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

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 😍

🌱 Just the Beginning 🌱

There’s something incredibly special about starting a young horse. That first saddle, that first ride—it’s not just a milestone; it’s the foundation of everything to come.

Backing isn’t about "getting on and going." It’s about listening, earning trust, and giving each horse the time they need to understand and feel confident with the questions they're being asked. Each step taken setting them up for future success.

These youngsters aren’t being "finished" —they’re being "introduced". This is just the beginning of their journey. Good foundations take time. Watching them grow—physically, mentally, and emotionally—is one of the greatest privileges in the horse world. 💫🐴

🧡 Welcoming little Sienna 🧡

We had a new arrival Thursday 10th July early hours of the morning. My gorgeous showjumper, Lou, gave birth to a stunning filly foal. My very first homebred (and last 😂 after all that stress). Over the moon, she's exactly what I wished for 🌟 🦄 and Lou is being a fantastic mother - her first foal too!

Looking forward to carefully sculpting and developing her into a wonderful young horse in the future 🔮.

It was a beach kinda weekend 💁‍♀️ 🌊 ⛱️ 🏇🏻. Had the pleasure of taking Corrina and Lauren's gorgeous boy JJ to his first beach outing on Saturday with the Bideford Riding Club, he was exceptionally well behaved and thoroughly enjoyed himself. If anyone would like to buy him for me to keep 🤭 I'd be very grateful, he's just the best boy ever! 🙏 🙃

Then this morning, took my miss Maizy for an early morning paddle too 🦄 I do love riding on the beach, something so calming and grounding about it all.

🥰 Reviews like this 😇 I do love working with horses, especially when the progress is so rewarding 🦄

I don't think anyone can say we're fair weather riders 😂

Water training anyone? 🤷‍♀️ 🛥️

If you’re looking for a kind, thoughtful start or further education for your youngster, I have a few openings available. Each horse is worked with as an individual — calm, confident, and happy is always the goal.

Programs are tailored to suit your horse, with a focus on trust, softness, and setting them up for long-term success.

Little Monty is really enjoying learning all these new skills 🦄 he's taking it all in his stride and has been so much fun to work with. He's going home at the end of this week, having learnt all that has been asked for now ☺️ which will hopefully make him alot easier for his owner.

I still have a few spaces left this summer for backing, schooling and young horse handling, please get in touch to discuss your requirements ☺️

Sometimes I still have to pinch myself that this is my job 😅 I know that sounds cliché, but it's true, I feel so grateful that I get to do something I love everyday! Well... Maybe not so much in the winter with all the mucking out 😂
