What better time to catch up on the last two weeks than on a 7 1/2 hour bus ride..🙈🚎

Officially been back in the beautiful Northleach for two weeks this weekend and what a whirlwind it has been. Here are some highlights -

Week 1!
• many lessons with Ginny, getting a tune up and becoming reacquainted with the horses! 💪🏼
• A snow day! Spent out show jumping at Prestige with three of the boys, all of whom were legends.
• Family dinner at the bosses house 🍽️
• Lots of puppy cuddles 🐾

Week 2!
• Being trusted to show and ride one of the young eventers for a trial with some American clients, very educational and insightful opportunity and I am so grateful!
• Lots of work with lots of lovely racehorses in for training.
• Beauttttiful Cotswold hacking scenes 🌲🍂☃️
• Broken boiler resulting in no hot water in both staff houses 😅❄️

Due to some unfortunate family circumstances I’m making a very last minute trip up to Scotland this weekend, regardless I am looking forward to seeing the family and then coming back and getting stuck back in!

4 days of travel, one day in Dallas and a night in London later and I made it!🛬🇬🇧
So thrilled to be back with Ginny Thomasen Eventing and the team for the winter ❄️ ☃️

Had a great start to my time here taking three of my favourite boys showjumping at Prestige after a very snowy start!🩵

Looking forward to the next couple of months and having lots to take home with me in January after spending some time with the family in Scotland.

P.S. my favourite Premier Equine bag from Melwood Equestrian that I’ve used for university and as a gear bag for shows can now add carry on for international flights to its resume! Highly recommend 🤩👌🏼

How’s that for a transformation 🤯

6 year old Penny from her arrival day in the end of May to yesterday.

Penny has been fed on
🌾McMillan Equine - Grain Free
🌱 Fibre Protect
🌟 Seahorse Supplements - Maxia Digest

Since day one and she has improved out of sight, not only in her condition but also her demeanor! Happier and healthier 🥰 She has been mostly unrugged now that it is getting warmer and she is glowing from the inside out✨ Still a wee way to go and I look forward to bringing her back into work and doing some strength and conditioning when I get home from the UK! 🇬🇧 🛬

What a weekend 🌟

Caledonia had her first 2DE and stepped up to 95 this weekend. So many improvements made and lots of things to work on for next time!
Highlight of the weekend was her storming around the XC clear and under time making it all feel super easy. Absolutely loving the journey with this mare!🥰

Huge thanks to Eventing Canterbury, volunteers, judges/stewards for such a well ran event and friendly environment! And massive thanks to Prebbleton Veterinary Hospital for your class sponsorship 💟
Biggest thanks to No. 1 Groom and videographer Lynne McKenzie we couldn’t do this without you!

Great way to round out 2024 and finish the first half of the season! Looking forward to working towards some new goals in 2025💫💪🏼

Now I’m getting ready to set off on another rather exciting adventure… 🛫🇬🇧🏇🏼

Mixed emotions today with the very lovely ‘Rimu’ heading home after a fun 8 weeks of restarting and education!
This cheeky 4 year old won us all over and as much as I am sad to see him go it was very rewarding seeing his young owner Lauren riding him beautifully and I am so looking forward to following his future 🌍

Rimu is available to the best of homes! If interested PM me and I can put you in contact with his owners 🥰

Video to come of his progress but for now here are a few photos of his time here ✨📚

New rug day for the baby of the team thanks to Melwood Equestrian 😍✨👑

Isn’t Penny just the sweetest. Going to be cool watching her grey out over time🤍🩶

Halswell Pony Club Event 2024

Second event for our beautiful Posie 💜 She exceeded all expectations in the jumping phases for a super easy double clear.
Unfortunately just a little bit tense in the dressage due to the chaos of the warm up but nailing 2/3 phases is pretty darn good for her second attempt.

Looking very much forward to stepping her up now.

Thanks so much to all of the organisers, judges/stewards, volunteers and Lynne McKenzie for such a wonderful day 🥳🏅

Caledonia at Roydvale Pony Club ODE 🤩💜

Posie blew us away at her first event, don’t think I’ve stopped smiling since that cross country round!

Beautiful start in the frosty morning with a 29 dressage for her second time ever in the white boards and 4th 🎖️🤩🤌🏼
Sack the jockey in the showjumping - cantered straight past fence 4 🤦🏼‍♀️😅
Thrown in the deep end in the 80 for her first event but needn’t have worried, she bowled around full of confidence for a super clear round.
Frustratingly a fence judge marked us as missing a fence - despite having us jumping said fence on video and in a professional photo 🙈

Overall extremely stoked and looking thoroughly forward to the rest of the season and seeing where our journey takes us 🏅❤️🐴

Thank you to Roydvale PC and all of the judges, organisers and volunteers for all of their hard work.
Thanks so much to for the beautiful photos 📸
And big thanks to Lynne McKenzie for being chief groom and support crew 🥰

Huge shoutout to MT Equine services for coming to my rescue and finishing clipping Posie for me super quickly when my clippers gave up!
She did a beautiful job and Posie just loved her - highly recommend 🥰✂️💇🏽‍♀️

Had the privilege of having this lovely 6 year old mare here for a bit of a tune up recently. So eager to please and trainable we thoroughly enjoyed her time here!
Worked predominantly on finding her forward buttons and learning to take the bridle instead of tucking her nose in.
Her workload was nice and varied as being a young horse they can get a bit bored and stuffy if you overdo the schooling so lots of variety to strengthen her without doing the same thing every day; hacking, jumping, outings, big canters in the front paddock and schooling.

I have spaces available again in two weeks, pm me for more information 😇

After about a month of groundwork I finally had my first ride on my new little project at home. Her second ride off the track and she blew us away 🥰
Such a special mare looking forward to seeing what she can do! [and YES she’s dark dark grey 😍]

Awesome to see the benefits of working on their way of going from the ground once you’re in the saddle 👏🏼

Now that exams are all over rover for Sem-1 📚 the horses are coming back into work and Posie is finally back to 100% and rideable again thanks to everyone at Canterbury Equine ❤️‍🩹👌🏼

Love going back to basics over winter - lots and lots of long reining all around the property and the quiet roads, double lunging and groundwork 😇💪🏼 looking forward to hopefully catching the end of the winter ODE season and then cracking on with spring + summer 🤩

Don’t know who was more stoked to finally be back out on XC - me or Posie 🤭 Thoroughly enjoying the journey with my talented wee 5 year old. Countdown is on to her first event!🐎🏅 #ottb #sporthorse #offthetrack #eventer #racehorsetosporthorse #eventing
