In another win for the team, the lovely Jess competed at her first ever dressage day on Dan at Mudgee Dressage a couple of weeks ago.

Jess only started riding 2 years ago and through dedication and hard work she has scored an Impressive 62.4 in her first ever test!

I'm super proud of her and Dan and can't wait to see what the next dressage comp brings, although I suspect I'll lose her to the dark side (eventing/jumping) before too long 🥰

In November last year I picked up a lovely grey thoroughbred called Cherry Blue from trainer Kylie Kennedy. I had intended to keep him for myself because he is such a nice horse!

Unfortunately for me, Kate Biviano decided she liked him too. This is Blue doing his first combined training last weekend.

I'm very proud of both of them 🥰

Congratulations to Amy Brennan on coming 8th in a huge class at Tamworth International Eventing at AELEC on the weekend.

Amy rode my beautiful lesson horse Dan (Antiguan) after her horse had to be scratched.

A few firsts for this pair. Amy rode Dan for the first time last week, did her first ODE and jumped him for the first time at the event. A true testament to Dan's incredible temperament, he went double clear in the cross country and only a couple of unlucky rails in the show jumping saw them miss out on coming third!

One very proud coach ☺️

This is worth a read and so very true!

The good ones take time.

Watch quietly from the sidelines as those who try to shortcut with bridles, bits and gadgets become unstuck at the first sign of a challenge.

Get used to sitting with your head in your hands having to take deep breaths or halting in the middle of the arena to stare at the ceiling for fear that frustration will take the reins and undo everything you’ve worked on.

Allow him to question, allow him to protest. You have to be in this together, it has to be a partnership not a dictatorship so he has to know that he has a say and that you are listening. Mutual understanding and respect should be the foundations on which you build.

Be prepared to taste your arena surface.

Don’t allow others to convince you a “more experienced” jumper would suit you better or “he might never come right”. Trust your gut. You saw something in him, so work you ass off to prove it.

Do not be swayed by trainers encouraging you to just “try” the draw reins or the bigger bit. Don’t succumb to the pressure to “teach him whose boss”. When the clock is ticking, and the stride just isn’t there you have to trust each other, that isn’t going to come from force.

Give this horse your heart, I’m not saying he won’t break it because he will, but when the day comes that he accepts you into his, he really will go to the ends of the earth for you. But until then, have tissues and a playlist of sad songs at the ready.

And just when you think you can’t take one more ride, when you feel like you’ve given every part of yourself to this and you can’t physically, mentally or emotionally manage anymore. Keep going. Nobody said this was going to be easy...but it might just be worth it, because the most valuable thing you can give a horse is time...
..and the good ones take time.
