So we’re very behind on updates here, I mainly post on Instagram now, we seem to get much more engagement. For any Facebook followers, Lylas had a fabulous few weeks!

You don’t always get the option to explain your journey when out competing… you see disappointment everywhere not just with showjumping but with riding in general. It’s a partnership, a partnership that takes time to develop. It needs trust and a mutual understanding… so when parents see Lyla bombing round at 100 mph and taking a rosette every now and then, know that’s it’s not been easy. Infact it’s been quite the opposite. Nothing this kid has won has been handed to her on a plate. She has worked her socks off for every single little achievement. It’s taken grit determination, blood, sweat, tears and a few hospital trips.

Last week she competed in Taunton and won. This week she competed in Okehamptons Unaffiliated showjumping and came 2nd, she missed out on first placing by just 1 second. Every little achievement means the world to her. As soon as she finished the last jump she came out the arena patting her pony. Not just any pat, a pat of relief, a pat of love, a pat of thanks.. thanks for taking me round safely. This pony simply loves what she does, without question. The hop, skip and leap towards every single jump tells me that. It’s not been easy but its been worth every cold rainy dark evening of trying and then trying again.

Stick with it kids. The hardest journeys are the BEST ♥️🎈

Not our day but with a double elimination that’s still an achievement right? 😆

Not the best weekend for Lyla by a long way..

Was hopeful to compete at her first BS on Saturday but it wasn’t to be. Confidence levels at an all time low meant mistakes were made before we even made it into the arena. Lyla rode the wrong stride without enough momentum which resulted in Viva landing on top of a fairly large Oxer during the warm up. Lyla landed on her feet. Viva needs a confident rider, she’s only young, still learning and needs riding into a stride. A new arena, strange course and tired Lyla, wasn’t to be.

Today was Pony Club ODE day. For Lylas age the class was only 40cm. We went for it anyway and after yesterday I wasn’t hopeful for much. Lyla rode her beautifully, even the spicy moments she sat and stayed calm and rode on.
Dressage was an all time low with just 42%. Showjumping she had a stop but Viva definitely got some confidence back after yesterday.
Cross country Viva loved and Lyla smashed it. She even came away smiling. Problem at the ditch where I got involved which resulted in Elimination.. it’s hard as a Mum to sit and watch your little girl struggle against an over opinionated pony. My fault entirely but given the situation again I’d do exactly the same. It’s not always about winning, it’s about progressing. Even with a difficult pony Lyla still did amazingly. Lots learned.

We couldn’t do any of this without the help and support of our AMAZING friends .equestrian who have been a constant support for Lyla. Not only do they do 6am starts, they drive Lyla around, buy her much needed chocolate, tack up, groom, walk courses amongst being my rock when I’m having a Mummy wobble!!! They always have her back.
I can’t thank them enough. Lyla wouldn’t be where she is without your support, reassurance and constant driving her to events! THANK YOU

❤️🥰❤️

To celebrate Fathers Day Lyla jumped into the 1m club on her 12.2 pony. A personal little achievement of hers that she’s proud of ❤️

Well done Lyla and Viva, the most dedicated duo I know.
Happy Fathers Day to all the Dads cleaning tack, mucking out, stood in the rain at shows, paying for liveries and feeding pony mouths.

And to all the Mums / Dads that do it alone and to everybody who no longer has a Dad. Whatever your situation, enjoy the simple things about today 🐝

Happy Fathers Day

Lovely sunny day courtesy of East Devon Hunt PC ODE. Lyla managed a 5th place in dressage with quite a few areas to work on. Showjumping wasn’t our day, Vivas first time jumping on grass, felt rushed and Viva was keen to get the job done. Lyla did well to retire early.
Cross country went well, managed a few 60/70cm jumps, popped the step and the ditch too. Overall a good learning experience for Viva and first time travelling alone! Happy Saturday 🐎🍉

Such a beautiful evening in Devon, I’ve left the sound on so you can hear the birds and the sound of Vivas galloping hooves. Moments like these last a lifetime. Invest in memories 🐎☀️ #makingmemories #mypony #equestrianlifestyle #spring #birds #nature #gallop #ponylover

Me and Vivi at Courtways. I’m much happier than I was competing a few weeks ago. Nerves get the better of me and Viva feels it when I’m nervous. This pony jumps her heart out for me, only 60cm but she cleared everything. Water, fillers, planks all jumped for the first time. Well done Viva, I’m proud of you and thanks Mum for always yelling at me through every jump ❤️❤️ #girlteam #family #mumyells

Not sure my pony likes my sister 🤷🏻‍♀️
