A little drizzle didn’t dampen the day 🌧️

Great to be out on the clinic today with Simon Tainsh—lots of excellent learning, solid progress, and plenty of confidence building all round.

Huge thanks to Simon for sharing his knowledge, and to everyone who came along and made it such a positive session. Looking forward to the next one!

Do you want to look like *this* riding cross country? 😏🏇

Confident. Balanced. Actually knowing what you’re doing between fences instead of just hoping for the best.

Or are you currently more of a “hold your breath, kick and pray” kind of rider? No judgement — we’ve all been there 😂

Come join our Cross Country Clinic with Simon Tainsh and level up your riding:
✔️ Learn how to ride lines like a pro
✔️ Stop second-guessing distances
✔️ Build confidence over solid fences
✔️ Have a laugh while you’re at it

Whether you want to ride smoother, safer, or just *look cooler doing it* — this is for you.

A few quick details for the Oxley Horse Trials pics!

First of all, a huge thank you to the committee for having us. What a wonderful friendly event, Mike said he'd never seen a happier showjumping ring and we felt so welcome even though we rarely venture down this way and most faces were new to us- the grounds were picturesque, the atmosphere relaxed, and it was exactly what I needed 🩵

I've actually finished the SJ and XC photos so I'm just culling the many dressage pictures we took and then they'll be ready to post- I would anticipate this being late tonight or early in the morning- I will post the link to the photos in the comments section of this post and also to my story when they are ready.

We got pictures of everyone in the Showjumping and everyone that made it to me in the XC- two XC locations for the 65, the 1* and some of the 80XC-, we also got nearly everyone in ring 3 & 4 for dressage and a few riders in 1 & 2 around our bookings.

A quick reminder that when they are available to purchase, photos aren't instantly sent as downloads- downloads are sent once I've gotten up to your order and have edited the photos and added them to the order for you, within 2 business days of ordering but usually within 24hrs.

The photos on the website are only proofs, they haven't been straightened or cropped or edited properly and are only to give you a rough idea of how you and your horse look in the photo- the finished product will be much nicer and more polished!

I will get back to it now so that I can get those ones up ASAP and get a start on them before we head to Albury Wodonga International Horse Trials 2025 on Friday morning- as soon as I have the draw for Albury dressage bookings will be available, keep your eyes on my story for when those ones are available.
