Specialising in the re-education of retired racehorses for various disciplines including showjumping, eventing and pleasure.

These guys did amazing in their lesson this week 👏 got to do some pole work and really work on that forward energy through the bending lines. Hopefully helps them this weekend! Good luck Shalena and little Zarita 🖤

A side note. Miss zarita got her saddle refitted before the lesson, and, as a young growing horse that is so important!!! It made a huge difference to how she worked, as she was able to free up the shoulder now she had a bit more room. So everyone! Keep your tack fitted well 🥳

Gee whizz was I excited to come home and find these bad boys have arrived!! 🥳 I've been struggling to find breeches that fit me! And ones that are everything I want/need.
For example - I am very short legged. So everything is always too long and then bunches up inside my top boots. They also (unless they're tights) always seem to have very thick seams around the ankle which cause pressure points and pain after taking boots off. I don't like to wear tights as I am a bit older now and like to feel tucked in and secure, which the very thin materials don't offer. Not to mention that insane camel toe they give you 😅

So here we have these fine specimens from the The Brave Pants Company 🤩 I stumbled upon these guys and was instantly drawn to the fact that they're New Zealand based (we love our kiwi cousins!), and their Brave Pants philosophy!

So, I am now the proud owner of 2 new pairs of training jods (cos I LIVE in them when not in scrubs!), and 1 pair of comp jods (equipped with celebratory wine chinks!) 🥂 Which I find very fitting. Because even you come dead last in a field of 1 (it happens) - you should celebrate the fact that you were Brave enough to get out there and do it... and looked damn great doing it!

So pull up ya Brave Pants, and Ride On, friends 🐎

At last!!!!! Relaxation on the lunge!!
These photos are not flashy or anything special... but they do mark a milestone in any young horse's career and especially the wonderful OTT horses!
I am very proud of Twistee today, staying super relaxed and moving through his transitions quietly, the canter transition still has a bit of work but we are getting there.
I don't know what other trainers do/use to lunge, but I refuse to use any gadgets and would prefer the horse to show me how he's feeling in that moment - could be soreness, tension, anxiety, bored exuberance etc. I want to know. And I do not want gadgets to give me false collection or relaxation.
