Huge well done to Laycie Hoffman today!

Laycie is the daughter of one of my best pals and she has never ridden in a dressage saddle let alone a horse trained like Boris or that moves like Boris 🤣

I was a bit worried that he might pop in one of his death spooks but I shouldn’t have been….he looked after his tiny jockey like an absolute pro.

She did brilliantly - brave and kind - a real pleasure to teach ♥️

So operation ‘Battle of the barns’ has commenced…

Ollie started refurbing his block about a week ago and it’s going to look super - bring a bit too competitive I decided I had to do my block too.

My barn has my 3 huge stables and a large open area which is also being refurbished….the barn has been up as long as anyone can remember, the oldest memory of it was a previous livery who had a horse there 45 years ago - so the wood is old and hasn’t been painted in well over 25years aside from a couple of brown walls that a random livery painted about 8 years ago 🤣

I will do the full reveal when it’s finished but here is today’s effort

Thanks for helping, Dad! ♥️

Boris showing us that he does actually have a hind leg in the canter…..

It has taken a long time to strengthen him in the canter work - to get him really stepping under and adjustable - hopefully now the canter is really starting to come together we can start to fix his sticky R2L change because it’s still unreliable - this is why I am keeping him at medium and AdvMed for the winter season - to solidify this work because he is soooo close to PSG - as soon as we have the mechanics of the right to left change he will be ready because the aid is there and he is willing and on the button….just doing it wrong 😑 🤷‍♀️😫

He has got his passage pretty smart now, piaffe is coming….pirouettes are pretty tidy, 3’s and 4’s off the aid but can do a line of both late behind - training him today in a large working pirry with quarters in was great for really activating the hind leg and getting him around my inside leg enabling me to really get some quality in the canter

I make him look massive though…he is only just 16.2hh 🤣🤣

Hands up if you made a dumb choice today!! 🙋‍♀️

So Astrid has been in for 24 hours and led down the drive like an angel…..

Took her through the main field gate and she jumped on my back and then proceeded to try and bronco down the horse track. Not wanting to be on the business end of this I just slipped off her head collar so she could let off a little steam in a contained area whilst I took them to their field……

One full body slam and a few laps later…..

Tony brought me back a present!! ♥️🤣🤔

My Special……the life coach! I am going to start selling the ‘Special Experience’ to rich city folks to help them affirm their life paths….

Special and Astrid had a night in last night after worming which has prompted this post….

I recon that I could make a fortune selling the ‘Special experience’ for individuals who felt they needed a major life event to get their lives back on track! On arrival this morning this was my emotional rollercoaster……and how I could market this

HAPPY: to see Special and Astrid
HOPE: “their stable doesn’t look too bad!”
AFFIRMATION: your hope is enforced when you find the ‘low hanging fruit’ and pick up a few easy ones….youre feeling good right now
DISSAPPOINTMENT: when you discover ‘the patch’ - where time seemingly stops and all non living matter seems to become one solid, impenetrable mass
PANIC: you’re now not sure what the hell to do, there seems to be s**t everywhere, the foal wants a piggy back at this moment and Special just knocked over the wheelbarrow in the doorway….
FUTILITY: you suddenly realise how bad this is and how many wheelbarrows it’s going to take
RESIGNATION: you accept your fate and appreciate the calmness that flows through you at this moment
PROBLEM SOLVING: which side are you going to start from? Are you going to be economical and save what you can or hoof out the lot?
ELATION: you’ve done it - Mount Everest feels like a walk in the park right now because you….YOU….have survived Special’s stable
REALITY CHECK: not allowing you to bask in the joys of achievement too long Special then does another humongous 💩 right in the corner after you’ve set the bed and because you don’t deal with it up immediately, she walks through it creating a ‘s**t nebula’ that’s impossible to pickup with a fork

Thanks Special….thanks for punctuating that traumatic stable experience with the stark reminder that even during moments of joy, you have to be ready for life’s turds and if you don’t deal with them in a timely fashion they can become considerably worse.

All this for £1,000 a day….any takers?

Absolute poppet!!

Full foot trim this evening - stood like an angel without assistance for her hinds and I just needed Ollie to hold her whilst I did her fronts.

She has stonking great big feet for a foal 🤣🤣🤣

Boris gives a pony ride ♥️

Both horses hacked today - when I got back with Boris, Tony had dropped Matilda up to me so I asked her if she wanted to sit on him….

She went through a miriad of emotions….happiness, excitement….then nervous, then she cried, then she pulled up her big girl pants and let me lift her up there. This was NOT easy….Boris is tall and although she is slim, she is solid and heavy - I breed really heavy kids!

He was an absolute poppet and looked after his tiny jockey as I led her around the arena - she has never sat on anything over 12hands and is nervous of horses so this was a huge step for her

Feeling proud of them both 🥰

That’s what I call an opportunist!! Trying to feed from your 4 month old pal….….and she is daft enough to let him 🙄🤣

The Average Equestrian

Well this idea started out as a simple blog...progreessed to a Vlog and now its turning into a levelled up version of both. We will be offering access allareas to my equestrian life - training tips, advice, feeding, fittening, human fitness and conditioning - we will aim to include specialists from as many relevant fields as possible. We will be recording interviews, lessons, polework ideas - tack reviews. We aim to become a one stop shop for THE AVERAGE EQUESTRIAN. We are unpretentious, unprivileged, hard working and dedicated to our horses and we welcome you to share our journey and enjoy the ups and downs. We make no apology if our humour doesnt suit your tastes - we are human and do out best to not offend but due to the live nature of this page at times I will swear, will make mistakes and will be hugely inappropriate at times.

I dont tollerate bullying - of any kind - ever. You will be removed and blocked - Simples.

Please send me ideas and questions - I like to interact and provide what people want to see.
