First party for Luna - and apart from getting her feet a little stuck at the top of the hill the rest wasn’t too bad 🤩

Successful first day out of crèche for the two four year olds. Luna slightly more excited than Mattie to be having her photo taken!!!
Luna is by Mermus R and out of a Bahrain Cruise mare, and Mattie doesn’t need any breeding recorded cause he’s a total dude regardless of who his parents are 🤩

Said a very sad goodbye to a special chappy recently but thrilled to see Harvey getting on so well in his new home in the UK already - finishing 4th in his first event. Well done Georgia! Exciting things to come for these two and can’t wait to follow their progress.

The three boys headed to Grove last weekend, for our last event of 2018. Ringo and Druid both jumped double clear with a few time penalties xc due to an over cautious jockey! Harvey had an unlucky pole in the jumping and was v exuberant xc so took it very handy and got a mountain of time penalties but v happy with how he went. The plan is to keep going with some dressage and jumping over the winter and looking forward to next season already.
Huge thanks to Laura and Eimear for trusting me with their mega horsies, Equus Pix for the lovely photos and to Nicole for all her help last week 🤩

Headed off to Clyda at the weekend for my first event since falling and Harvey was a total champ finishing on his dressage score to win the class and give me my first ever Eventing Ireland win. Totally over the moon and couldn’t have done it without Emma who was an amazing help as always. Thanks to Laura for looking after Harvey when I was out of action and fantastic physio Anthony Raleigh for getting me back in action way ahead of schedule. 🤩

Even though tumbles are part of the sport, it still feels totally rubbish to be out of action.. Thanks to absolutely amazing friends and family who have been so supportive - ye are mega and I am a lucky girl ! Can’t wait to get going again with the two superstars

Great day with the two boys in Annaharvey today. Ringo did a super dressage in the EI90 , had the last fence showjumping and jumped a great cross country round to finish in joint 6th, Harvey was a little fresh in the dressage but made up for the exuberance by jumping a lovely double clear and finishing in fourth in his first attempt at EI 100. Huge thanks to Emma for all her help, and to wonderful owner Laura for all the constant support

Harvey starting to be a real grown up in Coilóg on Sunday. Thanks a million to Brian Geiss for the lovely photo :)
