Winter fun
I’ve been a little remiss with my blogs- but it’s time to share my fun!!!
Retraining a Racehorse
ROR I’ve had a lot of fun over the years working with some gorgeous Thoroughbreds off the track, my first two horses in America were ex-racehorses, and gosh, how they made me! I really enjoy helping them unlock one way of going to produce a very different way of going…
Grown up ‘Skinny’ day for Čino!! 🦄💫
So, we’ve had a couple of preschool play dates with skinny fences, and today is first big boy day in grade school!! Čino is my newest toy, having come from a background of hunting and jumping… so we have a few educational building blocks to install to turn him into…
SKINNY TRAINING
Part of the really important process of training an event horse, is to teach them to jump whatever is in front of them, and stay on their line… This is a very talented horse I have just bought to take on a journey! He has never been ‘skinny educated’ as…
Starting the next babies!

Onwards and upwards!!!

- Fiona DavidsonEventer / TrainerI have ridden horses all my life. I have relocated my yard, to Vale View Equestrian, with facilities that are out of this world for producing my lovely horses. I am very excited about having these resources at my fingertips, and the results are shining through right across the board, showing my horses are settled, happy, and now able to work every aspect of their competition needs!
