The 2019 event season has come to an end for me and my horses. Tilly continued successfully through her autumn events jumping lovely double clears at her last 3 events. Although she qualified for the 5yr old National Champs, I decided that she had learnt plenty for a 5yr old this year, and I didn’t […]
Read moreThe start of the season has gone smoothly, and luckily my planned events, except for poor Pontispool, have all managed to run with excellent going. Bobby – Belton Bobby has progressed successfully to 4 star level having had a great weekend at Belton Horse Trials where he felt brave and confident. His next event was […]
Read moreJanuary and February went by in a flash, helped by amazingly mild weather (and a lovely 4 day ski holiday with family and friends!). The horses did mainly roadwork through Jan, and introduced schooling and jumping towards the end of the month. I started their fast work early Feb, which I do every 3rd day, […]
Read moreDear all, I hope 2019 is treating you well so far…here is an update. I’m off skiing for a few days next week, then before we know it the season will start, can’t wait! At the end of the season I went out to the Monart Horse Sales in Ireland. Emily and Sam were going […]
Read moreEND OF YEAR UPDATE Bicton Horse Trials was the last event of a very short autumn event season for me (due to my collar bone break).

Read moreWhat a fabulous end to the spring season with Emily and Jane Del Missier’s Dargun winning the U25 National Championships at Bramham 3 day event! I was so proud of how Em rode in each phase, and thrilled with how well dear ‘Dre’ coped with the length and intensity of the 3 star XC course. […]
Read moreWith the beginning of our season being a bit of a wash out, finally we are managing to get out completing! Our poor horses have been training so much at home feeling all fit and ready to go, but unable to get out anywhere… so they’re much happier now the season is beginning to get […]
Read more“I love the design of the Bucas rugs. The Stay-dry material, which wicks away moisture, is fab as it means the horses dry quickly, keeping them warm in winter but cool in summer. They also fit the horses really well, never slipping, with an overlap at the front to protect the chest from being rubbed. […]
Read moreDear all, I am tired of all this rain and mud.. come on summer, try a bit harder! The event season has got off to a very staggered start, and my horses have only had 2 runs rather than 4, but at least I have been luckier than some riders who haven’t managed any runs […]
