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...

I'm a sucker for a coloured and I have fallen in love with this little chap. He's a 15h, coloured, gelding who has come to me from his owners due to some confidence issues So the main priority is to get him back jumping happily and confidently and then we will incorporate his rider back on board and cement their partnership back together again! He'...

We are all going a bit stir crazy this lockdown!

Our beautiful lad Rex had a busy December meeting some new lady friends. He successfully has his first litter on the ground now - 5 beautiful and healthy pups courtesy of mum Daisy! Looking forwards to seeing how they grow up If anybody is after a super handsome stud dog then please just give me a shout!

From the crazy influx of rain the weather then turned to freezing temperatures, ice and SNOW!! We are so blessed with living where we do that we only had a slight sprinkling of snow which is plenty enough for me when theres horses to be worked! Luckily we managed to keep the yard in action and the horses in full swing. Massive thanks to my parents ...

We welcomed the gorgeous Roly with us on full exercise livery this week. He is a super handsome chappy and we look forwards to getting to know him over the next few weeks.

At the end of a very strange year we are wishing all our friends, family a clients a very Merry Christmas from us all here at Horsehill Farm Livery We hope you have a very special day! The liveries started their festivities with a day out for all the young horses. They looked absolutely super all dolled up in their tinsel! 

We have been busy with the young horses doing lots of training to keep them busy throughout the winter. It is always a rewarding time of year to watch them progress and really get them confident before competing in the Spring Time Watch this space for more hints, tips and progress posts

I had such fun working with Voltaire Design United Kingdom last week! It was such an amazing opportunity to have them down to my yard to film some footage of how I had been getting on in lockdown!
