My Winter motivation is locked in & what a timely reminder of what I can achieve

Back in 2017 on an 8 year old stallion with just 43 rides in total under his belt....and off we went to a Preliminary dressage competition.

I've entered a Winter competition locally in July, details and which horse I'll share at a later date😊

Couldn't be prouder of my students & Sponsored Riders Lil & Ruby;

They competed at their first ever Stockmans Challenge yesterday. Mum Emily and I chatted about how well behaved both horses were and what a great environment it was to expose horses to...with absolutely ZERO expectations for any ribbons as it was a first for everyone.

➡️Lilly on a green broke Appaloosa Netti, who she has trained herself from very first ride
➡️And Ruby on her gorgeous little pony Zeke who had absolutely no forward button when I first met them

They only started learning how to crack a stockwhip 4 weeks ago....out of a class of 17 in their level Lil WON the Whip cracking & Ruby came second

Ruby & Zeke WON their group - overall Champions - with a 2nd in Obstacles a 2nd in Whip Cracking & a third in Drywork

What an absolutely stellar effort from this team 👏

Every horse deserves to be loved by a little girl💞

We are so delighted with this gorgeous pairing
And seriously isn't Ruby living the life we all dreamed of as little girls!?

Now the proud owner of little Teddy (Gamble On RedTed) who is living on a beautiful property with lots of wonderful friends

I know I'm so looking forward to this journey of partnership, connection and learning 🙌 😊
