A lovely review from Lunar’s owner, who recently competed at the 2026 PCQ Masters Championships 🏆

“Thank you so much for plaiting my mare Lunar the day before her competition. You took a big part of the stress away from the competition, which was greatly appreciated — and Lunar really looked the part! ”

I love being a part of my clients’ competition prep and helping take some of the stress out of competing. Thank you for trusting me with Lunar! 🤎

Wouldn’t recommend this product…

Unless you want supreme hold AND shine 💪✨

The Supreme Styling Cream is a real hidden gem that leaves you with the most gorgeous polished plaits and is extremely user friendly!

Thank you Equinade - Premium Animal & Leather Care Products for gifting me this product to try and review, it is officially apart of my show kit 🫶

August Members Competition Northcoast Active-Riders Group 🏆

We’re still working on rebuilding Lady’s confidence, so this weekend was all about finding the little wins.

We survived the warm-up and found some lovely moments of relaxation, both there and throughout our two tests. After a spook in our first test, we regrouped, kept going and finished with some really positive comments from the judges.

We’re also starting to see some 7s appear on the score sheet again, which feels like such a lovely sign that the hard work is starting to show.

Far from perfect, but progress and that’s why we show up.

PSA: COLLECT YOUR RIBBONS! 🎀

Even when there are only three horses in the class.

You showed up.
You survived the warm-up.
You rode the test.
You didn’t fall off 😂
You kept going when things didn’t go to plan.

You had wins outside of what the judge saw and those wins deserve a ribbon too 🎀

Thank you Queensland Off The Track for your generous sponsorship of this event.

Anyone else get so focused on the ridden aspect that they forget they have other tools in the toolbox? 👀

Since we purchased Lady, she has always struggled with picking up the correct canter lead on the right rein, and she gets quite frustrated with herself when she doesn’t. Bless her, she tries so hard 🤎

So, enter long lining.

Long lining isn’t just for youngsters and breakers. It’s another valuable tool in our training toolbox allowing us to work on balance, straightness, coordination, strength and responses to the aids, all without the rider in the saddle.

For Lady, it gives us another way to approach something she finds difficult, without repeatedly asking the same question under saddle.

Sometimes the answer isn’t to keep asking the same way, sometimes you just need use another tool from your toolbox.
