Back home to the never ending rain

As my yard gets bigger and my own herd continues to grow, I’m looking for someone to help with riding my horses. This is a flexible arrangement that would suit an experienced rider who would enjoy riding a range of different horses, from educating young/green horses, to enjoying an older (but quirky) showjumping schoolmaster. I have lovely horses -

Rider must be experienced on the flat - jumping is not a must, but if you want to jump you must have an independent seat and be capable of riding green, forward and spooky horses. 4-6 horses available to ride depending on your ability and time, and my own schedule. It’s very important to me that anyone riding my horses takes care of them as if they were their own - pre and post riding care is just as important. If you are interested please send me a brief message and some recent videos of you riding, along with any questions you have.

A few weeks of showjumping in the yard lately
Charlotte headed to kilossery with jack and jess
I headed to jag and the national sports arena and jumped all the babies who were all pleasantly well behaved
Myself and natalie headed to the riding club jumping in spruce lodge 2 separate weeks coming home with some frillys
Lets all take this time to remember what it was like before it never stopped raining 😂

What a month its been
All spheres catered for
Martina and jess headed to brennanstown for riding club dressage an their team came 2nd and martina got individual 4th
Hunter trial season was on so myself, liam, charlotte, laoise and niamh all headed to tatts and stormed around the novice track
While the week before myself, aoife, laoise, niamh and charlotte headed to rosanna and had clears all around in the novice
Joe and helen headed to the 3 day grand prix show in killossery bringing home the rossettes, helen bagged 2nd in the amateurs and joe placed 5th and 6th in the 1m and 1.10m, joe also qualified for international cavan where he qualified for the final on the first day out of 140 horses was just unlucy to have a pole in the final
Natalie and flash headed to spruce lodge for riding club showjumping
Julieann also did her first show with neo jumping a lovely clear round in boswel
Hunting began so myself, liam, charlotte, laoise and niamh gave it a bash
Plenty going on at the yard at the minute to keep us all busy
Well done everyone
