Took my lovely 4yo to her first bsja last week to pop round a BN, this was only her second ever time off the yard and the biggest/longest course she has done to date. She cruised round for a DC and a nice 3rd place, so her first proper outing brought her a pretty and some prize money!

I love this horse to bits, she has been an absolute pleasure to work with from being a wild rising 3yo to what she is now,she is just fab. Don't think I'll ever find another like her :)

She is going down to Arena UK Major championships next week from Wednesday, was stuck between which horse to take as the stabling is so expensive but settled on taking Gracie as if nothing else it will be great experience for her.

Also excuse my dad, he is trying his best to get to grips with this horse lingo, Gracie is actually 4 years old and it's only her 2nd time off the yard,not 3rd, bless him

Thanks for reading! xx
 
Gorgeous, she is really lovely :)

Very jealous as well as just the thought of steering my four year old round a course of jumps brings me out in hives :D we are still on the gridwork!
 
What a lovely attitude she has. My own four year old has somehow grown into a six-next-year old, and still hasn't pottered round a BN!
 
Lovely round, she seemed very relaxed going round the course. Great start to her career. Love your dads commentary. I do exactly the same lol

Aw thankyou :) She has been that good, she has only jumped a handful of times but has such an amazing temperament and natural ability she just takes it in her stride, I'm currently trying to introduce my 3yo to long reins and it's not going so well, he is making up for all the trouble I never had with this one haha

Thankyou , yes not a lot fazes her haha! He doesn't have a clue bless him, but he does try
 
Well done!

What a lovely 4yo, mine is great on the ground but is very immature to ride, feels more like a 3yo, Im having to take things slowly and just allow him to mature.

Cant wait to hear more about your trips out!

Thankyou, She seemed to be babyish for ages then matured really quick. Luckily for me, she picks things up quick and is very natural so it's all quite easy. She is off to Arena UK SJ Festival on wednesday-sunday so hopefully we will have something to report back :)
