Black eyes and borowed jockeys

Poor Emily had a silly fall at home on a young pony resulting in a really nasty black eye, complete with severe bruising.

This left her "one eyed" and despite her protests we borrowed Charlie dawson to ride Sligo Lucky The Pony premiere last week. Charlie did a fantastic job, winning and qualifying for the RIHS 128cm Winter final. Thanks and well done Charlie you did a great job - and what a great picture in Horse and Hound.

Arena Uk Large Pony Premiere shoe 5/6 March

Here we ventured onto 148cm for the Winter JC Final.

Emily rode Spotactular and King Mac, both six year old ponies with few miles on the clock. They didnt let us down, King Mac jumped three great rounds to win and qualify for Hickstead and Spotactular just had a fence down in the second round, despite being so green. We were really pleased with both ponies and they are very exciting for the future.

It's Down!!!

We are absolutely thrilled with our new Andrews Bowen Pro Track Surface in the outdoor arena.

Our walled garden has had a facelift  and looks great. It truly is fantastic and we are all very lucky (both horses and riders) to be able to ride daily on the  most fantastic surface on the market today.

Pics to follow.

Its Started!

The season for us has well and truly started, with our first show being:

Aintree Premiere  Show on the 7 -9 Jan

Here we took Noble Prospect Eddie, who despite his inexperience jumped some super rounds to just miss out on a qualifing place for RIHS in the JC qualifier. We were delighted with him.

BSPS AREA 2A Winter Show

Southview housed a good 2a winter qualifier and with good courses on an excellent surface it was definately worth an outing - despite being freezing!!!!

We took three complete babies and were delighted with them all.

Emily made her debut in the 153cm WHP Novice and Open Classes jumping two good rounds and finished with two seconds. We were delighted with this as it was Noble Loughnatousa's first ever show and was brillant.

Noble Sirprize won the Open 143cm and finished third in the novice, and finally Abbie Schofield and Noble Boularouge jumped a fabulous round just making a little green mistake, we were really pleased with both of them.

Exciting stuff!

Mean while its all going on at the yard, work has started on our new outdoor Andrews Bowen wax track surface. This should be finished next week and will be fantastic.

The indoor has had a half term make over curtesy of Katie and Faye( and Ruby!!!). Thanks girls.

Cant wait!!
