Lovely family to work with this evening with loading issues they were having.
I am so lucky to be able to do a job I love and meet such lovely 🦄 and people and make a big difference for them.

Loading is something I enjoy doing, but ultimately it’s the ground work before getting any where near the lorry which works..
I spent a short time working in the enclosed yard, building a good understanding and relationship with this lovely 🦄 and she loaded straight away..in fact she took me up the ramp!!
It’s been taking the family hours to load and resulting in giving up, so I’m extra happy to see the smiles this evening and more importantly a happy and relaxed horse, who’s enjoyed the training session 🦄🥰
Thanks Carol Gannon for asking me to help 😊

A very blustery afternoon helping Heidi Hallatt load Millie.
Millie is a challenging 🦄 and likes to keep Heidi on her toes!
Millie has been more difficult with loading on the return home. Today we took Millie out so I could help Heidi with the loading to and from the venue.
We made good progress and hoping the next outing can be enjoyed and less stressful coming home 🤞🦄

Been quiet on here, but believe me I’ve been busy and trying (like many of us) to deal with the great British, wet weather 😬🙈

Today I went to a regular client with her older 🦄 I do ground work (long reining) before owner gets on to do straight line work. We have manged to postpone steroids in her stifles for over 18 months now, so very important for 🦄 and her exercise routine.

Then I had a Lovely catch up/schooling session with the lovely Fergus 🦄 and owner katie..
Fergus is a lovely 2yr old, who’s grown lots from when I last saw him last year.. I put a little pic together to see the difference 😍 Katie Lovegrove so excited to watch and be part of their progress and journey ahead..

Rebel has improved so much over the past 4-5 weeks I’ve been doing long reining with him. We have used poles and raised poles within his ground work and today for a change up we added some jumps in and built up to a double 🦄
variety is always a good idea. Poles have been used to help build rebel up, but it’s helping with his confidence in his strides too.. so adding some jumps will also help build on his jumping technique and confidence..
