As a livery yard owner I’m on several livery yard Facebook groups and constantly read all the endless moaning about YOs, liveries, bullying, poor facilities, lack of turn out etc etc!
Whether by luck or design I have wonderful liveries who actually come to the yard to ride and enjoy their horses and, as importantly, genuinely encourage and support each other.

Sam, for complete dedication you deserve a medal and are proof that hard work does pay off. Placing well this year at BE90 and stepping up to 100, qualifying for the Championship 90 at Scone and storming round the xc. 2 double clears at BS 90 and 100 this weekend. Well done!

When stresssge becomes dressage! Rowena winning her class at Totleywells , and also regaining her confidence jumping the bigger courses too. BE beckons !

Amy has been on a winning streak in all 3 disciplines and passed her PC C+ this weekend. Amazing! ( you can put the gamgee and bandages away now!) And proving Adara is the perfect mother/daughter share, Margaret recently nailed her dressage test with a red frilly.

Tara’s jumping debut this weekend on her new pony was a success with double clears at 60 and 70, qualifying her for PC Spring Festival Fabulous!

Laura and the lovely Nancy producing good tests last weekend. Still more stresssge due to transport issues and scary hairy pony in the warm up but all good in the end!

Katherine and Jessie won their prelim practice test at Rockrose this weekend. The championship classes weren’t meant to be but most importantly Jessie was confident between the boards all weekend. The count down is on till Arena UK!

Not forgetting those who weren’t out competing this weekend but have been working hard at home preparing for future events.

We are not a competition yard and it’s a happy coincidence everyone is achieving their goals at the end of the summer. Well done everyone and keep up the good work!

🎉🎉 Petplan Summer Area Festival Debut! 🎉🎉

The preparation leading up to last weekend was not ideal. During a schooling session in May, Jessie suddenly went lame in front. Nerve blocks couldn’t pinpoint the issue. Cue box rest. Just when we thought she was ready to bring back into work she went lame but this time from behind. Turns out it was cellulitis from some antics in the stable. Thankfully, it was a straightforward fix with Petplan being only 6 weeks away.

Saturday’s Novice Bronze was a test against the elements—literally. The weather wasn’t on our side, and Jessie saw the bogeyman hiding behind the judge’s box. Typically, this would have set Jessie off for the whole test however once she touched the centre line it was game on and did her first ever clean test, scoring the highest individual mark of 72% and finishing overall 2nd with 69% securing her first ticket to Arena UK.

Sunday’s Prelim Bronze was just as good. Another confident test, this time earning the highest individual test score again with 73.57%, and another 2nd overall with 70%—second ticket in the bag!

If you know Jessie, you know she’s a quirky, sensitive mare. She can be a superstar at home, but keeping her composure in the arena has always been the real challenge. This weekend, she proved just what she's capable of. We couldn’t be prouder—and maybe, just maybe, the penny has finally dropped!

Massive thank you to Karen Dewar Dressage for the incredible coaching this past year and Fiona Optimize Vet Chiropractic who works magic on all our horses but in particular Jessie who acrobatics in the field often mean not everything is where its suppose to be.

Bring on Arena UK!

Topaz winning streak continues with 68% to take the win in the Prelim 1. Some 7.5s and her very first 8 with only a 10 minute warm up. This reliable mare has a bright future ahead with whoever is lucky enough to snap her up. We all need a Topaz in our lives!

Our very first full livery left at the beginning of the week. It was such a relief when we moved here to fill that first stable. To run a livery yard requires 365 day, 24/7 commitment and it is lovely to be appreciated. Tom came to us due to owner’s house move and left due to the same reason.
Sorry if you are reading this and thinking there must be a free stable available, that was quickly filled!

SUPER SMART & RELIABLE DRESSAGE/FAMILY HORSE

15.2hh rising 7 yr old mare

Intelligent & trainable attitude with 3 correct and active paces. Scoring & placing well at Prelim. Schooling at novice and starting to introduce some Elementary movements at home. She rides the same at home as she does in the warm up/test.

Green but honest jump. Attended group clinics, arena hires and unaffiliated shows picking up some double clears and placings along the way. Loves her pole work.

XC/arena event schooled. Unphased with ditches, skinnies, steps, water etc

Hacks alone/company. Foot perfect when out to fun rides/hound exercises. Absolutely loves being out and about. Nothing phases her on the road - HGVs, Camper vans, cyclist, farm machinery. Stands to open gates etc.

Snaffled mouth. Never strong or silly. Good to shoe,catch,load,travel,teeth. Clipped all year round. Good with body/face and have previously done legs without sedation but she doesn’t stand still so I’ve started sedating for a quicker and better finish.

Turns out with mares or geldings. Stabled next to stallion, not at all mareish with him.

Knows her strength on the ground so needs firm but fair handling. Can be grumpy and sensitive to touch. I handle her myself both away and at home without issues.

Update to date with teeth/worming/vaccinations.

12.5🥕incl 1.5y K&M saddle, bridle, swish rugs, liveryman harmony plus/classics clippers. No loans or offers.

10* long term, loving home for someone to enjoy endless clinic lessons, fun rides and hacks whilst continuing her dressage education and popping some jumps for fun. Would love to see her out at Pet Plan festivals and progress up the levels!

Lots of pics/videos https://www.facebook.com/media/set?vanity=KatherineBucklex&set=a.9831075880238452

Clean sweep for Topaz and Jessie yesterday 🥇🥇🥇

Topaz picked up 1st place Prelim 4. Break in the canter lost a couple easy marks but overall a much more balanced test.

Jessie kept her cool and didn’t let her nerves get to her to win both Novice 4&5.
