Hillside Eventing 'Sarah Roberts-Tomkins'

Hillside Eventing 'Sarah Roberts-Tomkins' Competition, schooling & producing. Experience To CCI3* aims 4*. seeking owners to join our small f I train & compete adv/med dressage and regular out BS

my name is sarah (Roberts) Tomkins, i have many years of experience starting on breaking yards at 14years old and worked for Andrew Heffernan and Dave Quigley, i then worked for Ran Arbel for 3yrs as head girl producing top quality young horses and after that went to Westpoint stud to learn AI in the summer and breaking and producing young stock in the winter. after having my daughter i started wo

rking from home doing freelance riding and teaching and progressed to having more horses in at home for schooling, sales and competition and i still love every minute of it. i have competed up to CCI 3*L/ Advanced AND WOULD REALLY LIKE TO PROGRESS FURTHER. I am a holder of the prestigious pc 'A' test and pride myself in working with my horses professionally and in complete harmony, treating each horse to its own, I have found myself taking on many problem horses over the years all of which have settled very well in our environment and made complete turn arounds in their training.

Bill and Judy’s Jack cruised around Solihull BE FOD for 4th place
6months off over winter and some extra weight to get off him and he’s back out. Top job by BEDE events, some good alterations to the course and very good efforts on the ground.
Kim also achieved her first BE rosette today which was fabulous and thank you for your help aswell.
Millie made the outing with Els first time on grass for Ellie, promising dressage and a fabulous clear SJ just needed to look at all the xc fences first but to be expected with our lack of training on her own but that’s inexperienced horses and they have a long way to go but remain positive.

What a week we have just had, started with 2 successful sales to the first viewings of the ponies to such lovely homes and fab little 8yo jockeys

Friday lunch we trucked to for our first ever stay away Bs show but it was needed for various reasons- Quickie has had a very slow start to his education first my shoulder when he was first broken then I had the 2 children, brought him back as a 7yo and had a good summer training and getting our self’s going together for him to then break his pedal bone, he had 10months off more because I wanted to make sure he had more time than needed and came back before Christmas but it’s so hard to get the work in because I have to put payers first which means Qu**ky barely gets the attention he needs so he’s done 5 shows jumping 85 and 90 and somewhat spaced out so this weekend was about really finding what’s in the tank and what we are working towards. I don’t think we actually jumped a clear with 4 flts in his 90 and 95 and 1m but his technique has really improved and I have come out grinning like a Cheshire Cat each time, he even finished with a 105 memorial cup class and no it wasn’t great 2 poles and a stop because he’s glaring at something (shadows we think) and scorching heat and mental exhaustion I should imagine but the actual fences felt fab and I’m mega excited for what we can get up to if I just commit and prioritize more time to my boy, it has been so good to spend time with my homebred properly.

Millie’s mission was consistency with Ellie and she was outstanding for the first two days but found the heat and 3 days to much yesterday but that shouldn’t take away just how awesome she was being placed with a few clear rounds and stepping up to 95s which is a huge achievement from just 6weeks ago.

Dukey boy finished Millie’s weeknd with her first 105 in 2years with a clear and place and unreal clear round around a very up to height course.

Can not wait for the next one, we are hooked
Horses and friends all weekend thank you to the girls for all your help, laughs and company xx

Owner shares available to come along and enjoy relaxing days out watching Raff dance 🕺

Last night I advertised Raff again not because I want to but because the lorry & the yard beeds needs maintenance and such as life I need these to keep everything going and I need finances to keep it on the road but this morning I headed out with a friend for a lesson with Rhiannon and the entire ride made me emotional, the development in this horse, the natural ability he has and the high that I get from riding him is surreal and I love it and want more and more, he really is a horse of a life time even if he is taking me on a different journey.

So…
is there anybody out there who loves dressage, loves watching and wants to be part of that journey? In desperation to keep him I am looking for someone to buy a 25% share with no livery costs but maybe contributions towards competitions to be a shared owner and come along with me to training and shows who will love being on the floor watching as much as I love being in the saddle. I am sociable and enthusiastic whilst Raff is a dream boat to handle and cuddle so days out are more than enjoyable.
If you know of anybody you think would love to join our journey up the levels of dressage then please show them this post.

In today’s lesson we are working on the half pass, Raff is scoring 70% elementary and just needs a couple more scores to his record for summer qualifications having recently been to the winter Nationals. He is ready for medium and already has a change so I am positive that advanced medium will be on the list very soon.

Please share with those who may be interested

Regards
Sarah

My legs are aching after yesterday, when I think I can cram everything into a day…

2 hours up to Kelsall to XC school Jack and Ellie, home in time to meet Millie’s freelance rides so she’s straight onto next job, I’m straight in the car to ride yogi and Luna in a Jon clinic before coming back home to ride some horses here 🙈
Only one video all day but YOGi was blooming brilliant 😍

Another day out but dressage with Raff today at Radfords Equestrian10yr BD show
Elementary 5 first thing this am with over 70% to take the win then a 3 hour gab of eating and talking and catching up before our first Medium which after this morning clear round I was really looking forward to it but unfortunately with a prize giving happening and Raffs mentality to atmosphere it went completely out the window unfortunately but Iv put the work in and had words with myself after the nationals and the difference was amazing, we felt a team again this morning

Great to have my soonsors sponsoring the event and Martha did me a little reel which I love along with Deb being momma Deb and helping me.
