Lovely to see Rory has continued to be as easy and take everything in his stride, as he did in his time with me.
I think you're going to have a LOT of fun with him Jo! 😍

First time out yesterday for womble this year due to many many lost shoes, abscesses etc etc....
Not all plain sailing by any means as he was certainly very reactive. A much busier warm up & general atmosphere which he's never experienced. (nor has he done dressage on grass).
He kept a lid on it mostly and it was a schooling exercise really to get some life experience but still managed to come 6th in the prelim & won the Novice despite the crap jockey going wrong in BOTH tests!
Lots to improve but pleased to be out all the same 😊

Introducing 'Roxy'!
Very belated post as this little bundle of sass is just over 4 weeks old.
All I can say is the lovely April has done it again and produced a little beauty. She's by 'Kantairo' from Anna Jellis Weston Warmbloods so full brother to bandit who will be 2 soon. She's definitely got character thats for sure, but I'm super happy she's a nice strong healthy foal and April is doing a superb job again! ❤

FOX - 4 year old dark bay TB gelding retired (sound) 12 months ago so had plenty of down time in the field.
Would suit someone with knowledge to continue his retraining or help to do so. He will make a fabulous all-rounder & has the most laid back easy nature.

WILMA - 3 year old Iron grey TB mare. Retired sound in September 23. She's since been in the field. Lovely moving very well put together mare.

RORY - 4 year old dun irish gelding (no recorded breeding).
He came from Ireland in August last year. He's had tack on, been long reined & ready to continue his education. He's taken everything in his stride & has met some big farm machinery, proving to be unphased.
He's a lovely stamp, moves and loose jumps well. He'll make a lovely all-rounder.

WOMBLE - 6 year old bay 15.1 TB gelding.
I got him straight from the track as a 3 year old. He's been re-trained & produced slowly, proving to thrive with his new career path. He's done some SJ/XC schooling but bit got round to competing yet. He's done some unaffiliated dressage, doing well and being placed each time out. He's got all the ingredients to event & loves his jumping but equally he would do pure dressage/showing.
He's a super fun forward ride but really good after time off & never had to put anything other than a snaffle in his mouth.
I would consider loan to the right home.

New venue for womble, last minute choice & despite it blowing a gale, horses running around in the field & him not having been ridden for 2 days, he managed to keep his s**t together.....just!
Rider error meant I went wrong also, but super chuffed with his attitude to try, despite his obvious anxiety. Only one or two hairy moments in the warmup!
Well done womble for stepping up when necessary 🙂

After a while away from social media being busy with 'life' I've got a lot to update on as it's been super busy!
Where to start......
Well young womble went out to his first dressage party a couple of months ago and won the prelim & got a respectable mark for the novice so I couldn't be happier with him!

First time working in with other horses ☑
First time in an indoor arena tick ☑
First dressage test ☑
He's so much stronger now so hopefully we can build on this & continue progress 😍

The lovely boy Fox 😍
He's now had a good 7 months down time in the field, eating and growing. He's only 3 and ran once, retiring sound.
He was very poor and weedy, he just needed to to be a horse which he's done & finally starting to look better.
I've just started him doing a bit or groundwork & sit on. He's so easy & sensible, proving very grown up especially boxing over to the school where he'd never been & took it all in his stride!
Looking for a new human to carry on his work. He'd make a fantastic all-rounder, he just has the best temperament!
Can windsuck but this is reflected in ££
PM for details 😊

A little ray of hope in what has been a difficult & disheartening few months.
I've been let down by professionals which doesn't make life easy when you have horses with specific needs.
Makes me all the more pleased to be getting where I want to be DESPITE help from those who don't wish to support me.
Hugely appreciative of those who do support me 😊
Proud of where we have come with so many physical obsticals, but this horse has a heart of gold & I just adore him & love every day riding him bo matter how long it takes to get where we want to be 🦄

Young womble (rising 5) is back in! He started learning his new trade last year, then had a winter break. He might only be small but he's a little power house! Can't wait to see what this year brings for him😁

It's taken a long long time to get the bottom of kato's issues and I had nearly given up trying as I felt like I was wasting my time.
It's difficult when it's a performance related issue rather than lameness or obvious idea where the problem lies.
I've known for years this horse has it all there but he just appeared to most like a Thoroughbred that's just an average mover. He also used to be very sharp/spooky & difficult to hack which has now completely turned around.
Not many people have any idea at all what we've been through to get here, but with the help of my fabulous vet, I think we are on the up! Still a long way to go wirh strengthening and learning to use his body in a different way now he's comfortable.
I've never lost hope and I'm determined to let him show people what he's capable of 😊 ❤ 🦄
