✨ 💜A little SCESC update! 💜✨

Firstly, I’d like to apologise for being so quiet on here this year! 🙈 2026 has been an absolute whirlwind, and although I haven’t had much time to post, there has been plenty going on behind the scenes! 🐴💜

I just wanted to take a moment to say that everyone I’ve been working with has been progressing really well with their training, which I’m incredibly pleased with. It’s so rewarding watching everyone develop, overcome challenges and continue to build their confidence and partnership. 🥰

In August I also welcomed a new client horse, Connie, to SCESC! 💕 She’ll be having her very own post soon, so keep your eyes peeled to find out a little more about her and follow her progress.

Yesterday was another busy day with the gang, and I thought I’d share a little video of them with you all. 🎥🐎 I hope you enjoy watching them as much as I enjoyed working with them!

A huge thank you to everyone who has supported SCESC throughout this year — whether you’ve booked me for schooling or coaching, followed along, shared my posts, recommended me to others, or simply supported us from the sidelines. It genuinely means so much. 🫶🏻

Hopefully I’ll be a little better at keeping you all updated for the rest of the year! 😂 Here’s to plenty more training, progress and adventures with the horses. 💫

Aaannndddd relax!
What a productive morning today was 😍💪 Amazing ponies and the sun even showed its face☀️🥳

Sydney’s first time back for a while and following recovery from an injury he started off slightly on his toes but settled and worked beautifully 💜

Judy is also getting back to work after needing some time off herself but is starting to supple up nicely again 💜

Edna then officially met her new set of wheels, which obviously didn’t phase her in the slightest 💜

Piglet had her turn brushing up on her lunging skills 💜

And to finish off Ted and Sophie had a play in the school getting used to each other so we can hopefully hack out one day💜

As we approach 2026 I’d like to take the time to thank each and every single one of my clients for being part of SCESCs 2025💜

I’ve seen so much progress with all of these ponies this year it’s just so lovley to be a part of making that happen 💜

Here’s a few snippets from throughout the year 💜

I look forward to seeing what we can do in 2026, Happy New year 🥳

A slightly different one for a Wednesday this week - the first clips of the year started with the lovley Rosa and Riley 😍
Both behaved well and have their next appointment booked !🥳

My clippers are currently being serviced so away for 7-10 days but please don’t hesitate to message me to get booked in for clipping! 💜

What absolute legends my guys were today 😍

Unfortunately Louie was missed today due to the rain but,

Edna worked beautifully over some poles this morning. Super excited now we’re starting to see progress as we continue building her strength and confidence in her strides! She’s really starting to look the part with her naturally softer back and head carriage 😍

Ted got to have a little play with jumping in preparation for the upcoming yard show! He was extremely strong and excited but could have jumped to the moon today 💪

Judy….well!!! Judy and Lottie had their first jump together (also in preparation for the yard show)!🥳 Judy loves jumping and can get a little enthusiastic but today she behaved beautifully! Next step…strides and to work on her bascule over the fences💕

Another busy Wednesday morning!! 💜

A lovley hack to start the day for Louie, very forward and even though we came across literally everything that could possibly eat a horse he was an absolute legend!!!⭐️

Then it was pole work for Edna, Piglet and Judy who all worked beautifully! Piglet just had a play to get used to them and working out where her feet are but Edna and Judy showed massive improvement in extending their strides to engage their back end and picking their feet up😍

Then to finish with a nice little pottle out for Ted before heading for nursery pick up 💜

This weeks been busy! 💪😍

Wednesday…

Louie 💜
He recently had a new hair cut and a few weeks off to help keep him cooler in the heat! This meant Wednesday mornings ride was a little bit exciting 😂 there was a lot to see on our ride out - cows, building material deliveries and even people gardening but Louie was a good lad! 💕

Edna 💜
With it being the school holidays now Edna’s little jockey will be coming and spending some time with us🥳 In preparation for this we went on a nice walk into the village, having cars pass us and just generally experience the faster acting environment to see how she reacted and she stayed calm and confident the whole way round 💕

Judy 💜
Getting those muscles back! We worked on suppleness’s with Judy so we used poles in a square to engage her hind end and encourage some bending. Although a little tricky at the beginning there was so much improvement by the end 😍

Sydney 💜
Continuing to build him up in the school Sydney is getting straighter and more balanced. His transitions are more instant and he showed more suppleness in his bending using squares and circles ⭐️

Thursday…

Piglet 💜
We went for a little walk with my little helper to stretch her legs and give her some time off the yard exploring. While we wait for her to be old enough for her real education to begin getting her out and about in hand builds her confidence up and also keeps her busy. I’m not sure who enjoyed it more 😂

Ted 💜
My boy had a positive schooling session after taking my mini me for a little ride… maybe a little bit of growing room 😂😍
After abit of time off he was slightly stiff but soon softened and worked like an absolute diamond 💕

Wednesday💜

💜Meet Sydney 💜

My newest member of the team 😍

Sydney will be 6 this year and still slightly green when when riding in the ménage so I will be working with his mum to help build his balance and suppleness

At the moment he likes to rely on the fencing to help keep him straight so using bending exercises and poles this will help him maintain that balance even when off the track💕

I’ve only ridden Sydney twice and I can already feel the potential with him, he just wants to give you the world⭐️

Today after his ride he had a nice bath and pamper😍

Super excited to get Sydney going and see what his future brings💜

As always, a massive thanks to his mum for trusting me with him 💜

A day I’ve been so excited for and just…WOW💕
Where do I even begin…💕

I am super excited that this brave little jockey will now working with Edna and I to further her ridden education😍

I am honestly so so proud of both girls tonight! They both took absolutely everything in their stride, they were so relaxed, listening to each other and working together 🥳

I am excited to watch Edna keep growing with her little jockeys😍💕🥳💜

Monday - Day one of a busy but exciting week ahead😍

💜Piglet and Edna 💜

Today was farrier day for the little shetlands. While Piglet enjoyed her manicure, Edna wasn’t keen on the idea (something we will continue to work on) 🤞

After the farrier while Edna had some chill time Piglet went on her weekly walk around the block with my little apprentice😍☺️💜
