Still waiting for all the photos from TEG QI3DE last weekend, so please enjoy 90 seconds of mine and Fellas first Ekka adventure.

From tiny stalls (Fella was incredibly disappointed he could roll) and even smaller warmups, to absolutely being a pro in a chaotic arena and then walking down the Brisbane city streets - with many stops for photographs and chats - it was a busy day. It was a fun day. And it was an amazing adventure.

Thanks in no small part to Anastacia Malisauskas and her parents who helped get us to the Ekka and took the trailer away, only to pick us up with super short notice on a random street in Brisbane city. I couldn't have done it without her help and support, best groom!

It wasn't our day in the sj, with 2 uncharacteristic rails down that I'm chalking up to a subpar warm up - which I can only learn from and prepare better for next time. But Fella got all the pats, he was a professional - in his stall, waiting to jump, in the busy Ekka main arena, and walking through the city.

Remember - win, lose, or draw...pat your horse and thank them for trying, we wouldn't be here without them 💕

Bounce baby, bounce 🦘

Gridwork day for the big orange 🍊 bounce -bounce & 1 stride (with some guiding poles to fix our left drift...always a work in progress)

Gridwork is so important to a horses jumping routine. Instead of just pushing higher and faster, teach them to look, to think for themselves and use their bodies correctly. I want my horses going into any jump with confidence in themselves, not just blindly listening to me (because as we all know sometimes the horse just needs to sack the jockey 😂)

Today's grid started low with some ground rails and a cross to get our individual striding worked out (thanks Kendall for watching and helping adjust) the gradually built our way up to 3 cross rail fences to keep him straight, then changed to verticals to keep him careful and then finally adding a one stride with guiding poles to help encourage his right shoulder to pick up.
The height wasn't massive, and it shouldn't be, it was just enough to get him to pay attention, but easy enough that if he made a mistake he could get out of it. And that's the key to confidence, making things challenging, but forgiving.

If you're interested in gridwork lessons for yourself/your horse reach out! You would be amazed what you're capable of 💪🏻

Some arena and trot pole prep to get ready for your Friday!

This week is two sets of 3 x alternating lifted short trot poles in the corner to a medium trot pole _ caveletti line.

Plan is working on engagement, lift and energy in the corner after (or before) a lovely, forward and engaged working trot. Stop the horses from becoming earthbound and toe dragging in and out of corners 💪🏻

Would you try this at home?

2* at Warwick Horse Trials

Something I've never done and never even imagined I could do - let alone train a horse to one.

But that's just how amazing Fella is. Now that he's found his confidence, he doesn't ask if, just when, where and how high. A long way from a horse a couple years back struggling with 80cm questions 🤩

I came in honestly expecting a technical elimination in sj for having too many rails (self doubt massively crept in), instead he finished his highest round to date with only 1 rail (which was 100% rider error).

Cross country was a big test (in height and questions) and he ate it up - trusting me and trying his heart out, even towards the end when I could feel him tire he jumped a tricky combo like he had been doing it all his life. So just 1 rail and some time faults XC to end his 2* debut.

All in all we finished happy, sound, and full of confidence and no matter the outcome I would have been so proud of him. The icing on top was finishing 2nd(!!) in our first 2*.

Huge thanks to B E L R O C K for sponsoring the class and Warwick for holding the event.

And an even more important thanks was to Chrissy Hynard and Caitlan Downes-Saxby both who believed in me when I didn't and kicked my ass in the right direction. I wouldn't have even been there if it wasn't for their support 💕 both of them each had their own amazing events. My friends are my favorite part of eventing 🥰

Also thank you to Rebel Morrow for being such an amazing coach and believing in Fella and I (and all my other ponies) and constantly making sure I am a better rider than I was the day before. Pushing me and encouraging me at the same time 💪🏻💪🏻

Year of the horse on fire 🔥 🐎

Throwback to the Lowood Show a couple weekends back with the impeccable Mr Manny - who walked away with reserve champion thoroughbred, 1st ridden thoroughbred and 1st off the track thoroughbred. Along with a heap of other ribbons.

Not bad for his first show! I had to pretend to know what I was doing in the hack ring and Manny just showed off his natural movement and 'look at me' presence. He's a natural - doesn't matter if you take him in the show or dressage ring, he will turn heads. AND he's a bloody cute little jumper.

Now that we've had our first show under our belts I'm feeling pretty confident to put Manny on the market....though it won't be easy, he's easily flashiest moving thoroughbred I've seen.

Contact me if you're interested or know someone that might be looking. He is Equimillions eligible (new star!) and newcomer eligible 🤩 he won't last quick once he goes on the market but I would love him to go to a forever home where I can keep track of him, no matter what happens I want my otts to have a soft place to land 💕

Home. Happy. And completely exhausted.

Roller coaster of emotions for mine AND Fellas first ever 2* where we came away with a shiny red 🥈 ribbon 😱

More to come, but big thanks for Warwick Horse Trials for hosting another fab event.
Both pony and rider are exhausted....pony less so as he just galloped around the paddock like he was trying to win the Melbourne Cup...but safe, healthy and soon ready for our next challenge 💪🏻

Thank you hugely to Chrissy Hynard and Caitlan Downes-Saxby for talking me up when I talked myself down, and giving me that push to step out of my comfort zone. Good friends help you up, better friends kick your ass 🤣

Now for a hot bath, a cold cider, and a long sleep 😴

Little Manny had his first cross country outing today 🤗

Sorry Mr Manny hasn't had many updates lately, we have been slowly chipping away in the background at his foundations - in between getting Freddie and Fella competition fit (and me working 🫠)
Manny has been coming leaps and bounds, he is proving to be such a trier and such an amazing mover. Plus he's got an adorable little jump to him.

Today was just an easy introduction to cross country fences (plus an introduction to wide open spaces, dog parks, and loose horses running around 🤣) he put on his brave pants to walk through the water, pop over the ditch and even jump a few little logs 💕

Our next step is trying to find a low key show to put him in and then he'll be on the market to find a new home 🥺

Never thought 1* would start to feel small, but the ginger ninja just keeps getting better 🤩

Snaps from .aizzeddin_photos from the .co CCN a couple weekends ago.

Fella had a lovely run around his home course to finish a respectable 14th (2 rider rails in SJ cost us a placing, but I can't fault anything Fella did for me). Next event is possibly warwick or TEG - just tossing up the pros and cons of the events as I feel like Fella doesn't need a heap of 1* runs, but needs some variety in courses.

Freddie was also there and had his first 80cm start. A good dressage and show jumping had us in good spirits for xc, but unfortunately a green moment XC saw us parting ways. But that's the sport, horses aren't machines and we have to adapt and help them. Both of us walked away fine and will reroute to Warwick in June to build back some confidence before Freddie goes on the market 💲

Both boys have recovered well, even had a fun dressage day the weekend after, so I'm glad they are fit and confident.
