Beautiful girl shining in the sun today despite the wind.

She’s going into the vets next week to have her sarcoid removed and is going to have a couple weeks off for the recovery from that so we’re just winding down the workload a little bit so that’s not too much of a shock to the system for her. She is looking well atm though, pleased with progress so far ☺️

Beautiful Maple has settled so wonderfully into our fantastic livery yard up in York.

It’s been funny moving back to uni but with a horse this time! Still feeling so grateful and lucky to be able to call this lovely horse mine, she really hasn’t put a foot wrong since moving, she must be the calmest 5YO ever!

So excited to properly get cracking with her now she’s had a chance to settle and we’re ticking the essentials off the list like having dentist and physio out etc. Shes taken a major liking to polework which is perfect to help build up those muscles 💪

Will try my best to keep you all updated with her progress 🍁 ❤️

Introducing Maple!! 🍁

I’ve been lucky enough to finally be in a position to buy my own horse, and after a very long and slightly stressful horse search I’ve purchased this absolutely gorgeous 5YO mare.

Maple is about 16.3hh at the moment and still very green, she was lightly backed as a 4yo then turned away until just 7 weeks ago and she is already learning so fast. Still a long way to go and a lot of work to put in but I think she has lots of potential and is just the sweetest natured baby with a great attitude.

Excited to see what the future holds for us, we will just be focussing on getting some muscle on her and letting her see the world out hacking for a bit but will hopefully have lots of updates on her progress to share with you all.

We brought her home on Tuesday, then got a great saddle fitted to her by the lovely Kay Houghton yesterday and then we’ll be heading up to York together on Saturday, lots of change for a baby but she’s handled it so well so far!

Feeling really lucky and grateful to everyone who helped make this happen, couldn’t be more thankful!

Ewan and I took Prim to Acklam show a few months ago, she was a massive success! The judge absolutely loved her and was so complimentary.

It was Ewan’s first ever competition and he did so well winning one of his classes and coming 3rd in the other 🥇 🥉

I decided to keep him on the lead rein just as Prim was very excited to be out and about again and I didn’t want her to run off with him 🙈

It was a really fun experience and think Prim really appreciated getting out and about even though she’s now enjoying a slightly more relaxed life than back in her teamchasing days.

Don’t recommend trying to do a ‘lap of honour’ running in riding boots 😂

First competition, first red frilly 🥰

I also did a class on her and she won that too 🥇 🏆

And popped round the little 60cm with just 4 faults

What a clever pony ❤️

Think she was pretty pleased with herself… and so was Ewan 😂

🇲🇳 There have been a few people asking me about my plans to compete in the Mongol Derby this year. Unfortunately I was unable to raise enough funds to pay for the entry fee and so I am sadly unable to go. I wanted to assure everyone who was kind enough to donate to me that the funds have been donated to the National Autistic Society in line with my original plans to raise money for them through my participation in the race. I want to thank everyone for their support, your contributions still made a big difference to someone’s life ❤️

with Blitz and Foxy yesterday. Blitz was surprisingly an absolute angel coming 2nd and 4th in his classes. Foxy got some really lovely positive comments from the judge, just struggled with the big atmosphere a bit so no placings this time. Well done to for 2nd in the 90 with Woody :)

Took me nearly 2 hours to de-fluff the pony… I’ll probably be finding her hair in random strange places for months now
