ON BEHALF

Anyone looking for a kind Temperment and brave horse?!?
I’ve ridden this horse a few times and he’s a real pleasure.
Has been looked after well with very transparent owners and is a fraction of the costs of some warmbloods on the market with some serious untapped jumping potential with good mileage, I think he would be great in the SJ ring as he’s quick and light on his feet for a big horse.

“Jepezz George - 16.3hh 11yo TB gelding.

Show jumped to 1m and evented to 80cm, with the scope to go higher. trained to 110ish SJ and 105xc. been extensively hacked to the beach, forest, river etc, absolutely perfect alone and in company. up to date with farrier, worming, dental. self loads on an angle load/straight load/truck and happy to travel alone or with a buddy.
requires an experienced rider as he is foward and can be hot, but no dirt or buck/bolt/rear. has given me so much confidence and experience from when i was 14-16yo as he was my first hack. “

Storm ⛈️

This is a horse I got from a polo yard a few years ago who done the basics with me!
She’s now been in her forever home out eventing and doing PC.

Storm at Eventing Canterbury 3day,
I’ve been watching this pair for awhile and this horse is an amazing mount, her and Leilah have made some amazing progress and storm has been in great hands since, with some great guidance and awesome riders supporting this horse.

It takes a good team of people to make a happy horse like this, and I’m so thrilled for her home and great support networks.
🥰🥰
Leilah Penny keep up the good work!

Happy birthday horses!! 🎉

As most of you may already know I’ve shipped of to Australia and have sold me team. 💔

Super grateful to all the horses I have met, all the trainers who have supported me and my own dedication to making my animals pay off when working 2 jobs and studying between it all, so give yourself the gratification you deserve today.
Ticked off a few things this year, breaking in some of my own and others, John kindly lending me one of the lovely pre-trainers to take out eventing and just having a a bloody good time with some great people in the sport.

Spoil them rotten guys, they do a lot for us ✌🏻✌🏻

Harry goes hunting 😍

Impeccably behaved, probably one of the quietest horses there!
Gate duties a big tick!

Saying goodbye to these two tomorrow 🥹

They are off up North to their new owners, luckily they have each other for the trip!

End of an era, Petals has taught me so much as a person and about myself, I’m absolutely heartbroken to loose her.
She’s been the best babysitter, cleanest jumper and most genuine mare ever.
I’ve never had a bad ride on her, she always tries her hardest and gives me the biggest smile seeing her in the paddock. She’s landed an epic home up north to keep being produced and I look forward to seeing how much enjoyment her new owners get!
She’s been treated with so much love and has given so much love back.

Boo also heads up north to help his new rider to start their competitive journey.
This horse is just a blast, he’s been the most fun to take out and just get on with it, he’s so motivated and will go to the end of the world for his rider! I have no doubt he will bring so much joy to his new rider as he did his jockeys before and after me.

Absolutely bitter sweet to let these two go, especially Petals who has a special place in my heart and is apart of the furniture for me.

RANGIORA ODE
Boo’s second 80 for double clear 🤩

Boo had an awesome correct dressage where he improved greatly in his transitions and accuracy, he had a much more relaxed test than our last ODE, he’s progressing nicely on the flat! With a couple good pointers to work on.
Although this wasn’t reflected by the judge, with 62.11%, I’m happy to confirm he felt well improved!

Boo continued with a clear XC and SJ jumping scopey, careful and was super adjustable.

It’s all coming together to make a really epic little all rounder, he was super well behaved and always leaves a smile on my face!

Some neat snaps, post eventing a few weeks ago!

Not looking forward to the weather this weekend out competing but just got to keep chipping away.
Just Boo cracking on with his second 80 this weekend and unfortunately our travel buddie had a XC accident, so won’t be attending with us anymore ✌🏻

Harry demonstrating his clear round at his first show 😍

Was that 45cm or 1.45cm?? 🤣..( Got to be careful though, could be spiders)....what a Gorgeous Grey 😍😍

🍬👻 Oxford show cross 👻🍬

Harry had his first ever ridden competition today! Clear SJ & clear XC.
Absolute legend, he is growing in confidence everyday and today was a real boost for him, he’s coming along so quickly and taking it all in his stride.
🏅Came home with 4th place!

Boo had his first 80cm start also going clear SJ & clear XC. He flew around with some extravagant legs! He is just so so much fun to sit on!
🥉Boo came home with 3rd place!

Thanks Oxford Pony Club what a lovely low key day with an awesome little course, great prizes and great people.

🍬🍬 Harry’s first XC school 🍬🍬

What a clever boy!
Happily waited his turn with no other horses around, worked lovely on the flat too ☺️
Neck strap was needed over these little fences! Harry’s not yet aware there isn’t a black hole under there but definitely on the right track, he just keeps ticking every box, he loves to please!
I enjoy riding this horse an awful lot 🤩

Boo and Harry heading out for some solid fences!

Boo is for sale and I’m shocked that no one’s wanted him on their team, he jumps everything and with so much style 🤩
He’s had heaps of interest but no one suitable for him!

27/04/2023

Boo, 7y/o, Rip Van Winkle, Gelding just working at home tonight getting some air!

He is heading to Amberley for his first offical eventing start next weekend! Very excited

27/04/2023

Petals also baby-sat Harry and had a quick spin around some wee jumps after her attempt at the young event horse.
Heading to Amberley ODE next weekend so have to clean up some stuff!
Just adore sitting on this horse 💕

27/04/2023

Harry’s headed to Birchbrook for a quick spin!!🍬

Stellar behaviour from him, it was his first time in the straight loader and safe to say walking backwards wasn’t instinct for him 😂
But we let him head out in his own time leaving the back open and he found his way, he’s producing some lovely work on the flat and was a champ for a pony who’s just learnt the ropes!
Just too much to like about you Harry 💕

Unfortunately my heart horse is available to a loving home 😓

This horse is super special!

Harry is having an awesome week!

Attended his first two offsite rides, got clipped and went hacking. What a cool young guy he’s turning into 🥰

He’s working lovely on the flat and have been focusing on creating a bit more impulsion, he has been such an effortless horse to start producing.

Absolute testament to Westfield for all the brilliant beginnings they have given him to make him so easy!

19/04/2023

Harry’s first offsite ride! He was superbly behaved the entire time waiting his turn while Boo and Petals had their rides 💕

I’m so so pleased with how he’s settled in here and handled everything so far, he’s feeling so comfortable and confident in himself and is lovely, soft and responsive! He also got clipped today and is looking very smart and handsome with the new cut 😍

Boo had his 3rd ride since returning just hop on a go! So obliging and as always such a fun guy to ride producing some lovely work on the flat. Very lucky to have him back here!

16/04/2023

Another weekend and petals was back in the ring! A very green ride from her and me but always tries her heart out for me, given the pressure she’s put under!

Boo has also come back to be sold and is waiting his turn this week! I adore this horse and am so pleased to have him back and spend some quality time with him before finishing his new person 🥰

Feeling very lucky to introduce Harry a 4y/o, Gypsy holsteiner cross, gelding from Westfield Stud.

He has been lightly backed and has come back into work this week, feeling awesome.
Super kind horse who has been a pleasure to work with so far. Very excited to be adding mileage to such a well-bred, attractive young horse.

Interesting read

In the wake of a spate of bad race falls, our team of journalists has spoken to 10 racing participants, including champion jockeys Damien Oliver and Kerrin McEvoy, to get their take on whether or not they and their colleagues are overworked.

 🥀 Natalie 🥀

Little 15hh, 3y/o, Verde filly.
Trialed and just wasn’t her sport!
Found herself at my place after work on Saturday 🥴
She was my wee project on the track with Blackadder Racing and I think she’s got a lot to give someone as she is exceptionally clever!

Off we went for her first ride off the track and first hack ever into the forest, brave and bold as anything.
Happily stood for me while I hopped off and on in the forest too!

Terrific little package

Cheers to another crazy year to come.
I’m so lucky to have endless love for these animals and learn so much from them, they teach me more about myself than anything or anyone ever has and I’m looking forward to all they have to teach me in 2023!

✨Twilight eventing ✨
At, Dunstan Fiber Fresh NEC - Christchurch

WOW! Where do I even start.
We had a green team of 4 OTTB’s go and test their skills out eventing.
3 of the horses had their first ever competitive starts, so it was definitely a big afternoon!

⚫️ Bolt to the blue (who raced under this name) was first up. He blew me away with having 3 rides leading upto this event! He done a very obliging dressage test, lovely correct showjumping for one rail and an adorable XC with one cheeky run out. For his first ever competion I call that a win!

⚫️ Axel was relaxed in the warm up ring and throughout his dressage test. He had one rail down in the showjumping and a nice canter around the XC paddock attempting the less intimidating jumps. Coming to a busy environment was a test for Axel, but we kept things super confident and went out there to give him a good experience.

⚫️ Amber (Echoes of heaven filly) is a 3y/o from Blackadder Racing who had a lot of first time experiences. She is currently in training as a racehorse and is a pleasure to ride on the track.
She exceeded expectations for a horse who has had absolutely no schooling. So this was her first ever schooling session! Amber competed in the dressage only where she warmed up on her own and happily obliged in the ring.
She had a lovely attitude in the box and was just happy to be apart of the action 💕

⚫️ Last but not least Petals! Unfortunately by the time I got on the 4th horse they had packed up the dressage rings 😒 no bother, she jumped clear SJ in the 80, and had one stop XC. For her second time ever training solid fences and stepping up the height, there is just nothing this horse won’t do for me. I’m so lucky to have had her gifted to me from Ideal Racing. Not a day goes by I don’t have an ear to ear smile while on board (if you can’t tell).

The day was a great success, was all smiles and quick moving for the afternoon. It definitely wouldn’t have been able to happen without Maia Loof playing groom and running around after me, the support all the owners, my trusty happy dog Spice 🐶 and my employers for being so understanding and accommodating of my hobbies.

Sarah Robotham Photography your photos are terrific thankyou 💕

Petals has been in work for 3 weeks and headed to her first outing at Dunstan Fiber Fresh NEC - Christchurch Twilight eventing training.

This was her first ever eventing attempt!
For a horse who’s not ever trained over a XC fence with me, and sweeping a full course of XC jumps into her basket, I was impressed by her keen attitude to say the least!

I’m very happy to have her back feeling her best, after worming her way out of a staph infection. She’s just so keen to get amongst it again.

Can’t find a partner like her everyday, I feel very great full to have such awesome, versatile thoroughbreds that always give everything a crack.

Thanks Andrea Marsden for all your help watching Petals progress over the last year and adding some stressage buttons to my skill set! ☺️
Your guidance has been absolutely invaluable!

Cup and show week 💫

Laz was entered in his first 1m at Canterbury show, unfortunately we are no longer going to be able to attend after some peer review and a terrific lesson today where we decided he just needs to take a step back and have some turnout. I am so so pleased with this guys progress over the last 4 months and he has been an incredibly clever ride. For no lack of ability, unfortunately this is the reality of young horses and it’s easy to get caught up in the heights and fulfilling the season when there is only so much he can learn! We will be back after Christmas and I hope he enjoys his holiday, it’s incredibly deserved 🥰

On the other hand petals has been ticking along beautifully in the background and will be returning to the ring when she is ready🤞

To the races we go to watch my stable favourites on Saturday instead 🏇
