Congratulations Carrie-ann & Rep at Equifest yesterday!💜

After a taxing morning with Fread & worrying us all. Carrie-ann bravely persevered to school Fread on with our lovely friend Becky Twinn. It was evident he wasn’t going to settle for his next class.

Therefore with only minutes to spare there was a very quick turn around with the help of Becky, Paula Mills & Lucy Armstrong to have Rep competition ready instead. He had been taken along for a day out as a companion for Fread.

Well Rep lit up in the Show ring & strutted his stuff to show Fread how it should be done & Carrie-ann rode him beautifully. They went on to take 3rd place in a very strong class of 11 veterans, where at 26 years old he was the eldest.

The judge commended Carrie-ann on how lovely it was to see an older horse in such good condition, well loved & cared for which truly showed, including in the way she rode him too.

Thank you to everyone who helped beforehand & on the day. Also to all of you who turned out to support Carrie-ann & the boys, that was amazing.

Thank you to Uncle Jamie Markham for the great photography!Sadly some supporters had gone by their later class, but some of you were pictured.

We are very proud of them both, they did a lovely individual equitation display & the rosette was well deserved. Xx

Here’s a few pics from the day:

Day 2 Pony School Show day & Gymkhana Winnings!

What a great Show day!
With beginners improving their riding skills & pony care in their first Show, marked out of 10 for each of the sections. From plaiting & turnout through to riding e.g use of aids, riding position, control, partnership & lots more. Finishing the event with their first Handy Pony test-lots of tasks completed on horseback that are not usually in lessons, including posting a letter!

Our more experienced riders competed in their first dressage test. They were marked on e.g riding schooling figures, transitions at set markers, accuracy,straightness, rhythm , before this they were judged on their turnout too.
Then they competed in a timed Showjumping competition!

During the afternoon all riders took part in our Gymkhana, with team games of ride & run with variations & apple bobbing!

Lots of rosettes, certificates & medals were won!
Well done everyone, you all did so well!

1st 3 day Summer Pony School 2026!
Day 1: Welcome to everyone being new pony owners.
After meeting their pony/horses, introductions & yard rules, they’ve had a great day of learning whilst having fun.
They’ve been doing some grooming, stable/field management & pony care. The riding lessons were split for all abilities including learners doing their safety knowledge, basic aids, rising work, learner sitting & rising trots. The more advanced riders were learning a dressage test & jumping. They untacked their ponies/horses and washed them off.
They had a Show preparation & plaiting demo & lecture. Practical -the owners practiced plaiting.
They thoroughly cleaned their tack ready for tomorrow’s Show day & Gymkhana!
After feeding ponies were taken to their fields for the evening. The yard was tidied up.
With a word game to finish, from our lovely New Range Work books!
Here’s one to look at for the more experienced riders, however we have three different levels this week, due to ages & abilities!
Well done new Pony/horse owners! Thank you , Carrie-ann, Karl & team.
