So proud of this wonderful young horse, his first ever regionals and he has not been to a show since September last year. Vogue has been at Becky's since beginning of January while I was off having Esme, and he has come on in leaps and bounds. We decided to let Becky's apprentice Anna ride him at Myerscough, and just wanted him to have a nice confidence giving outing. He warmed up beautifully and they looked so good together ❤️ understandably he was slightly shell shocked on the big dressed arena, but Anna expertly carried him round for 68.9% and 16th in a huge class. Sadly a few costly baby blips pulled his score down, but all three judges loved him, and the comments reflect his future talent 🤩

Huge thanks to Becky for her fabulous training and care, and Anna for riding my boy so beautifully while I'm off games 🥰

Your horse is not miraculously one year older when January 1st hits.

As someone who has had a lot of Thoroughbreds, I find myself seeing this date used on a yearly basis to put horses into work or rush them to harder degrees of work under the assumption that they’re older.

My two TBs I have currently are born in April and May. They are several months out from their birthdays still. They are, however, fully mature so this would have less damage to them due to their age but if they were both younger, I would be looking at another 4&5 months of growth before they’d actually be their respective age.

The number of 2 year olds I see people getting on the second the clock strikes midnight (hyperbolic statement but you get my point) is disheartening to see.

I notice it a lot in the QH world as well. Horses are treated as a year older on this date and people clamber to put the first ride on their baby 2 year old, failing to remember that even if they did wait till their birthday, they’d be sitting on a horse who will not be fully matured in their spine for another 3+ years.

When you start riding the second you view it as some what justifiable based on a made up rule, it pretty much guarantees that rushing will be present in other ways.

Sometimes, we need to pause for a moment and seriously consider what rules serve us and which serve and protect the horses.

This is a great example of a rule and mindset that really only serves the human desire to rush.

I had to share some thoughts on this as it’s hard to watch it happen online every year.

Your horse is still a yearling on January 1st unless they literally evacuated the womb on January 1st.

My first bred baby being a total legend 🥹
Not that we expected anything less as he’s always had the best character. ❤️
Amy is doing such a good job of producing him and it makes me so happy to know that they love him just as much as we do 🦄🥰

Great day out for Amy Hampton with two Caesar 171 grand babies! 🥰❤️🦄🦄❤️🥰

Godrics Constantine aka Albus bred by Samantha Brown, Peter and Anna Burns. Albus is out of Caesar son Godrocs Campeggio and Peter and Anna Burns Cindarella Barbarella.

Albus is owned by Maria and Amy Hampton and we love watching their progress. It's so good to see the ponies enjoying doing their job. We really couldn't have wished for better homes for all our ponies. We are so lucky, and that they share the journey with us. It's a privilege to be included. 🥰🦄👏

And Roo is out of Caesar 171 son Rosewater I Claudius. Owned by Katie Butler. We look forward to watching their journey unfold too. We had lost touch with the Claude babies, it is so good to catch up with one of them.

Amy is doing an amazing job too! 👏🥳🎉🥰

Just love these super cool kids, can’t thank the owners and Becky enough for trusting me their spectacular horses 🧡🦄 Moody Dressage

Ever so proud of Anna Burns and the ginger squad - taking a smashing one/two in the novice silver at regionals yesterday 🎉🦄🦄❤️

I had a lovely day driving/grooming/training, but the videos are very shaky due to the fact that I kak myself WAY MORE when I’m stood at the side of the arena than when I’m actually in it 😂😂

Thanks to wonder owners Syd Cooper and Anne Moody for trusting Anna and I with these 2 beauties 🦄🦄
