🤠I just wanted to put a post out to inform everyone that I will be officially retiring from equestrian work as from 1st May 2026. So I am fitting in the last of my customers for the last bit of horse training for the rest of April. I will be moving onto a new career and greener pastures. 👋

Thank you to all my previous and current customers. It's been a great career and I have loved helping you all. 🐴💗

🐴I won't be able to take on any new equestrian clients at the moment. I've got a couple on my waiting list and then I'll still continue with my regular customers and horses though. 🐴 I

Sorry, its been a long time since I've posted anything!
Today I done some jumping with Abbey. She was a really good girl. We've been working on her keeping her settled and calm going over poles and she has cone on so well. Today we put the jumps up a bit higher. She stayed calm and no dashing off, but still lots to work on. Very please with her 🏇💞

Apollo is doing very well with his training. His groundwork is very good and he has much more understanding. It wasn't that long ago that we had walk and GO ! Now we've establish a nice walk and a steady trot. Today we got a few strides of canter for the first time on request, which was steady and not pinging off ! 👌
Then I've been doing lots of belly over, with the owner leading him. And today we did it by ourselves 😃 He knew exactly what to do and what I was asking from him 👍
Then also today, I rode him for the first time without the owner leading him. This is about the 3rd time I've sat on him, but the first time he's taking instruction just from me his rider 🏇
Such a lovely boy and the owner has a great bond and relationship with him. He is confident and listens. 🐴💞

🐴 Yesterday I was asked to help with Lady at the mounting block. She had got in a habit of moving her bum to the side or fidgeting. So I broke it down in stages for her and gave lots of reward. And she stood nicely at different mounting blocks. Then the owner and her friend had a go too, and Lady walked up nicely and stood while they got on 👌😊

🐴Backing young Rosie 🐴 She was sat on about a year ago, by the owner, and been doing bits of groundwork since then but this is the first she has had a rider and asking her to move forward hy herself. She was great! Very trusting just sometimes a little confused (which is absolutely understandable) All the groundwork has really paid off of what the owner had previously done with her and she stands still very well. A lovely, sweet mare I look forward to continue her backing and training 😊🏇

🐴 This is the gorgeous Ruby. 4 years old. She was very lightly backed by her owner and I have continued her training. Now she does a lovely walk, trot, canter and hacks out by herself confidently. 💞🐎

🐴 We had some moments when Apollo was confused, rebelling or trying to eat the grass. But he is very negotiable and I tried to make it clear for him to understand... and we got there. Walking around nicely then had a few trots too 👌
