Great to be back jumping outside again in the sunshine,
We had two very good days at Cherwell and Wellington lots of double clears for all four horses, Big Star Z owned by Elinor Fleming, Elvira M owned by Hilary Clemerson , Hulten owned by Emily Renouf and June hof ter Zeedyke owned by Wendy James and Bonny Harrison.
Finishing of with a win in the 1.40m for June at Wellington.
Thanks to Sport Horse Supplies for all your supplies especially all the Kentucky Horsewear boots, saddle clothes and pads

Successful last two indoor shows at Keysoe CSI 2* and south view winter classic. Wendy James and Bonny Harrison’s June hof ter zeedyke a 5th place at Keysoe in the big tour Middle day and 4flts in GP that didn’t see many clears at all. She finished Southview with 3rd in the winter classic GP jumping two lovely clear rounds over a very big and technical track in first round and again in a jump off that needed plenty of scope and a carful horse
Hulten owned by Emily Renouf also placed at both shows and Elvira M owned by Hilary Clemeson just went to south view and jumped double clear in the Newcomers then two Foxhunters over three days.
A well deserved mini break now for the horses before outdoor season starts mid March

Two very busy days coaching in Jersey again, fabulous sunny weather on Saturday thank you very much La Haie Fleurie Stables for allowing us to use your great facilities again.
Storm force winds on Sunday meant a lot of work and a hasty venue relocation but very lucky to be able to use two indoor arenas, thank you Karen and Trevor Barette at home farm equestrian jersey and also les Marais farm for saving the day.
Also a big thank you to all the helpers who rallied round to re organise and helped set up and taxi me between venues etc

A big thank you to olli Simmons for allowing us to use such a great venue, Becky Hill for organising everything! and all those that took part (including some new faces) for making it such a successful weekend!

Interesting thoughts below from a different sporting and physical discipline from Equestrian sports. its very relevant from a mindset point of view to our sport from both from a rider and coaching point of view.

Part time staff needed! We are looking for someone to work at home and someone to travel to shows.
Please PM or call 07775710643 for more details.

Love this quote, so true!

Nice to get out and about again! Very productive afternoon coaching at with Paul Gaff and Megan Thomas from PG Sport horses.
Plenty of positives for Riders and horses to go home with.
Hiring these show centres Arenas with a full course ready built is a great way to improve your ring craft and iron out any issues you may have with the added bonus of being able to take plenty of time to get things right!

Great afternoon at Cherwell Competition Centre with 6 horses for training with Paul Crago yesterday!

Great to have some lessons, first time in 18 months for me, and lots to come away with!

No videos unfortunately of my lot, but here’s working rider Megan Thomas on her own horse Grace.
