Very lucky to have been approached by Equi-Fit Elite Ltd to be a brand ambassador for the company.

I use the Equi-Fit Elite Ltd gastro u protect which I have found fantastic for all of my horses who benefitted massively from the supplement after changing from protexin gut balancer. The horses are looking and feeling amazing midseason.
A more reasonable product that’s completely worth the money.

Cannot recommend this product enough

Many other products too including the lovely comfortable riding leggings available in various colours and supplements to aid horses to perform to their best.

Fantastic weekend at the inter-area tetrathlon. First proper tetrathlon of the season with a full up 100 course, some big challenging jumps but Ollie stepped up to it and felt amazing, coming through the finishing flags full of running.
An improved shoot of 820 followed by a 8.24 swim (half way through a tumble so hadn’t touched the wall) on Saturday to lie in 7th place overnight. Then onto Sunday a fantastic clear inside the time taking one planned L fence dropping down from a 1400 ride due to the 70 penalty points. Due to a few problems on course we moved up to 5th after the ride phase.
Then the dreaded run, not the nicest of courses running at midday on a very hot day across a very hilly and uneven terrain resulting in a slightly slower run and dropping down the placing to finish in 9th overall.
Also a fantastic win for the senior inter-area team
Bring on the summer (and a bit more sun cream needed)
Few more weeks of exams then full focus on the horses for the summer

Fantastic first event of the season for OLLIE ECHO in the 100 at Goring Heath.
Pretty average dressage followed by a lovely clear showjumping and a clear cross country with 5 unfortunate time penalties
So pleased with him going straight in at the deep end with a first run of the season being a 100 due to several cancellations of events after the vile weather.
Looking forward to getting out a bit more this season eventing and tetrathlon
Another fantastic event ran by Horse-Events

After deciding to keep her for a while more, the time has finally come to 👀 🌟 🏡 for my perfect girl.

Erin 14.2 Connie x tb rising 5 mare Monmouthshire (south east wales)

Erin was my first horse I broke in and I can honestly say It made me feel like I had done it since the day I could walk. She was and still is a complete pleaser who will try her absolute heart out for her rider. She’s confidently jumping a course of 70cm, and has flown over a couple of larger (90-100) but she has room to spare over each jump and doesn’t flinch no matter the fillers.
Schools brilliantly, she has three beautiful paces. Works well in a contact.

Erin loves hacking, on her own and in company.
I’ve found my love of fun rides thanks to Erin, as she behaves impeccably everytime jumping everything, and stopping when asked straight away.

Has been hound exercising and hunting. She adores this! Not scared by the hounds or the commotion. She is very forward going out hunting.

Good to shoe, clip (she takes a nap!), catch, load etc.

Despite how completely unflappable Erin is, I don’t want her going to a complete novice as she deserves more. Erin wants to go out and have fun, with or without the competitions. She’s never spooky, not even at “scary” new venues.
Absolutely no time wasters or joyriders.

TIA

GATCOMBE HT 2022

Fantastic day at gatcombe horse trials (festival of British eventing) showjumping with Ollie Echo in the Pony Club Teams showjumping in the main arena
Clear in the first round and an unfortunate two poles in the second round riding in difficult hard conditions around a course that was causing alot of issues.

Bit of a late post on this page after a busy week at Hickstead and Bicton amongst revision for gcse's.

HICKSTEAD

What an incredible opportunity to take Kylebrack Buttercup to hickstead to jump in the national schools team showjumping final. Two foot perfect rounds in the 80cm finishing in team 3rd and individual 4th.

BICTON TETRATHLON

Not the best result on paper for myself but acceptable considering the lack of training. However what a round cross country on Kylebrack Buttercup, fantastic educational ride for our first time cross country together as a combination around a very complex and up to height course.

Thankyou so much to everyone for making this such a memorable and successful week.

Fab way to spend Christmas eve with great people and the amazing marley
Merry Christmas everyone

Over the moon with flo's progress today, learning where her feet were over trotting poles and then progressing to bigger jumps.
