    Lost Rocky last night

    So sorry for your loss. What a beautiful old man! You must have done brilliantly by him for him to look like that at over 30 years old. What a terrific age to live to. RIP Rocky xxx

    Cheer me up with your competition epic fails

    And the white one... First horse trial together, huge palisade, once we'd jumped it I had to stop and vomit. Coming to a water jump, horse looking at the moving digger over the fence and paying no attention to me or where we were going, coming down to the log at A and galloped straight into...

    Cheer me up with your competition epic fails

    I could write a book between my two big boys! Jake the mad TB, far too much horse for 15yr old me but ever so pretty. A small local PC dressage day; trotted in nice as pie, got to X, decided to salute the judge himself with both front legs. Spun in circles rearing and stag leaping in the middle...

    International para rider winning the CTR restricted prelim test

    Well this is interesting reading! I'm a para rider (Grade IV). My horse (previously my jumper) and I are graded Novice level (lower than what I compete in as a para, but my grading is due to my disability, not my skill level haha). When we gained our first Elementary points I dropped my amateur...

    Pondering. . What makes a good para dressage horse?

    My big guy, who was my jumping horse prior to me not being able to jump anymore is a little tricky, but absolutely 100% safe. At 16 he has learned a whole new set of aids, and to be light off them (He'd never done a dressage test until 13). I have no grip in my hands, so use core aids for...

    Top doors....open or closed?

    We had a pony turn around with a centre partition and a 16hh travelling companion. It can happen! In NZ most people travel with the doors or cover over the ramp open.
