2024/25 season all wrapped up!

Dan and I have had an absolute blast this winter. Bleak, rainy days made better by galloping around in the mud with my best friend ❤️ A stunning sunny day to top it all off last week!

Huge thanks to for being so welcoming. We've had some wonderful days trail hunting, made amazing memories and friends!

Here's to next season!

Yesterday felt like a real reflection of how far I've come with my coaching career - and boy am I proud!

Yesterday hosted their first inter school show jumping competition. I'm privileged to not only be the team coach, but also coach a lot of the competitors who came. I helped out all day but also had a wonderful time watching all my pupils. They all did fabulously, with tones of clear rounds and placings.

I love my job, and to see all the hard work paying off in one day like yesterday was a huge privilege!

Here's to many more years of coaching the next generation ❤️

Beyond proud of my client Sophia for some fabulous riding this weekend.

She had a disheartening round with her first pony but pulled it back to come 2nd in the 60cm and a win in the 70cm! Her first win on Buttons!

She is a pleasure to coach and I could not be more proud of the way she put a bad round behind her and used it to fuel her fire for the next rounds! What an achievement!

One of the lovely young ponies I'm currently schooling working beautifully in the sunshine 🥰 This little horse is so rewarding. He's very sensitive and can get incredibly tense if he doesn't understand a question, so I'm having to work really hard to make sure I'm asking him as clearly and calmly as possible.
The softness and stretch he is showing here has been very hard to achieve (and it doesn't always look like this!) But we are starting to see more of this, less of the tension which is wonderful!

Recent horsey work and fun ❤️

The dark gloomy days are starting to be interspersed with glorious sunny ones, reminding us that spring I round the corner 🌱💐

A lovely client of mine is looking for a new partner in crime. 🐴 She's a quiet, considered and confident rider. Unfortunately her current horse can no longer jump, which she is her passion! Drop me a message if you know of anything to share/loan/buy 💕

What's missing? 🤔

A few weeks ago I decided to try Finn in a different bit (not very different, still a rubber mouth piece), however after about 2 minutes it was clear he wasn't a fan of it!

So, being lazy, I didn't fancy getting off, changing bit, getting back on! So I leant over and undid the cheek pieces and took his bit away! 🙈

We went on to have a lovely relaxed lateral work schooling session, bitless! Tempted to try riding him with a neck rope!

A relaxing morning for my boys, who had the wonderful Emily treat them both.

They are both getting on a little in age and they both had a few niggles. It was lovely to see how they both responded to Emily's calming influence and magic hands!

A day off tomorrow, then I'll attempt to get back into the swing of things with riding!

I've found the last few days frustrating as I've had to cancel lots of work and have been unable to ride my two boys 🐴❄️
But, I've reminded myself that a few days off won't hurt them, or my riding and a few cancelled hours of work doesn't mean financial ruin 😆🫣
Instead I'm walking the dogs in beautiful scenery, drinking lots of tea and being grateful that I have a job I miss doing!

Let's talk about confidence 💭💪

All of us horse riders will have had a confidence knock, it is simply part of the sport. It's how you recover that matters.

A few weeks back I took a tumble out hunting- my first fall off Dan in 7 years of owning him. I thought my confidence remained unharmed as I got back on and jumped some more (including the little hedge pictured) All good, I thought.

Fast forward to Monday when I went out hunting again, and I was more cautious than normal to jump. I realised I'd lost a bit of my confidence to just attack a jump. So I took myself and Dan off to East Byshee yesterday and had a blast round some jumps.

I focused on rhythm, simply keeping us both moving forward into, over and away from the fence. Despite some dodgy jumps (2nd picture!) we both left with full confidence jars ❤️

I'm glad I reacted quickly to the dip in confidence and am looking forward to jumping out hunting again!

My stunning boy and I were back out with the yesterday - another super day despite the mud!

Wearing my new Buttercream winter breeches for the first time. Safe to say they're a winner! Super smart, comfy, warm, waterproof and the all important sticky bum kept me in the saddle this time!

A yard outing this morning to do a spot of polework ❤️
I set up various different pole arrangements and we all had a play around! All ponies and riders were fab!

Super Sunday 😍

A lovely clear round for 2nd place at for me and Finn yesterday! Plus our first outing in the new horsebox!

Very grateful to be able to do what I love day in day out ❤️
