Baby Leo and Cecil

Enjoying a nice play session. They can be caught most days doing this. Equally matched in play styles it’s a favourite of mine to watch.

Leo was born here and as he grew we added him to this herd so that our head mare Emerald could teach him to be a good citizen and he could learn herd dynamics. It’s been super successful and these two finding their play match was just a bonus!

Over the years we’ve had a few couples that matched and played like this Magnus and Duke were one! Dukey hasn’t played like this with anyone since Magnus left - they don’t always find their person but when they do it is pretty special.

Hope Texxy will stop being the grumpy old man and play with Leo like this in his new digs so he can continue to enjoy his playtime. Leo’s pretty persistent in asking so I’m sure he will 🤣

Our whole Jorayla crew had a successful day out yesterday at their home clubs show jumping day.
Once again I forgot to get a picture of them all in the same place at the same time- oops 🤦🏼‍♀️

This new duo our standout for the day.

Phoenix only recently joined us from Nathan Dunn Racing so this was their first comp together and they took home the goods!
You just can’t beat giving them a thoroughbred.

He is still working on his fitness for this new gig so needed a Nanna nap by the end of the day as you can see here in this pic🤣

Congratulations Willow
You’re both learning lots. Keep working.

Phoenix out being his superstar self!

A month off the track and SAFELY piloting around his 12 year old jockey through cross country like he’s been doing it all his life.

No fuss, no fizz.

You cannot beat a thoroughbred!

We truly lucked out with this guy 😍 thanks so much Nathan Dunn Racing.

Keep up the hard work Willow!

Thanks Say Neigh More Photography for these awesome pics
