Still can’t quite believe this…Another day out and Oscar pulled it out of the bag finishing second today and second overall in the dressage league after our win last weekend. I’m completely over the moon with him. So proud of how far he’s come and excited to keep learning, improving, and getting better and better as the season goes on 🦄

Still a little bit surprised but very, very delighted 😍
Our first day out this year and what a way to start, winning our class! Oscar has certainly set the bar rather high for us! Feeling incredibly lucky and very grateful to start the season this way.

What a fabulous day at Moate Show yesterday! Oscar was a star, finishing 2nd in the Ridden Connemara Class 🌟 He just keeps getting better, and with the help and guidance from we’re excited to see what next year brings!

Another weekend in the placings with Oscar finishing 3rd in the Open Connemara Pony and jumping a fabulous clear round in the Local Working Hunter at Athlone Agri Show. Over the moon with his progress so far this year, thanks again to for all your hard work in getting us here! Onwards and upwards 🦄

Absolutely thrilled with Oscar after his first time at the Airc Festival. Ridder error caused a pole down in the Connemara Working Hunter but we still managed to finish 9th in a large class of 28! To finish off the day we placed 5th in the Connemara Show Class in strong company, over the moon with Oscar taking it all in his stride and hopefully we will continue onwards and upwards! Thank you so much to for your compassion for Oscar’s wellbeing, he has regained his confidence and is loving competing again . And thank you for the fabulous photos.

Oscar added another win to his belt winning the newcomer class at Tynagh Riding Club’s show yesterday! Over the moon with his progress so far this year, hopefully his lucky streak continues!

A great day out for Dalysgrove today with myself and Batman zooming around the individuals at National Hunter trial Championships today, even if we were a little bit too fast for the optimum time 🙈 Absolutely delighted with Batman jumping his socks off! also represented the club with two superb rounds in the pairs and individuals! Thank you to all at and for a great day out!!

A superb day today with Oscar pulling it out of the bag and winning his class, with my highest ever dressage score to date! And Batman miraculously managed to finish fourth in his class despite his very best dragon impersonation 🙈 Hopefully next time he remembers he is in fact a horse and he is also supposed to be a cool, calm older gentleman, not a roaring lunatic…..

Oscars 2025 debut as a dressage diva started with a bang finishing 2nd in his class 🤩 Thank you so much to all at Mosstown Riding Club for organising a great day. To top it all off we also ventured to to see the amazing WarHorse, such an incredible performance!

Absolutely in love with this photo of Apollo aka Castlepark Cassanova from show on Saturday at where we finished 3rd in the 2 year old c**t/gelding class. We have both definitely improved but still have lots to learn! Thanks to all for a great day out and to C G D Photography for taking such a lovely photo 😍. **t

We had a phenomenal day at Moate Show yesterday with Apollo not only winning the 2 year old Irish draught class but also being Irish Draught Reserve Champion! The mud and rain was worth it! **t
