Penfold 🖤 and Raymond 🩶 without the luxury of owners and backers, Emma and I decided that we needed to focus on finding horses that we loved to ride then make them the best they could be. First we found Ray then 10 months later Penfold. And off we went doing our thing 🙌🏻 with a small, but perfectly formed, support group.
I can honestly say the last three years have been the best, these two Iberian horses 🇪🇸 have been an absolute pleasure to train, to care for and to love. Both wildly different but both so talented.

After a very long time out it was lovely to take Carol’s Spider 🕷️ back out.
He was good boy 🧡 winning the first Novice and then 3rd in the next, just a little ring rusty after such a long time out of competing and a bit shocked at being dragged back out for a second test! 🤣
Thanks to everyone at Aster Horses and Neil Lennon Photography 📸 for a lovely morning, and if you haven’t tried the pizza 🍕 van… do it!!!!!
Thanks to Emma Butler - Coaching for Confidence who always turns our horses out so beautifully 🧡

After an amazing 5 years, our wonderful Charlie is leaving us. We are now looking for some additional help on the yard on a Sunday, ideally all day but would consider mornings for the right person, as well as ad hoc cover for holidays and competitions.
We are a small yard with between 6-7 competition horses, with a mixture of some living in and some out in the summer.
We are a tidy yard with excellent routines and high standards.
This job has worked alongside college students providing excellent experience for those studying horse care or management. Or perfect as a part-time position as there is additional hours most weeks of wanted.
Our horses are polite and mannerly, the yard is compact mainly covered, meaning protection from the worst of the weather.
We do have one stallion but he doesn’t know it 😂 and full support and training can be given to develop the right person’s confidence in dealing with stallions and competition horses.
Usual yard jobs - mucking out, all beds are rubber matted, most with auto waterers.
Filling nets.
Getting ready and turning out and bringing in.
Poo picking.
Tacking up and untacking.
Grooming and or washing off.
For the right person training for formal exams could be provided.
While predominantly we are a dressage focused yard, Emma also does showing and is exceptional at turnout and would be happy to share her turnout talents.

The best possible outcome.
Thank you everyone from the bottom of my heart ❤️ without each and everyone of you taking the time and trouble to share and post to social media, to print out and put up posters and to spread the word this would never have happened.
I simply can’t tag the people that have been involved directly because there are too many of you.
Thank you Mead vets in Dartford for the best phone call of my life!
