A very eventful but successful evening dressage for the clueless showjumper! Arrive at Dorset Showground for mum to ask 'Did you put your riding boots in?' With a slightly panic stricken look on her face. As you can imagine the answer was 'No' from me! In the 30 years I've been riding this is the first time we've ever forgotten such an i...

We started the day yesterday with the fantastic news that our Police team was accepted to compete in the Services jumping championship at Royal Windsor Horse Show this year. This is a super exciting opportunity which will allow us to compete in the new Kings back garden of Windsor Castle. A show which Her Majesty loved so dearly, ...
WHAT A DAY!! Words cannot describe how lucky I feel right now! To be trusted by Jill Williams and Daisy Williams to have the ride on Bermudez BDA this year was just a phenomenal opportunity and to pay them back with a win at @londonhorseshow is just the icing on the cake! To qualify was a feat in itself but to WIN is a dream come true! I'm so grate...

There's a huge 18h hole in the yard tonight. My big BFG Barry headed off to his new fancy dressage home today. Looking forwards to seeing how he progresses in that sphere. From the big gangly giant he arrived as to the imposing stamp of a horse he left, its been one hell of a journey. My best mate Sophie helping me most of the way with him too ...

We headed to Hickstead events for their June show with the wonderful Ziggy We had a touch of 4 faultitis but none the less finished on a good note with double clear in the 1.20m It was great to be back at a stay away, catch up with some old faces and embrace life around all the COVID restrictions again!
I absolutely love coaching and training horses/riders. It gives me so much pleasure when combinations go out and get good results, or even just achieve those small goals that we set along the way. This post came from Bryony who's Snowy I had on schooling livery and then started teaching them as a combination "First BS showjumping competition today ...
So it's taken me a week to finally write down the heartbreak I suffered last Friday competing at Chard. Unfortunately my superstar Zarina suffered an injury that has guaranteed her out of work for at least a year and long term potentially will see her retire from competition. Theres so many of you that have followed our journey and watched us progr...
The Queen is back! 7 months since we entered the ring and in true Zarina style we pick up where we left off Double clear in the 1.10 and 1.20m to blow away the cobwebs and have a fun spin at our favourite venue @chardequestrian Few bits of homework to do to iron out some issues and sharpen us up ready to let the hand brake off again
They say if you keep chipping away at rock you can make diamonds This is 10 months of slowly chipping away and building up strength in an 18h 5 year old, now rising 6. It might not seem much now, but slowly this lad keeps improving, his confidence is building and his trust in me increases. Plenty to look forwards to, watch out for the next video as...
