Ru did his first show on Sunday! He was absolutely foot perfect from start to finish, yet to find anything that bothers him! He took the show atmosphere and warm up all in his stride. We came 2nd in our first test with 68.8%, he was so sweet and very rideable, chuffed with that !! And 4th in...

Owch, I hope your friend is OK that sounds really painful 😔 i bought a new BP a couple of weeks ago after seeing a few nasty falls on social media and being reminded that accidents can happen even if you are 'just schooling'. I will be wearing mine much more often now! Ru has been busy, we have...

I have had a fabulous bank holiday weekend! Went to the beach, mine and Rockys favourite place and had the most amazing time, really filled up my cup. Then today, took my 4 year old connie to a WH arena hire, where we had a play around and he loved it. We have actually had very nice weather...

Its been very exciting here, I made the decision to buy my first horsebox a couple of weeks ago! So we have been doing some loading practice, which Ru had no issues with! On Sunday we went for our first trip out in it, alone, to a new place and he genuinely couldn't have behaved more perfectly...

I gave up trying to sell my bates privately and sold it to the saddle bank instead, the process was very straight forward and I received the money in my bank as soon as they received it! I would use them again! I figured the cash in my bank(although a little lighter than what i'd like) was a...

I love Miri Hackett, Hacket Equine. She has some videos on her youtube channel, I also subscribe to her patreon, i pay less that £10 a month for whole access but you can also pay for select videos. I found her very helpful with groundwork for my youngster.

3 weeks into having him back with me and it's like he never left! We are part way through his full MOT, his saddle has gone off to be re flocked so yesterday we spent some time together in the school, doing some in hand poles. I stood in the sun with him for a long while, both enjoying the sun...

Ru is growing like a weed!! 😲 I did some pole work with him today after riding my veteran, which you think would be humbling, hoping from a 17yo to a 4yo, but nope, he is just so level headed. We have had 2 lessons in the past month with different instructors and he has tried his heart out...

Had a fabulous ride on Ru in the school today, he is such a level headed youngster 😊 We had the physio this week and he had a glowing report, he is feeling much straighter and stronger following his winter break. I've had him for 6 months now, he is looking more connie like! I almost don't...

Wow, thank you all so much for your likes and lovely comments - it makes me emotional reading them all. I really do feel so incredibly lucky ❤️ A happy ending for us both x

My wonderful pony Rocky has found his way back into my life. Our journey started when I was 13, my non horsey parents bought me a newly broken 4 year old from Ireland… say no more! He taught me a lot, we grew up and moved countries together, supporting me through finding new friends. Until my...

Connies really are the best, what a gorgeous boy. Sorry for your loss x

I got back on my boy yesterday after his winter break, went for a walk down the lane on our own and he was fantastic! Such a brave pony :cool:I had been doing some groundwork and mounting block practice whilst he was off, just presenting and standing still and it has really paid off. Excited to...

Ru is on week 4 of his time off, took him in the school yesterday for some mounting block practice and I have been dying to sit on him again, so i did :D We had a little mooch around and a trot bareback. He is such a chilled baby, dragged him in from the field and just had a play, it made my...

@Ample Prosecco What a lovely update, the reality of the journey with a youngster, so glad you're so happy with her Really interesting Connie update @McGrools. I moved Ru, my over height connie, to a new yard this weekend, our old place was amazing and i am sad to leave behind such amazing...
