A wee photo drop from silver 1 and 2! We had a busy, fun and successful two weeks! We really got to show off everyone’s hard work and adaptability (jumpers visit Hunter land??). After a long, cold winter of strength building, fitness, stretching, and goal setting, all our riders stepped into the show ring feeling prepared and confident. Well done team!

What an incredible day !

So thankful to Julia for bringing her workshop to Silverwood and sharing her knowledge on a digestible and collaborative format.

Some great takeaways for our horse owners and riders to carry with them going forward

A great saddle fitting workshop with the team at Silverwood Stables yesterday!

This workshop was all about empowerment through education, giving riders the tools to actually see and understand what’s happening under the saddle, rather than relying on guesswork or conflicting opinions.

Over the course of the session, students learned how to:
• Identify where a saddle should (and shouldn’t) sit on the horse’s back
• Recognize early behavioural and physical signs of saddle fit issues
• Understand key anatomical landmarks and how they relate to fit
• Evaluate saddles, pads, and girths with more confidence
• See how rider balance directly impacts the horse

The goal was to leave riders with practical, actionable skills they can use immediately, whether they're assessing their own tack or advocating for your horse’s comfort and welfare during an appointment with a saddle fitter.

Thank you again to the team at Silverwood Stables for hosting and creating such a great learning environment!

We do hacking lessons to build independence and confidence in our riders. Getting outside the 4 safe walls of the arena can be scary, horses can be reactive to our nervous energy, and things can pop out of the bushes. Being put into these situations as a rider helps build so many coping skills and strengths in the saddle. Our horses get more confident dealing with loud noises and sudden movement, they get stronger riding up and down the hills and everyone gets a good workout. More of these nights please !

Thank you for coming out and working with 16 of our riders on this cool and stormy day ! Everyone left with smiles on their faces, and should be proud of the homework they’ve done over the winter that was acknowledged today. Well done everyone !
