Blackcastle Storm put on his best dancing shoes at yesterday for his first ever ROR classes 🖤🏰⛈️
It has been such a journey to get here and there have been times when me, , , Hughie and even BCS himself collectively and individually questioned if we would get to this point but when you’re working with a horse with such a genuine heart I think we all knew deep down it would be worth really paying attention to the details with him and yesterday it did. He was honestly foot perfect 👌🏻. Naturally we were all a bit disappointed that there was no placing to recognise the enormous improvement this horse has made in his ridden work (because it is really is enormous) but I definitely already won before we set foot in the ring as there definitely wasn’t another horse I’d rather have been sat on🏆
Of course I had total faith in him but he blew me away yesterday with how chill he was in such an electric atmosphere. The rings were incredibly busy…. Hoards of spectators, tannoys, stalls… the usual big ag show atmosphere plus a ring full of very hot and bouncy ex racers and not even a batted eyelid from BCS. It was like cantering round with my old pair of slippers on🥰
Thanks so much to the army who make these incredible days happen. With the washing, packing, Lottie entertaining there’s a lot to do and of course and Hughie for trusting me with this special boy.
We have lots of exciting plans for BCS next month as the journey continues to reeducate him for his next and forever home 🏠😍🫶🏻💪🏻
