What a super lucky girl am I?! I have got an unusually special horse in Smokie… Having had him since 4, I never imagined he was going to be so generous, scopey and brave; yet gentle, athletic and careful… 32 double clear round Gatcombe Festival Intermediate Championships, for 7th place!!!…

We’ve just arrived in heaven… The most beautiful sunset, wonderful view and the lushest grass… Little and large are making the most of all 3 as we arrive and sort a few details… This is why we do it…

Little Alvin did me proud over the weekend, making very light work of his first 90 event… Thank you Fran for doing such a lovely job with the boys!!

My homebred Rudi is turning out to be everything I dreamt of getting from my event horse… Just in a scaled down model at 15.2h… Perfect for a small person or Junior, but I think I’d have to tuck my toes in behind his elbows! Seriously classy!!
I have ridden horses all my life, and our base is now Vale View Equestrian in Leicestershire, with facilities that are out of this world for producing my lovely horses, and the results are shining through right across the board, showing my horses are settled, happy, and able to work every aspect of their competition needs!
