Well, a mixed weekend at Gatcombe! Friday was fantastic with Spring Prophet moving up to Intermediate level with ease finishing 3rd in his section, another horse that has really started to grow into himself and show real promise for next year! Ridgefield II was 6th in the same section with a lovely double clear which was equally pleasing! Yesterday however brought me back down to earth (literally!) with a bump. I took both 6 year olds to do the Novice and things started off well with two pleasing tests and 2 clears rounds SJ then Oakenhall True Start deposited me on the floor coming out of the water to a narrow big box brush, not all bad as up until this point he went really very nicely! Cactherston Caractacus found the water complex all together too much to look at and went very green on me so a big "E" on his results! Doubtless Cullin then finished my day off on a better note going double clear on his dressage score leaving him 11th in the competitive ON section. All I can say is that's eventing for you, one day up the next down! Read more

Times have been a bit difficult recently, but horses are a serious leveller and they help you to forget about all the harder things in life, even if its only for a short space of time.  Being without transport is very hard for me, having to rely on other people and having to constantly be asking for lifts, but we will get there eventually.   I have a very lovely client (and friend) who has kindly offered me their horsebox to use whilst their daughter is away for a year, which has given me back some independence at last.  Read more

Now that the grass in the summer paddock has almost completely gone, the horses are loving their Lucie Brix. It keeps them occupied AND tastes yummy! What's not to like?!
