Easter weekend was a gorgeous few days of sunshine and family. I find it hard to take time out as I really love my work but I also cherish the time I get to spend in our home fields with no rushing about.

I had 48 hours where the only horses I saw were my own and I actually saw my human family. April 5th was Easter Day this year, but also my dads birthday. As the first birthday since his death we took the dogs and his ashes for a walk across the beach at west wittering where he loved to be in his boat. He is now resting at sea, and I can’t think of a better place.

Then Monday was a day spent lazing with our animals. Freckles my overgrown Labrador and is more than happy to sunbathe with me on top. We also had a team meeting with the girls where are the worlds problems were put to right.

Bella voted for unlimited grazing, Mirabelle put in a request for more bum scratches and princess Penny wondered when she was going to be upgraded to queen of the farm…

The pointers picnicked and there was sunshine. ☀️
Very lucky to have so much love ❤️

I am so enjoying this spring and supporting a host of young horses in training.

This week I’ve seen - a pair of 2 year olds doing their first forays into groundwork - teaching them the basics of leading and following the rope.

Then I’ve worked with a few 3 year olds where I am assisting their owners in backing their horses themselves. These talented youngsters have fabulous homes where priority is given to understanding and education, rather than getting it done. The result is a clutch of insanely talented but well regulated horses who I can’t wait to get under saddle this summer.

And finally I’m lucky enough to be schooling in a couple of horses who I started last year. They had a lovely first season hacking, a winter off and are now restarting and starting on their ‘further education!’

Just keep bringing the sunny days and filling them with horses - and I think I’m the luckiest lady in England!

Christmas Roundup!

I’ve been useless at the he socials this Christmas as I’ve been trying to do the work/life balance thing for a change and concentrate on family….. I’m still in training to really forget work for more than about 10 hours… !!!

But luckily concentrating on family for me mostly means more time with our gorgeous DOGGOs and PONIEs!!!

I’ve been making the most of having .cars.fast.ponies on hand to take the girls out in pairs. Mirabelle has been to the arena for the first time - wonderfully boring exercise despite the wind! She’s 2.5 years old now - and is SO READY to have the mental stimulus.

Penny has been wearing a saddle for in hand work and popping out with freckles for walks.

Sadly freckles got some bad news from the vets just before Christmas - damage down to his stifles in a trailer accident 3 years ago has come back to bite us. His right hinf had always been where we’ve concentrated, which had a ligament strain at the time. Well the ligaments in that look great, but the meniscus attatchment has some changes. More upsettingly his Left Hind received bone trauma which is now upsetting him, and suddenly with two sore back legs we’ve lost all the muscle he needs to support the joint. So we’ve medicated and it’s rehab time, and accepting he will have limitations. Think I’ll use this as the prompt to work towards bridleless riding with the giant - something lower impact but still a challenge for us.

And Lewis and I have been spending lots of time working on the plans for our future farm purchase - so much to tell you soon once we’ve signed on thr dotted line!!!

In amongst all of this the dogs have brought joy by truely ADORING Christmas 🎄

Another happy horse and owner!

Jazz has gone from a horse who was dangerously reactive to a mare confident in herself and in us. TRT method WORKS!

Jazz is the confident and relaxed horse her owner dreamed of. And if they can do it - so can you!!

I think Norma may be my favourite role I’ve ever done - she’s so strong, opinionated, fiery and then this is contrasted with ethereally beautiful music showing her doubts and fears in private.
To get an inspiring character alongside something which musically sets my imagination on fire is the unicorn of opera! Thankyou Bellini and thankyou for providing a super production in which I can go wild!
Last night tonight and I’m going to
Miss this one! (Looking forward to photos which are better than this selfie…)

What a privilege to have worked alongside Sam and Iolo for their transformation ! Iolo's journey from frustration to harmony is a testament to Sam's willingness to develop her skills and her compassion. Their partnership has blossomed, and it's been amazing to see them thrive in the arena and beyond. Feeling grateful for the opportunity to play a small part in their story.

Iola has gone from an extremely emotionally volatile horse - unrideable as he would quickly resort to bucking or rearing unable to cope in the world. Now the pair are hacking for hours in the woods and dancing together in the arena.

Anyone can change their horse’s story - you don’t have to be a professional, but we are out there to support you along the way if you need it!

The whole point of TRT training is to be able to cope with whatever life throws at you…

Working with a lovely thoroughbred Vinnie we worked whisky a horsebox was winched up above his head , noisy and distracting but Vinnie was easily able to stand on a loose rope and stay present.

You can’t desensitise your horse to everything in the world, but you can teach them to be able to cope better than nature intended…. Giving them self management tools and earning their believe that everything is fine with you present.

😳 if you swipe right there are a few gory photos… 😳

I still to this day have no idea the cause of the puncture wound but luckily it had lovely clean edges, magically didn’t hit any important structures and a month on she’s sound and practically blemish free.

But for a couple of weeks there was ALOT of cold hosing and cleaning each day!!

Oh Mirabelle just making my dreams come true!!

I do this for a living but sitting astride Mirabelle for the first time tonight was SO special as she is our first homebred

She’s just 2 - but she’s a big girl! I’ve been clambering all over her for a few weeks and she’s felt ready for a few sessions BUT I was very responsible and waited until .cars.fast.ponies was around just in case …..

Anyway, she stood there, completely unfazed and thought she’d crack on with grazing thankyou very much. Perfect behaviour!

I am SO incredibly grateful to Charlotte Bishop for her calm, empathetic handling of my horses today.

Both Bella and Freckles regularlyhave the dentist unseated, but neither baby had ever had a visit.

I was specifically recommended Charlotte for her lovely way with the horses.

Penny is incredibly sensitive and vet phobic so sedation is not the easy option for her. I set her up for success as best I could by practicing bridlong this week and working on bitting so she was used to something in her mouth.

She had stood in pre visit for 90 minutes so she was completely settled.
She was initially pretty concerned with Charlotte and her tools arrivi on the yard, but watching freckles go first in the nextdoor stable gave her 30 minutes to acclimatise.

Charlotte then let me introduce the gag to Penny, so only one stressor at a time, which was all I was expecting to manage this visit. Penny was super obliging as i faffed with the leather and straps, but she had a moment of serious fear when she felt her teeth against the metal plate. Her neck went rigid and she activated her brace and backwards posture. Luckily all the work we’ve done to come out of that habit kicked in after 10 seconds and she was able to use her brain again. Charlotte was happy to let Penny and I chill for 10 minutes, we just chatted whilst i adjusted the gag in her jaw with Charlotte’s advice.

Finally I felt Penny was settled enough to proceed as which point we came out of the box into a bigger open space to open the gag up and for Charlotte to take over. Again a slight panic as the gag was opened - Pennys body literally went rigid but Charlotte led her around keeping her thinking forward, slowly opening her mouth little by little as she acclimatised. I reckon this whole process took about 15-20 minutes letting her get really comfortable. When Charlotte actually started rasping Penny was quite happy to stand still and let her teeth be examined. I decided the manual tools were enough for this first visit as it had been the most positive experience I ever could have hoped for.

You only get one first time - make sure you’re
Happy with whoever’s treating your horse

I wish I spent my time preparing horses to be successful at loading rather than acting as a trauma counsellor

This was the theme of a Recent post from - and it SO TRUE!

I am delighted that I have the skills and tools to help unpick the problems - some of which come about due to accidents or bad journeys which are completely out of owners control.

BUT so SO SO SO often I am helping when a horse has been rushed and unprepared for the task so now has a fear response. Something completely avoidable with a little more forward planning.

These lovely photos are of a clients horse having huge yawn releases as she started to feel comfortable and in control loading after having been terrified by the process.

If you are lucky enough to have an untravelled youngster - please set them up for success by taking abit more time and giving them as many practices as they need to feel confident BEFORE you need to travel.

It will save you paying someone like me to come at a later date.
