Our schoolmaster Illicit is in his first full year of showing and has qualified The Veteran National Championships at Arena Uk at the end of August .💚💜 We wish Illicit and our coach Rebecca the best of luck . 🤞 x

Illicit has been in our Riding school since he was 6 years old. He is a regular schoolmaster for lessons .

Rebecca Dearden & Illicit GB (Lulu) - age 20. This combination qualified at H.O.P.E. Regional Final for the Veteran Supreme Final.

Illicit is an ex racehorse, who had a nomination for the breeders cup in Kentucky as a foal. Illicit was bred at Juddmonte stud and is by their famous stallion Oasis Dream.

They are in their first full year of showing and first year of Veteran classes. They won best thoroughbred and Best of the Veteran at the same show.

They won 9th in the evening performance in the open retrained racehorse championship at Equifest this year. Rebeccas family has owned Lulu since he finished racing at the age of 6 and Rebecca has retrained him. He is really enjoying his new career of showing!

Good luck to them both and a safe journey from Warwickshire.

Well done girls you smashed it 💥. The shows took place over a two week period one at Weston Lawns and the other commencing at Onley. Also a special thank you to our trainers partner Neale for driving the lorry ✨

A beautiful reminder of our recent loss, we miss you Sam Sam
“The Last Goodbye” 🕊️🐴💔
I stood so still beside your bed,
My ears alert, my heart full dread.
They said you’d gone, your voice grown still,
Yet I keep waiting on that hill.
No whispered words, no pat, no treat,
No gentle hands, no steady feet.
Just wooden box and flowers red,
And all the silent tears they shed.
I knew your scent, I knew your soul,
You made my broken spirit whole.
You taught me trust, and how to fly,
But never how to say goodbye.
So here I stand, my head bowed low,
To feel your warmth once more, and know—
Though reins may break and roads may bend,
You were my horse. You were my friend.
🕊️🐴💔

Here’s just a few pictures and videos from a show at the weekend for ex-racers that our riding teacher took Illicit to. He looked and performed incredible! If you’d like to be able to join in with these sorts of shows and competitions you should come down and get to know us and see if there’s a special horse that takes your fancy 🐴🦄

An introduction for one of our many horses we have on the yard, this is Dreamy. She performs incredibly when jumping and is such an agile and gentle horse. Sometimes you hardly feel as though you are riding more so floating on a cloud! She is truly incredible and a one of a kind horse 💗

Here’s a little insider into us getting back into hacking since the weather has gotten nicer again! We’ve been waiting for a long time but it’s finally time to say hacking season is back so if you’re looking for a new hobby to start this summer why not come join us and give it a go

Today we said a very sad farewell to our lovely Arab ‘ Sami ‘ or ‘Samsara’ was her show name. She reached the grand old age of 33! She was such a character and a favourite in the school. In her early years she won a lot of local showjumping . Loved by all and taught many children to ride.
We will miss you very much Sami you were a very special pony. Fly high and free Sami and rest in peace . We won’t forget you thank you Sami for being such a star . ⭐ I love you Sami good night xx
