We are a team.

We all make sacrifices to be part of the most amazing way of life.

We all get each other because we have learned how to work together under pressure and make the magic happen.

Horse folk are a special breed of folk. 🤣
My horse kids will take the world on if I have anything to do with it !!!

Not everyone gets out competing

Not everyone can 👌

That’s ok. We always run events at home. 🏡

What we do is set you up to do as much as you want to sacrifice for the sport.

Working within your budgets has always been my biggest challenge 🙈 but there is one common trait I find with kids.

Success comes with dedication to the routines - it’s not my way of getting money off you. It’s my way of setting your kids up to grow into happy confident self assured young people with everything they need to do their sport successfully.

You do get what you pay for when it comes to ponies and for this all round support we offer it takes more than me 🙃I have a team to pay and all the stuff we need to make the 🪄 magic happen ✨

I work round the clock to make sure everyone gets an education and love of ponies no matter your goals or what you have access to. My love of training ponies came from not always being able to get out competing and I made my own adventures at home 🏡

Always remember if someone you feel is progressing faster than you. Doing more than you or got more than you they too put the work in made the sacrifice’s and made the magic happen with hard work and determination. 

If it’s not your time - it will come if you want it bad enough you will always make it happen. If circumstances don’t allow the full on competition work now work hard at becoming good and opportunities will arise in your future 🏇

Support your team mates and celebrate in their success and opportunities 🤠
