🎉 Kingswood PSG Silver Area Festival Champions 🎉

Lenny (SCS Lumiere KH) was an absolute star at Kingswood Area Festival taking the win 🥇 in the PSG Silver with 66.37%, with this being only his third PSG.

He is so willing to train and a real character to be around, having produced him from a 4 year old to PSG at 8 years old, long may we continue this exciting journey.

Who is going to Your Horse Live?

🙋‍♀️ I am very excited to be going to get some shopping done

But more excitingly I am going supporting sue and the team to on the Sue Carson Saddles stand supporting riders, answering questions and looking at how we can help you get the perfect saddle for you and your horse. Come along and say hi on Saturday and Sunday! It'd be great to see you and talk more about I can help!

Lottie has made a huge difference to my riding. In fact she’s made such a difference I’ve lengthened my stirrups 2 holes and changed the model I’m riding in to our new Sue Carson Saddles Expression Last weekend I got 8.5 for my riding from an Olympic judge

As you improve and change have you ever thought about the checks your saddle may need too? We all strive to ride our best for us and our horse. We do movement rehab, strengthening and conditioning, we learning new ways to ask our horses to move. When you get that ‘Aha’ moment the feeling of satisfaction is amazing. But have you thought if you have changed your position, your movement,...

Over the moon with how the horses went at Rodbaston Equestrian today. I competed Red Valentino SCS for the first time as Lily took him out for his first few outings, he was so well behaved and takes everything in his stride to please, winning both of his Novice classes.
SCS Lumiere KH, our little ginger pocket rocket, achieved 77% in the medium gaining many 8’s and a 9, and 71% in his first ever advanced medium taking the win in both classes. 🧡🐴

A big thank you to Neurocentric Rider Biomechanics - PB Movement for all your help, I can notice a massive different in my riding and the scores reflect this having gained 8.5’s today.

Thank you to Paul Fielder for all your help in training and the rest of the team behind us as none of this would be possible without all your help. Lily Carson, Rich Hayward, Priestwood Physiotherapy, Ben Ebrey, Feedmark, Saracen Horse Feeds, Oakham Veterinary Hospital Equine.
