JLC Dressage Documenting my dressage journey with my young horse and advanced horse whilst having to do something called work that is needed to fund this hobby!

Chunk has been with me 5 years today and what a 5 years it has been. It really has been a rollercoaster but we have been to shows I could only have dreamed of going to before owning him and for that I am eternally grateful. There are so many people to thank for getting us to this point and I’m looking forward to so many more happy times with him 🥰

We ventured out to Keysoe this afternoon to have a run through of the PSG before the regionals. Chunk took a dislike to the flags and the marquees today so our warm up didn’t quite go to plan. We somehow managed to hold it together in the test and win the class with just under 65%. We’ve still got things to work on but to know we can get this score with limited warm up and a tense test is exciting 🦄

🎉🥕Happy 17th Birthday Chunky 🥕🎉

Two days at Keysoe complete 🦄💕
Our aim was to get 2 clear rounds of the PSG, a miscommunication in our 4’s yesterday kept our score down but today was our day and everything went to plan for a clear round and to make it even better we came 1st.
Thank you to everyone that came and watched us this weekend, it’s been lovely catching up with lots of people! 💕

Chunk was a superstar yesterday evening to gain 66% in the PSG at Vale View. Even though it’s not a PB I feel like it was our best test we have ridden at this level 🦄

The last few competitions I’ve really struggled with my warm up and I’ve not been happy with his way of going. We’ve spent some time over these last few weeks breaking everything down and it felt like it all fell into place yesterday. Thanks Jemma Whitlam Equestrian for coming to help me warm up yesterday to make sure I didn’t go off the rails 🤣

Bring on the next one now 💪🏻

From dressage horse to happy hacker 🦄 Chunk has had a few days off in the field since the nationals and now we are ready to get back to the hard work 💪🏻

✨Area Festival Championship✨
Yesterday may not have been our day on paper but Chunk and I both thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We had too many mistakes to be placed but I am so happy we qualified and got to ride at the championships.
It was lovely to catch up with lots of people and finally meet Clare Skinner who bred Chunk 16 years ago 🥰
Also thank you to Jayne Sandiford for helping the last few days and making him look beautiful!
We’ve got lots planned this year and I can’t wait!

This weekend we were very lucky to have been asked to ride at the British Dressage Principles of Judging Seminar and what a weekend it has been! Chunk tried his absolute hardest like always and we have taken so much away from this weekend and I can’t wait to put it all into practice! I am very grateful for all the opportunities Chunk and I have been given ❤️

The perfect Monday, start and finish the day with my two best friends 🐴☀️

Training is well underway for the Petplan Area Festival Championships for Chunk and I. We had a great schooling session this morning and he is feeling on top form ✨
Pixie is off to a show this weekend as well so let’s hope the worst of the weather is out the way now! 🌪☔️

Today Chunk and I won the PSG with 67% ❤️

Up until half an hour before I was due to leave we weren’t going, the wind and rain had really put me off this morning. But then I thought to myself I’m silly not going as he is really well at the moment and I am so lucky to have a horse like him to ride! Thank god I did, the training at home is really paying off and to get this score when we had a break in the extended trot and a mistake in the changes which is normal our highlight. I’m excited to see what’s to come!

💙💚Vale View Area Festivals 💚💙
I’m so proud of these two horses this weekend! Friday Pixie Lot and Jemma Whitlam Equestrian were in the Novice Silver. Pixie has been feeling extremely well these last few weeks so we were worried how she might behave! She kept everyone on their toes in the warm up but when she went into the test she managed to hold it together. A few spooky moments kept the scores down but she scored 67.7% and ended up 6th. I’m so happy with how she is coming on and I’m excited for her future.

Then Saturday was Hillgrounds Profiles (Chunks) turn and as we hadn’t been out since Keysoe High Profile I was quite nervous. I had nothing to worry about, he pulled it out the bag like the legend he is and won. We are off to the championships at Inter 1! This horse is getting better and better and I have so much love for him.

Both these horses are British bred- Chunk by Clare Skinner and Pixie Anna Ross - Elite Dressage and I’m so grateful to have both these wonderful horses to ride everyday ❤️

Yesterday we ventured over to Keysoe for the area festivals with Jemma riding Pixie. Even though it might not have been their day on paper Pixie learnt some much. This last week she has been feeling a bit too well so our main aim was to just get round and everyone survive and that was achieved so that was a win in our eyes!
Achievements of the day-
✅ she survived a very busy warm up which she has never experienced before
✅ first time competing at Keysoe and in arena 3 (the scary arena) and not spooky at all
✅ completed the test with no extra special movements added in (well nearly)
✅ she is a pleasure to take to shows

We are going to Vale View next week to have another go and if nothing else just give her more experience to help her confidence grow. Thank you Jemma for riding her so well and dealing with everything she throws at you!

🎄Merry Christmas everyone🎄

I hope everyone is having a wonderful day, the horses have had extra carrots and now I’m about to have my Christmas dinner!

Pixie and Jemma Whitlam Equestrian on their way to winning both novice classes yesterday at Moulton with 68% and 69%. They had some lovely comments and it’s really exciting to see what the future holds ❤️

Sorry for being so quiet on here recently. We’ve been busy competing and also getting the house and stables sorted before Christmas. We’ll be ready for a holiday soon 😆

This weekend Chunk and I ventured to Keysoe High Profile, it wasn’t our greatest test by any means. I should have read the warnings when my stirrup leather broke in the warm up 😳🙈!

His whole way of going wasn’t as good as I’ve had it recently which resulted in mistakes in both sets of changes, which are usually our highlight and these blips were very costly 😕.

We did end up 🥉 overall so I’ve got to look at some positives. I’ve taken a lot away from this show and we will go back out in a few weeks time and hopefully put Saturday behind us……I’d also better buy some new stirrup leathers 😂

I then opened the British Dressage magazine today and it was a gentle reminder of how much we have achieved and I am ever so grateful for this horse ❤️

Advanced Dressage Rider

I’m Jessica Coltman of JLC Dressage based on the Northamptonshire/Buckinghamshire border at the beautiful Ashton Vale stables.

A bit about me - I’ve loved and ridden horses and ponies from a very early age and in recent years was lucky enough to work for a top international dressage rider and trainer where I learnt my trade. I’m passionate about helping people achieve their dressage goals regardless of the type of horse or level of competition.

I am available for both coaching and schooling and can take horses and ponies on either short or long term livery - when space allows. Drop me a message if you’re interested in working with me.

I currently have two horses: “Chunk” is my superstar PSG horse and “Pixie” is a beautiful youngster who I hope to get out and about with soon. Follow my page to keep up to date with our progress!
