To all the Maizys in this world... thank you 🤗

I wish everyone could, at least once in their lifetime, have a Maizy in their life.
She might not be the horse who wins Grand Prix classes in dressage or showjumping, or the flashiest in the show ring, but she is dependable and truly one of a kind.

She’s the horse you know you can trust with your life, 100%.
She’s the horse you can switch off on and simply enjoy the ride with—without worrying about traffic, open spaces, or any obstacles you might pass.
She’s the horse who settles your nervous system and makes you feel better after a hard day.
She’s the horse you can lay your newborn baby on, and she just knows she needs to take care of them.
She’s the horse other horses look to for reassurance when they’re learning.
She’s a kindred spirit, and I feel incredibly lucky to have had her in my life for the last 15 years—and, hopefully, for many more to come.

Everyone loves having a horse they can achieve great things with in competition. But I think horses like Maizy are the real gold mines—the ones who bring the most joy, comfort, and happiness to our lives 💕

Feel free to share stories of your own Maizy in the comments below. I’d love to hear all about them 🐎🩷

I've been rather quiet on here recently and that's due to the arrival of my little girl last week. Starting her young. My beautiful daughter Elodie-Scarlett on my Maizy mai at less than 5 days old. Hopefully the next rider and horse trainer in the making 😉 🩷

Ah, that's where the towel went 🙄... Nothing safe from this monster now 😂 everything needs investigating with her teeth. Great job desensitising herself though 🤷‍♀️ saves me a job.

❗️Cancellation Policy Update❗️

Hi everyone ☺️
Just a quick note to help keep everything running smoothly for both you and me. As many of you know, the freelance aspect of my business, I plan my days carefully around confirmed bookings and travel between yards. When rides are cancelled it's really hard to fill that space - and it does have an impact on my income and schedule.

So, to keep things fair and consistent going forward:

🐴 Once a ride is booked in, it's chargeable in full, no matter how much notice is given.

🐴 I invoice weekly for ALL booked rides, *including* any that are cancelled. You will be charged for the time I allocated for your booking (e.g I was booked to ride multiple horses in that booking)

🐴 The only exceptions are if I decide to cancel (for example, high winds, icy ground/ frozen arena, injury) or your horse is lame.

🐴 A bit of rain or cold weather won't stop us! 🌧❄️

I really appreciate everyone's understanding - this policy just helps me plan my days, keep things fair for all clients, and ensures your horses get the care and consistency they deserve.

Thank you all for you ongoing support!💛

(Effective immediately, this applies to all bookings going forward.)

Apologies for the radio silence, I've been a bit rubbish with using this page recently 🙈

But here is Mr Ralphy, Susanne Tucker and Charlotte Tucker 's gorgeous 3yr old warmblood, having his first proper sit on this evening, well I actually sat on him briefly yesterday 😅 but didn't get a photo until tonight 🙈

He's only in for being lightly backed as he's only 3, he'll be turned away when he goes home to mature a bit more, before his education is continued next year. Been super duper on the long lines and taken everything in his stride so far 🦄

Well, today marks a very important day in my history 😂 in almost 30 years on this planet, today was the day I lost my dressage-virginity! Obviously always understood the importance of flatwork for our jumping etc, but I've just never done a dressage test in my life... 😅 🙃 Corrina and Lauren's lovely boy JJ did 2 fantastic tests! And the icing on the cake - we got a 2nd and a 1st 🥳 68.6% first test and 70.65% second test. Considering how nervous I was 🙈 I think those aren't bad results for our first dressage together and we only had a week to prepare for today. He's such a scrumptious boy 🥰 and so chilled about it all. In fact he spent most of the time sunbathing between tests 😂. Katie Adamson

Really enjoying training this lovely chap at the moment 😍 he's so handsome, and just so super clever!
Just in for some schooling and teaching him to be less reactive to his surroundings. So far he's been a star 🌟

Photo is a bit blurry due to dirty lense 🙈, but had to share this moment of, not so little anymore, 3yr old Lizzie having her first, unexpected sit on today (hence no ba****ck pad!) 🙈 she was so perfect on the long reins and laying over, we decided today was the day 😃. So chilled out. She's done very little considering I only get to work with her 2 days a week and not every week all the time, probably only been doing her for the last month 🤔. She's going to be a little gem 😍
