I’ve been reflecting on our showjumping weekend at Shirley Heights, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with how it went! ❤️

Considering we’ve only run a handful of showjumping events, I’m incredibly proud of what we’re achieving. I deliberately capped our entries because I believe quality is far more important than quantity at this stage. We reached our limit AND had an extensive waitlist! With daylight saving here, we’ll be taking more entries at future events.

Now, there’s something I want to clear up. I’ve heard stories circulating that I was unhappy with our numbers and upset about other events running that weekend. Let me make one thing very clear. Neither is true!

Why on earth would I be unhappy with numbers I capped myself? 😂 As for the other events, which were hours away, I genuinely hope they all had wonderful weekends! If another event was already on the calendar close to us, I wouldn’t even apply for the same date. That’s just me.

We should be supporting one another, not making up stories about people. I’m always happy to have an honest conversation, but I won’t stand by quietly while people put words in my mouth. If you’ve got something to ask me, ask me!

I’ve also heard we’re silly for giving showjumpers prizes. Well, seeing those happy faces made every bit of it worthwhile! Who doesn’t love a lovely prize and a pretty sash? 🎁❤️

Anyone who knows me understands how much time, money, hard work and heart goes into Shirley Heights. We’re a tiny team with some pretty big dreams!

I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who’s supported us from the beginning and those who’ve recently come on board. The beautiful messages, calls mean more than you’ll ever know.

I never started doing this to compete with anyone. I simply want to create somewhere people feel welcome, enjoy their horses, have a laugh with friends and go home smiling.

I’ll always support others and treat people with respect, but please don’t mistake my kindness for weakness. I’m proud of what we’re building, and I won’t let unnecessary gossip take away from that.

To everyone who supported our weekend, thank you from the bottom of my heart. We’re incredibly proud.

And one thing’s for sure… we’re only just getting started! 💃🐴❤️

P.S. Life’s too short for negativity! Be happy, enjoy the ride and take a leaf out of Princi’s book! 🐾😂❤️

🎄 NOT GOING AWAY THIS CHRISTMAS? NEITHER ARE WE! 🐴

SO LET’S GET TOGETHER FOR ONE LAST JUMP IN 2026! Two days of horses, friends, laughter, a few cheeky sashes and a pre-New Year’s celebration at Shirley Heights!

📅 MONDAY 28 & TUESDAY 29 DECEMBER 2026

✨ JUMP INTO 2027 WITH SHIRLEY HEIGHTS! Our Freshman’s & Showjumping Training Event is all about having fun, building confidence and bringing our wonderful equestrian community together!

OPEN TO ALL CURRENT EA, HRCAV & PONY CLUB MEMBERS!

💕 DRESSAGE RIDERS… YOU’RE INVITED TOO! Ever wanted to try a showjumping course without actually JUMPING? 😂 We’ll have poles on the ground and possibly a few tiny cross rails. No pressure, no big jumps and no need to swap your dressage saddle!

🏆 THE SHIRLEY HEIGHTS SASH CLEARANCE! We’re finding new homes for our beautiful unclaimed sashes from previous events! Placegetters could go home with an International Horse Trials, Dressage Championship or another Shirley Heights sash!

Will it match your class? DEFINITELY NOT! 🤣

Will it still be beautiful? ABSOLUTELY!

🥂 MONDAY NIGHT – PRE-NEW YEAR’S GET-TOGETHER! Not everyone gets to go away over Christmas, so why not celebrate right here with the Shirley Heights family? ❤️

After Monday’s activities, join us for music, laughter, BYO food and drinks, and a relaxed catch-up with old and new friends!

YOU DON’T EVEN HAVE TO BE COMPETING TO JOIN US! Bring your horse, bring your friends or just bring yourself. Everyone is welcome!

Because sometimes the best part of our sport isn’t the ribbons, prizes or results…

It’s the friendships, laughter and memories we make along the way. ❤️

ONE LAST JUMP. ONE LAST CATCH-UP. ONE BIG CELEBRATION!
