He’s just awesome😍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Kham trying out straight show jumping 😃
The courses and jump offs were twisty and looked so much fun! Have to see if we can improve the power steering in the jump offs😂 it’s not easy getting that big body around tight corners at speed😂😂😂

No sharing the dog toys😂

07/06/2024

Actually to be fair, he’s big all over 😂, not just the ears!
Time for Dash to become a riding horse 🤩
He’s just so kind, loving, gentle and willing to learn❤️❤️❤️
Someone will be a very lucky rider🌸

Happy birthday Jamie!!!
20 years old this week 🎉🎉🎉
Morning birthday cake and afternoon birthday cake!🎂🎂🤣
Can’t believe you’re 20 already, seems like yesterday you were riding Cracker in the holiday programs❤️.
So if you have lessons today you’re in luck, head in to the tack room and grab yourself a piece before your lesson😋😋😋
(Even Cracker wanted a piece😆)

Hope all the Mums out there had a super special Mothers Day yesterday 💕💕🌸
We decided to head up to QEP and take the ponies x-country training. Lovely seeing plenty of Mums doing exactly the same thing with their kids😃
We had a blast doing the 80 and some of the 95cm for the first time.
Special day 💕💕💕

Unbelievable day at circuit finals last Saturday 🌸🌸🌸🌸
Such a lovely day spent with our show hunter friends and CHE family, it’s been a long time since everyone has been together at a show! You guys are the best😘 And so wonderful seeing Daisy back competing again!❤️😃

Maddy was adamant that Elli should go to the circuit finals (she hadn’t competed in show hunter since before her accident at Christmas), I thought she’d be quite fresh and ‘bouncy’😂 as I’d just clipped her. But she ended up winning the Equitation class and the 80cm circuit final class!

Kham came second in the 60cm and 80cm class (his score didn’t count in the Equitation class as I’d accidentally nominated Elli instead of Kham. Mental note to myself, always read the rules😂.

Kham ended up winning the TSS Motorcycles & Ally Todd Swimming Show Hunter circuit leaderboard 2024, and Elli came in second overall 🌸

Maddy also won the Sharps Farrier Services Equitation Leaderboard 2024.

Thank you to the amazing sponsors, organisers and volunteers that make these events happen. What an opportunity you’ve given all the riders ❤️

It’s been an unbelievable season 😃

Hi guys,
Firstly I would just like to thank our clients who come to their riding lessons each week, who arrive on time, who pay for their lesson, or the ones that let us know well in advance if they’re heading away on holiday, or those that let us know before term ends that they are taking up winter sports next term. You guys are bloody brilliant🤩❤️. I can’t thank you enough for your commitment, organisation and consideration.
I write this post hoping to improve some of the issues that is making it increasingly difficult and stressful to operate our riding school. Our cancellations and no shows for lessons have increased to a ridiculous level since Christmas. I understand sometimes people occassionally go away or are sick. But if you happen to be a repeating canceller or a no show, please understand that we commit to keeping your time spot each week, we have an instructor there each week to teach you, and we have a horse groomed and ready for you to ride. In return we expect you to commit to your lesson time and turn up. Our cancellation levels and no shows have reached 60% and sometimes upto 75% some days. This is making it very difficult to organise instructors, to organise clinics or holiday programs, not to mention the economic repercussions. I personally am finding this extremely stressful to continually try and fill last minute cancellations, often late into the night, and the anxiety or not knowing who will arrive/not arrive the next day.
We have a great bunch of instructors at Castle Hill, and we put everything into our lessons, and care of our horses. So please, when you book a lesson, or a term of lessons, please think very carefully what this represents.
Cheers Caroline❤️

I’ve clipped the giant merino😂😂😂
Clipped him 3 weeks ago, and still went through 1 1/2 blades😱. The hairy beast!!!
