We decided to change things up and introduce Gee to a few little jumps for the first time over the weekend. It was also his first time lunging outside of the round pen, so there was plenty that was new for him to take in. Safe to say he took it all in his stride and seemed pretty pleased with his new-found jumping career 😂

For a horse still figuring out this whole ridden-horse career, he continues to take everything we throw at him in his stride. First time lunging out in the open ✅ First jumps ✅ Keeping his cool like he’s done it all before ✅

Big Gee by name, big achiever by nature 😂🤎

Big Gee is really starting to get the hang of this riding thing! 🐴

He’s now finding a lovely, relaxed walk and is even starting to come down onto the bit and carry himself nicely.

Today was another big milestone with his first trot under saddle, and he handled it like an absolute pro! 🌟

It’s been so rewarding watching Gee grow in confidence with every ride.

Big Gee had his second ride under saddle today and was an absolute champ! 🐴🤎

He stood beautifully at the mounting block, was great while mounting, and walked off nicely. He was much more relaxed throughout the ride and is already starting to understand what this new ridden life is all about.

🎤 With a name like Big Gee… we HAD to write a rap about him 🎤😂

Big Gee has officially inspired his own theme song!

Gee is ticking over nicely and had his first ride under saddle today 🐴✨

He was a little tense to begin with, but as the ride went on he started to relax and settle in. We kept things short, sweet and positive for his first experience.

He’s also been showing us some pretty fancy footwork on the lunge, with an eye-catching trot and even popping into a wee canter! 👀

A really positive start for Big Gee — we’re looking forward to seeing how he progresses over the next few weeks 💙

🐴 MEET GEE 🐴

Gee, or “Big Gee” as he is more formally known, is a 15.2hh Standardbred gelding who has recently retired from racing and is starting his new chapter with us. 🤎

Today was Gee’s first proper day of handling and getting to know what his new life is all about — and he made a great first impression!

He was an absolute gentleman on the ground and was easy to handle with everything we asked of him. We also started teaching him how to lunge, introducing the basics of moving out around us, responding to our cues and beginning to understand what we were asking of him.

We then introduced Gee to the mounting block and the idea of having someone standing above him. He was a little unsure about this, so there was no pressure — just plenty of time to look, think and figure things out.

With these horses, there’s no rush. We want Gee to have the best possible experience as he learns about life after racing and begins his journey towards becoming a ridden horse. 🐴✨

We’re pretty excited to see what Big Gee has to offer! 🤎

🐴 New Arrival — Meet Gee! 🐴

Introducing Gee, aka “Big Gee”… although there’s definitely nothing big about him 😂

🐴 Trainer’s Tip of the Week – Horses Prone to Ulcers

For horses that are prone to ulcers, try giving them a small fibre-based feed 20–30 minutes before exercise.

Having fibre in the stomach before work can help provide a protective “mat” over the stomach contents and reduce acid splashing onto the more sensitive upper portion of the stomach during exercise.

Joe here gets Fibre Protect around 30 minutes before any work as part of his routine. 🌾🐴

A simple management step that can help support horses prone to gastric ulcers. Note this is not a treatment

✨ Exciting News! ✨

After a few weeks of settling in, plenty of work, and getting into a routine, Ken is officially ready to join our lesson team! 🐴

Ken has been an absolute pleasure to work with and has come along brilliantly. We’re excited to have him as the newest addition to our team of lesson horses.

He’ll be available for lessons with our intermediate riders, and we can’t wait for everyone to meet him and see what he has to offer.

Welcome to the team, Ken! 💙

✨ Introducing Lucky Let Loose – “Lucky” ✨

Meet Lucky, a solidly built 14.3hh Standardbred gelding by Creatine.

At just 3 years old, Lucky didn’t make it to the races due to a lack of ability, giving him the perfect opportunity to start a new career.

He arrived with us today and has settled in beautifully, already making friends with our little Shetlands and taking everything in his stride. He has a lovely, relaxed attitude and has made a fantastic first impression.

Lucky will begin his under-saddle education this coming week, follow for updates or pm me if interested
