So greatful for these deep swimming holes on our back door on hot days like today- Foxy enjoying a cool off after her very hot jump school this evening, she most definitely loved her dip in the water ๐ฆ โ๏ธ
Been a bit un active on this page lately.
But the ponies are doing well and ticking along doing the shows we can, here is a short video of foxy last weekend at the last mini circuit at northland showjumping, wasnโt our best show but we definitely came home on a high and have found some more homework to work on for the next competition in April.
Piper having a fun ride the other night when I rode her in the wind and rain then had a play to see how she coped with the trees blowing and touching her back!!
Which she coped absolutely perfectly for what I put her through.
Someone will really have fun on this mare ๐
Piper learning this jumping thing. She is a really whiling mare to work with.
Still for sale ๐
Hereโs a video of foxys first metre round she did last weekend at woodhill at her first show of the season.
A year ago this mare was only just learning how to canter on the flat and still trotting into jump. Sheโs such a clever mare โค๏ธ
Foxy casually walking past a scary trailer, some chickens that are obviously super scary and gonna get her. This video was taken after I had to get her to walk nicely past both these scary things to actually get her to realise that it wasnโt that bad and they werenโt gonna get her. Such a good baby ๐คฉ
Foxys ride this morning before the bad weather really hit. She went passed many of different things she hadnโt seen before so the aim today was to just get her relaxed and loving her farm rides so th lots of pats when she needs them ๐ค๐ฅฐ
Nice morning to take Tele for a ride and through some water after all the rain we have had. Molly also tagged along with us on the ride. ๐คฉ๐ฅฐ
Clipped the beautiful dolly yesterday over in dargiville. This was her second clip.
did a full clip on her to get rid of all her fluff ๐ฆ๐
Started the week off with a nice farm ride on Tele with molly leading beside him ๐๐ด
Hope everyone has a good rest of the week ๐
Took the two mares to woodhill sand last weekend to have a blast at some showjumping.
Foxy - jumping awesome in all her classes going clear on all her classes and even doing her first 90cm and making it look easy. So excited to keep this young mare going up the heights.
She sure has earnt a couple of weeks off ๐คฉ๐ด๐ซ๐ค
Lizzy at dressage lesson
Lizzy strutting her stuff at our lesson on Wednesday morning. So pleased with how far this mare has come in a couple of months of riding her.
Not to mention Iโm am loving her trot and her movement in general ๐๐ดโฅ๏ธ๐
Riding into the long weekend with these two. Wishing everyone a great weekend and stays safe. โฅ๏ธ๐ด
Comparison video of fox ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ
This video is back in July , where she was learning to canter with a rider on her. All I can say is I am greatful for Mum who took time from her day to take me and fox to an arena so I could teach her to canter in a good dry surface, as our jump paddock was WAY to slushy to teach my baby to canter ๐คฆ๐ผโโ๏ธ. If it wasnโt for taking her to the arena I donโt think her canter will be where it is today. This just shows perseverance and patience brings you success, it may feel like a long rocky road to get to the success and see improvements but we get there in the end. This mare just makes me smile every time I ride her. ๐ฅฐ
( an updated video of fox coming after this post)
Foxys turn to start learning about how to do flying changes. I think she is getting the hang of the idea as this was her 3rd ride learning and she got it every time even on her first ride she nailed it aswel ๐ฅฐ

Molly ๐
Molly training over some bigger jumps yesterday. Love how this little mare has been trying so hard for me. Hopefully get out into the show jumping ring soon ๐๐ค๐ผ
Who is excited for the weekend, as much as Molly is to be out in her paddock with freedom after being locked up for a week with an abbess ๐๐คฆ๐ผโโ๏ธ๐ด๐ฅฐ
Jill Ullrich clinic on Molly
A little throwback from one of my lessons with my coach Jill Ullrich last season on molly jumping a few bigger fences for my first time. Love this horse โค๏ธ๐ด
So proud of this big baby pony making big improvements every day I ride her. May not look pretty to start with but I thing is gotta be ugly before it gets pretty. Excited to keep working with her and see where things go with her ๐ฅฐ
