Laura Frost Dressage

💙We welcomed Henry Peter Frost last Friday, 18th March 💙

We are unbelievably besotted and he really is just perfection.

I think even Frank was rather taken with him 🧡🧡🧡

These blonde boys definitely have more fun! Theodore and his pal Spike are in charge of making sure all the horses are fully canine friendly 🐶🐕

Dressage diva one day and race rider the next! 🔥

I am so proud and in awe of .sollitt who changed her saddle to come 3rd in the Grand Military Gold Cup at Sandown Park this week on her own Roc d’Apsis 🏇🏇🏇

Who says you can’t do it all?! 🍾

Next stop (hopefully with a wildcard!), the Winter Championships? 🤞🏼

I am so proud of these two 💖

sollitt and one of our yard favourites, Bravo Zulu (Nelson), danced to 3rd in the Novice silver FSM at Prestige in the Regional Championships with +72% with fantastic music put together by .freestyle 🎶 🎼 🎵

I have everything crossed for a wildcard for them for the British Dressage Nationals 🍾🥂🍾

Meanwhile, let’s wish Vicki luck tomorrow as she’s changing her saddle and horse and riding in the Grand Military Gold Cup at Sandown park 🏇🔥🏇

A HUGE HUGE thank you goes to my amazing sister .wollen for a lovely afternoon today celebrating the imminent arrival of Baby Frost 💙

She is seriously talented and we were all blown away by the gorgeous cake and scrummy food 🔥💖

Thank you to everyone that came 🥰

Thanks to - Damson and I have our spectating game locked down whilst .forrest.86 keeps warm riding! 💜

Damson is just relieved she still fits on my lap 😂

Such a handsome chap 😍😍😍

⭐️Theodore⭐️

Superstars Mark Forrest and Luciano were on fab form at Burrows Court on Saturday in the Novices with a huge and well deserved 78.75% 🥇⭐️ and 71.61% 🥈⭐️

Lucci just needs to slowly build up his stamina for the second test, but they are absolutely dreamy to watch and I couldn’t be more proud ❤️

Thank you to Mark for producing him so well at the beginning of his competitive career 🥂

🐶💤

I am absolutely thrilled to have Diamond Dove back in work with .meadows after several weeks break.
She seems to have been watching and learning from all the others whilst she’s been relaxing and has come back stronger and better than before 😍
I am definitely envious watching them both! ⭐️

It was my turn to experience being on the sidelines yesterday at Hartpury, and I think I felt more nervous than competing myself!

forrest.86 did the most amazing job riding Luciano for me at Hartpury in the two novices for +75% and a +70% (despite Lucci being quite tired by then!) 🥳

Mark has been absolutely wonderful in continuing training my lovely yard of horses whilst I am waiting for Baby Frost’s arrival soon and I am so enjoying having him as part of this particularly special horses journey 🌟🌟🌟

Another exciting journey begins with the next generation ⭐️

My 3yr old homebred “Diamond Dove” (by the gorgeous Woodlander Double Bubble) has completely excelled herself and has been a dream to work with. This is a photo of her first day loose in the school ❤️

The future will be an exciting one with her supersonic attitude 😍

Thank you so much to Rosie for your help with her as chief jockey for me for a while!

Best boy Frank and I did our second PSG yesterday at Swallowfield, and with a very expensive mistake in the first pirouette, we managed to still score a respectable 67.5% 🧡🧡🧡

The journey has been long, but our patience and hard work has paid off 🥰 And there is no better feeling than how hard he tries for me 🧡🧡🧡

(Excuse the old photo)

It was great to be back out competing today with our first outing since the Nationals ☀️

Fidel V Singing scored just under 69% at Stourport today in the PSG. For the moment we are just HC to build our confidence at the level, but he would have had a red rozzer 😍

Thank you to Jackie Beaven for all of your help with him and Kate Carter for being a super supportive and lovely owner 🙏🏼

💜💜💜

My favourite view!

My own and Kate Carter’s stunning Fidel V Singing made his debut at the Nationals too 💞

Having only been lightly competed, he hasn’t been to many championships and found it a little overwhelming 🙈
He tried his hardest, but tension led to some free styling in our test, with extra flying changes and some smart looking one time changes at one point (not required at Advanced Medium 🙈). However, he felt a million dollars in between and is going to be a seriously super horse once we gain some confidence.
It doesn’t always go to plan on the day, but it was an educational outing for him that you can’t replicate anywhere else and it’s all part of the journey…

Onwards and upwards! 🏔

Thank you to Jackie Beaven for all your help with him 🥰

Martha Eldred looked after him so attentively, and turned him out so beautifully

Woodlander Booker T felt absolutely amazing at the British Dressage Summer National Championships.
This time, we lacked the polish needed for a placing, but his ride-ability has improved so much in the white boards so I am looking forward to the next big show with him after a winter of homework! 🥂
Thank you Fiona Wallbank for all the work you put in keeping him feeling his best - he certainly showed us how classy he is becoming 😍
Martha Eldred made him look his best and is definitely a very talented competition groom 😊

Frank made me (and his lovely and patient owner Julie Steed) EXTREMELY proud this week with a win and +70% in his first PSG at Burrows Court. I literally love this horse more than anything 🧡🧡🧡

Anyone that knows our journey knows how special this is and I am over the moon with this huge hearted horse. He tried his hardest for me, and made the changes feel effortless and fun which is just the best feeling after a fairly long while trying to encourage him to relax about them.

Jackie Beaven has been unbelievably supportive of us and her help has been incredible for growing both of our confidence together when things haven’t seemed so easy on our journey.

Onwards on the next part of our future together 💞

Fidel V Singing so enjoyed his first stay away show at last week for the Advanced Medium Gold regional championships ⭐️

He is still gaining confidence in the white boards, but still managed a respectable 7th out of a huge class of 43 starters with some expensive mistakes.

I know that this show will have done him the world of good for future outings in his progression through the levels. He certainly enjoyed having two people doting on his every need for two whole days and behaved like an absolute dream 🦄💞

Such a proud Mummy moment today! ❤️‍🔥

Fidel V Singing, owned by Kate Carter and myself, got a very respectable +67% in his first PSG (HC) at Burrows Court.

I have had Fidel with me since he was an unbacked 5yr old in May 2018, and now at 8yrs old I was so excited to ride him in my tails already. Everything was there, and I am so looking forward to him growing in confidence at this level 😍 Clever Fidel 🥰🥰🥰

We are making the most of this glorious weather with a pub ride to 🥂🍾 with the help of Frank, Fidel and Lucci 🦄🐴🐎

Superstar Sirenka (owned by Abbey Smythe) dancing to a win with 72.11% in the PSG on our pre-regionals outing to Mount Ballan on Wednesday 😍😍😍

We have had such a fantastic few days of competing with .abbey1 ‘s ASA Sirenka at Hartpury Premier League this week 🎉

Three rosettes with three good scores from Advanced Medium to today’s hot PSG 🔥🔥🔥 Twiggy is such a talented and sensitive mare, she is so much fun to ride and I hope we’ve developed our confidence together after this week 🦄🦄

Woodlander Booker T danced to two wins at Advanced Medium today at 🦄🎉

He is becoming so much more rideable inside the white boards… finally! 😍

It is amazing to think that we are now qualifying for the winters 2022! Where has the time gone?! ⏰

Happy Birthday to our amazing Damson 💕🐶💕🐶💕🐶💕

Woodcroft Francisco tried his heart out for me yesterday 🧡 in the Advanced Medium Music Freestyle for 7th place with 70.056. A couple of uncharacteristic mistakes were super expensive in a very closely marked class! Equidance - our music is just so perfect for gorgeous Frank 🎶🎼

He felt absolutely brilliant and it was great to be back at the Winter Championships with him 🧡

A huge thank you to Jackie Beaven for coming to warm us up and always being there with your words of wisdom.

As ever, thank you to Julie Steed for your unending support.... one day we will win! 🎶🥂

Thank you for a lovely mention and photo in this weeks magazine 😍😍

Thank you to Fiona Wallbank for everything that you put in to this gorgeous horse. He really is one in a million and with Jackie Beaven’s help, we are a great team for the future 🥂🍾
