Hello September 🍃🍁🍂🌿

Hello September 🍃🍁🍂🌿

🍂🐴 HELLO SEPTEMBER 🐴🍂

Well then.

September.

HOW DID YOU GET HERE?! 🤣🤣🤣

I swear it was approximately 4 minutes ago we were all screaming about the heat, doing rain dances and staring desperately at weather apps trying to manifest a cloud. ☀️🔥🌧️

And now…

The ground is SOFT.
There are actual HOOF PRINTS.
I wore a JUMPER.
I briefly considered whether I needed a coat.

And I don't want to alarm anyone…

…but it smells a little bit autumnal. 👀🍂

DON'T SAY IT TOO LOUD.

Because September is that dangerous little month where horse people get lulled into a false sense of security.

The flies calm down.
The temperature becomes vaguely reasonable.
The ground has some give.
The horses are happy.

And we think…

"Oh this is lovely." 🥰

Meanwhile, somewhere in the distance…

MUD IS STRETCHING.

Preparing.

Waiting for its moment.

The headtorches are charging themselves.

The rugs are quietly multiplying.

And one day very soon you'll find yourself standing in a field at 6pm, in horizontal rain, holding a broken fence post and shouting:

"WHY DO I HAVE HORSES?!" 🤣🤣🤣

But we're not there yet.

Right now we have September. 🍂

Cooler mornings.
Softer ground.
Little hints of autumn.
Fresh starts.
New routines.

And hopefully that absolutely ELITE horsey weather where it's cool enough to ride, warm enough not to freeze your t**s off and dry enough that nobody loses a welly.

So September…

We're pleased to see you.

Please bring:

🌧️ Sensible rain
☀️ Little bits of sunshine
🐴 Happy horses
🧠 Regulated nervous systems
🌱 Grass that doesn't suddenly become rocket fuel
💷 And perhaps some sort of financial miracle because winter hay bills are approaching.

Thank you kindly.

HELLO SEPTEMBER.

Let's be having you. 🍂🐴🤣

One f the greatest ever Irish female equestrians
☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️

🐴✨ Morning Light – An Irish Show-Jumping Legend 🇮🇪🏆

Morning Light holds a special place in the history of Irish show jumping. Ridden by the legendary Iris Kellett, he became one of her best-known and most memorable mounts, representing an unforgettable partnership between horse and rider. ❤️🐎

Their crowning achievement came in 1969 at the Dublin Horse Show, where Iris Kellett and Morning Light captured the European Ladies Championship. 🏆🇮🇪 It was a fitting triumph in a remarkable year, as 1969 also marked Kellett’s retirement from professional show jumping.

With courage, athleticism and elegance, Morning Light helped create a piece of Irish equestrian history that is still remembered today. 🌟 From soaring over fences to competing on one of Ireland’s most celebrated stages, his partnership with Iris Kellett embodied the skill, trust and determination at the heart of show jumping.

Decades later, Morning Light and Iris Kellett remain a wonderful reminder of Ireland’s rich equestrian heritage. 🍀🐴 Their 1969 victory was more than a championship win — it was the closing chapter of an extraordinary competitive career and a moment that secured their place in show-jumping history. 🏅✨
