Straight from the horses mouth 👄

Here’s what Jenny has to say about her experience of Ingliston;
“Apart from the amazing situation of the yard, surrounded by breathtaking views, what I noticed when I first arrived at Ingliston is how Aisling settled immediately into her new home. She had had a bit of a journey to get there and was comfortable to lie down for a snooze after a couple of hours. The staff at Ingliston are fantastic and always keep my mare in the way that she expects to be kept…like a princess. As she has EMS, I am constantly checking her routine, and the staff accommodate my needs quickly and positively. We are both very happy here and take advantage of the fabulous facilities. Thank you Victoria, Ann, and all the Team!”

If you are looking for somewhere to settle before winter why not give Victoria an to see what our livery packages include - [email protected] 📧

🐴 MEET THE DEMONSTRATORS: MADDIE & KITTY - BRIDLELESS JUMPING

What happens when you take the bridle away? 👀

Meet Maddie and Kitty, who’ll be joining us at Scotland’s Horsemanship LIVE to demonstrate the training, trust and communication behind bridleless jumping.

Kitty is a 14-year-old Connemara with a seriously impressive CV. During her seven years with the family she has competed at British Eventing, won the UK Connemara Eventing Championships, competed at Elementary British Dressage and, most recently, headed to the Badminton Grassroots Championships.

And she did the jumping phases in a bitless side-pull bridle.

Maddie first began exploring bitless riding after noticing that Kitty actually became less strong and more focused without a bit. With additional groundwork and training, their bitless work progressed — and Maddie soon discovered that Kitty was just as responsive without a bridle at all.

Now, one of Kitty’s favourite things is jumping with nothing more than a neck rope. 🤍

At Scotland’s Horsemanship LIVE, Maddie will take us through that journey and demonstrate how the communication normally associated with reins and a bridle can be developed through training, body language and trust.

With the UK's first dedicated bridleless competition recently bringing huge attention to this rapidly growing area of horsemanship, there couldn't be a better time to explore what riding without a bridle actually looks like.

Come and see it for yourself.
