweet, kind and straightforward pony in all ways. She is popping around a course of 70s proving to be very brave and forgiving. She was equally as brave cross country, didn't bat an eyelid at anything ⭐

She may potentially do 80s in time as her mileage continues and fitness improves.

Would make a lovely second pony rather than a first pony as she is still relatively young and has a bit of go in her (not a kick along plod).

Lots of fun, super willing and enjoys her work!! 🦄

Coming up next we have 'Cola' 🌟

Cola is a 148cm 8yo super little competition pony. To date he has done mainly pony club activities, sji (Ahey Bridge 18th) up to 1m, eventing, interschools and tetratlon. Brave as you'll find, will jump absolutely anything you point him at 🏇

He was a second pony for his current rider who was 13 years old buying old and has competed him the past 3 years. He will not suit a novice rider as he is quite forward going but absolutely no badness in him!

Next up for sale is 'Olaf' ⭐

Olaf was sold by us over a year ago (previously known as keel) but change of circumstances for owner now forces sale. But we are delighted to have him back with another year of much improved work under his belt and feeling very confident and happy.

He is an 9yo 143cm connemara type gelding. To date he was mainly used for showing, dressage leagues, pony club, pony games and beach rides. So therefore, he has relatively low mileage in terms of outings for his jumping career, however has proven himself to be very brave, careful and honest with us. Will pop around a 90s track no problem with more to give we feel. A pony with a fantastic kind nature that ALWAYS wants to please. Not a bad bone in this pony's body!! A super fun all rounder ready to make his next kid very happy 😇
