Montie is modelling his latest look 😊 after a nervous start he ended so confident and relaxed.

More great moments this week including Tracy and Bonnie's fig 8's and left lead canter. Holly and Katie nailing the centre line and corners. 🙌🏅

Youngest horse in training ❤️. Matilda who's 7 months old. A Dales from the dales in Yorkshire. In her 2nd session today she was confident enough to accept the head collar on over her nose . Lovely progress since 1st session. 😊

Fabulous schooling sessions with these 2 this morning. Both had more suppleness, balance and the energy levels became just right too. ( usually one is high energy other is low ). A joy for me and the horses were very happy too. 😍. Looking forward to seeing the owners riding them again to feel the difference.

Please can I have today every day ? Brilliant lessons all round. Straightness training groundwork . Franklin balls to help a rider learn where level really is. Tracy n Bonnie improved their left circles so much and nailed left lead canter again. Chloe worked towards collected trot and also had a go at Renvers for the 1st time and aced it. Finished with a 2nd session with lovely Bella who had obviously remembered everything from the 1st lesson and was golden 💕 .

2 Hafies in one week 💕 Here's Indie after her hair appointment 😊

Damson did fabulously in her 1st groundwork session since Christmas. Leg yield zig zags, shoulder ins , Travers and turn on haunches .A couple of thoracic lifts . 😍 A nice yoga workout....

Those who know me know I don't like "putting myself out there"on social media so I'm doing something slightly different today....
Here's why I started on my horsemanship and riding journey/quest.
Introducing my 1st love Misty.💕 Difficult to load, wouldn't hack alone, hosepipe phobia,Bolted if a cycle came near. Hated plastic bags and umbrellas. Wouldn't go over a pole on the ground.
Asked myself this question every time. How can I help my horse with this?
Still today ,30 plus years later , I'm asking how can I help my clients and horses with this ? Super proud to help you all with your journeys too.

Fabulous improvements today ! Great trots, canters and a huge change of thinking for a mare in her 1st ground work session although I nearly got washed away in the monsoon 💦💦💦. Well done everyone 🙌 ( picture for attention , not from today ).

Beautiful bottoms 😁

Good changes made with balance and energy during Liz and AJ's lesson this morning.

It isn't everyday you bump into this fella whilst schooling a client's pony !

When your clients horse has a better hairstyle than me ! 🤣

Holly and Katie had a practice in their showing bridle with 2 sets of reins. We had a big improvement in balance and therefore outline when we focused on where the horses weight went. Great learning.

Wishing everyone a very merry Christmas and a happy new year !

When the consistent work starts to take effect... Tilly did her best trot work today. She felt amazing , she glided along hardly touching the floor.... keep up the good work Kelly and Tilly. ❤️

Really amazed that some outdoor arena's were still usable this week ! Niki really improved Prada today with the walk exercises I suggested. ❤️ . Bonnie had more breakthrough moments doing 3 left lead canters on the lunge then one ridden. She also dabbled with a bit of medium trot 🙌

Another happy customer 😊. Duke and his fresh hair do

Thank goodness for indoor arenas ! I Worked on straightness and suppleness with Polly as her owner couldn't get her riding boots on over her thick socks. She declined to do a lesson with no stirrups! ( Flat soled snow boots wouldn't go down well with my insurance company 😳).

Thought I'd colour coordinate with Damson this week 😀. Ridden groundwork resulted in some lovely soft movements. Yummy.

It was arms and back exercises for Liz in today's lesson. Lovely to see the changes made and also a positive difference with AJ too 🙌

Amazing session with Elsa this morning. She'd remembered everything we'd done last time and finally let go of unnecessary tension and started swinging through her back in trot. A beautiful feeling for both of us ❤️.

A bald Bailey ! 😊

It's great to see that the steady consistent work is paying off 🙌🎉❤️. Excited for next year ! Well done Holly and Katie. X

Stunning Louis showing off his haircut.

Had the pleasure of helping with lovely 3yr old River as her mum was finding it really hard to lunge her on the right rein. The day after I had this message ❤️

Had the pleasure of clipping ex racehorse Stitch today. Very unusual markings/ bay roan colour. Fabulous tail........

Bonnie had a major breakthrough today and gave Tracy a fabulous left lead canter. 🎉🙌🙌. Wonderful to see.

Clips montage 😁, these 3 are small clips for a little ventilation .

Well done AJ and his mum Liz who Scored 67.64 in their first online dressage comp 🙌🎉.

Wow , that was a wet and windy lesson this evening 💦💨💦💨. Can't believe we had blue sky this morning when I took young Elsa out for a hack for her owner.She was a little 🌟.

And the correct answer was .......🙌 . If you want to find an ease in lateral work get in touch ☺️.

Duchess asked me " Jo is my halt square ? " 😊
