The end of an epic Changing Lives Through Horses academic year. I've been blown away by the personal growth and transformation in the lives of our young people this year. No limits... Here's to September 2026 🐎🐴

A bit about Phoenix 🐦‍🔥...

I used to ride Dressage horses when I was an apprentice groom. I always wanted to come back to Dressage but there was no way I could afford to buy a decent horse, so I bred one. I was fortunate to find an old Oldenburg stallion with Donnerhall lines 4 miles down the road and I took my TB mare to stud. We walked all the way because I didn't have transport. Phoenix was born in June 2022. Both parents are only 16hh but he decided he wanted to be more like a giraffe and at 3 years old he was taller than his mum. I'll be starting him lightly under saddle towards the end of this summer and will be using progressive, positive rewards based training. He's pretty easy anyway because he's never had anything bad happen to him. I'll share some of my training videos as we progress.

Another well done Amelia... First qualification in the bag 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻.
