Really pleased with how Dee is going 😊
Dee came in for backing and is now riding away nicely. I like to give breakers a positive start to their ridden education by keeping them as relaxed as possible throughout the backing process.

I work with every horse differently as I am a form believer that there is no one right way to do horses, and that our methods should be adapted to suit their individual needs.

Lovely day for a hack 🏇

A mixed day at BD today with Tommy.

I went today with the aim of trying to get more consistency in the canter, as this is Tommy's weakest pace currently.

First up was novice 3. We had a positive start but I totally fell apart early on in the test when I almost rode a 20m circle instead of a 15m circle 🙈 such a small and silly mistake, which really didn't matter in the grand scheme of things, but instead of moving on to the next movement I couldn't stop thinking about that silly mistake (even sillier that I did actually realise just about in time, so wasn't actually marked down for the size of the circle!!). As a result I over rode the rest of the test creating tension and silly mistakes. I was so annoyed with myself, these mistakes reflected in our score of 62%.

Between tests I sat down and beat myself up for a bit, before realising that that wasn't terribly productive 😂 I then spent some time thinking about how I could ensure I didn't make the same mistakes in the second test!

Novice 5 was much better, I managed to put the first test behind me and despite a couple of green moments it was a much cleaner test and Tommy really tried for me. The judge clearly agreed as we came away with 68.8%, a personal best for Tommy and I as a combination 😀

Huge thanks to Lake Farm for running these shows.
And as always to Tommy's owners Elsa and Jo Burch for giving me the ride.

Very happy to come home to this this afternoon after completing the Centre10 course.

It was a really interesting course which has really changed how I manage my own goals and work with my horses, as well as helping me develop as a coach.
I really enjoyed looking at coaching from a different perspective and really focusing on how mindset can have such a massive effect on performance.

Dee had her first little walk under saddle today, what a clever girl!

Abi (Dee's owner) has owned her since a youngster and was keen to be involved and if possible be the one to sit on for the first time and I'm so glad we could make that happen for her 😀

Sometimes this can be difficult to make happen as backing a horse requires good communication (and trust) from both the rider and ground person in order to give the horse a good experience, but having known Abi for a long time I was happy we could work well together.

Backing is such an important part of the horses education and can make or break their career, so it is important to take an individual approach. Just like children, some take longer than others and they each have their own quirks.

Arthur has had a busy day at work; riding, making feeds and giving Molly some tips while she was riding 👶🐴

Bosco looking wonderful as ever, can't wait to get back in the ring with him 😃

We've been quietly working away getting both of us fit again and getting him nice and supple.

Tilly is feeling fantastic at the moment 😃

After a lovely week away, it's lovely to come back to the sunshine ☀️

Been busy the last few days getting the horses at my yard back up together as well as getting back out freelancing catching up with my lovely clients.

I have just 1 space left for physio treatments in April, so if you are hoping to book in please get in touch sooner rather than later.

Days like this I feel so lucky to call this my life. 🐴

Taboo has done such a good job at adapting to being a child's pony I thought she deserved a new rug!

I couldn't not get her the blunicorns rug from Ponyo Horsewear, she looks adorable and stood beautifully with Arthur for a photo 💕

Lovely day at Lake Farm BD today with Jo Burch's Tommy.

The first test we didn't get our warm up as they were running a little early, Tommy did his best but the lack of warm up really showed in the canter work where he just dropped behind my leg and became fussy in the contact.
Despite this he still came away with a respectable 65% which I was pleased with considering.

I used the warm up for my second test to make sure that we didn't encounter the same issues, riding lots of transitions and changes of rein to ensure I could keep him in front of my leg and keep him even in both sides. This paid off, and despite a few green moments we came away with 67% coming 2nd overall and 1st in our section.

This is only mine and Tommy's second competition together, and only my second time out since having Arthur 🙈 I am still a little rusty in the ring and have a few things to work on for me but overall a good day out 😁

Sadly Bosco had to be withdrawn due to transport issues, but we will keep our focus and be ready for next month 💪

Lovely to see some sunshine today 🌞

A nice reminder that horses isn't always mud, wind and rain!!!

Colin was being a bit of a pickle for his owner today, so I got to have a play.

It's not often I get to pop a fence these days, but I always have fun when I do!!

We had some fun at the yard yesterday for the end of half term.

The liveries had a great time with some mounted games, followed by chase-me-charlie.
