Got my princess back feeling good!! Its been a slow and frustrating start to the year and I feel like I've got nowhere! A change of brakes seems to have done the trick and my girl feels like she's firing on all cylinders again. 2nd in the 1.15m and 1.20m at Summerhouse today Now to get the practice in before Hickstead!! Its going to be tough going ...
Straight off of a late shift and into the lorry ready to head to Devon County show Not a bad morning away the office for both the horses First class of the day in the local 1.20m open Zarina a tad on the wild side for 4f and Eddie jumped a smashing round to come 3rd Super pleased with him, he's really improving all the time
We are slowly getting there and so much work has gone into carefully producing this absolute power house of a horse. With a hind leg that steps under better than some grand prix dressage horses he has found it significantly difficult to deal with what to do with it. Often panicking because its so far underneath him he gets a bit stuck! Lots of trot...
Received my pre season box of goodies from Equine Products UK So lucky to have such a fantastic company keeping my horses in tip top condition and providing me with some classy kit
We attended Chard Equestrian for a clinic with the one and only Geoff Billington It was a good laugh and I think Geoff was over the moon to be having people who could jump the top of the wings! Safe to say the horses had a good workout and blew out some of those 'big course' cobwebs!
Everybody meet Rex - the newest family member here at Horsehill Farm He's an absolutely gorgeous Jack Russell and is sure to melt hearts all around the country on the road with me at shows! Watch this space for more adventures!
We are lucky to have access to some great beaches near us. It allows us to give the horses a nice change of scenery, have a good gallop and enjoy a bit of no pressure fun. My friend Sophie and I took a trip down as her horse in particular needed a spin and a good dose of salt water on some old mud fever. I borrowed our liveries fantastic 13.3h pony...
As always we thoroughly enjoyed a break from the yard to travel to Cheltenham for Gold Cup day on the Friday We had a super day, didn't lose too much money and thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere Looking forwards to next year already
Due to being injured and only able to ride the safe and sensible horses I decided to send Kingston away to Jodie Loveday so that he could stay and work and continue his education whilst I was 'off games'. Safe to say he's absolutely flourished doing lots of hacking and starting his jumping. He's also had his first haircut and looks amazing!! Very t...
Showjumper turned eventer?! First time xc for Eddie today and he absolutely bossed it like a pro!!Think hes got a new calling in life ... proper jumping machine!! Jumped everything first time including ditches, skinnies, hedges, rails. Very pleased with how confident he was and how much he enjoyed himself!
Eddie has been jumping amazingly recently and has stepped up to 1.30ms like a pro! Here's a video from Chard Equestrian at the weekend Photo courtesy of HOME | robbayesphotography

We had a fantastic weekend up at Moreton Morrell with the Forces Equine Crew Both Zarina and Eddie went up to represent Dorset Police and neither let me down! Eddie had a super double clear to come 3rd in the 1.10m Open and Zarina smashed the win by a good couple of seconds Then the evening culminated in a two fence challenge and both horses did me...
