✨️ A fantastic return to the dressage arena for Oliver B Bommel VS, owned by Jane Cole and ridden by our sponsored rider, Tamara Egglestone Equestrian.

Having only attended a handful of shows as a young horse before Tamara’s injury, Bear enjoyed a year away from competition while she recovered. The time has clearly done him the world of good, allowing him to mature and develop, and we think he is looking absolutely fantastic. 👏

🏆 It was a successful day out, with two Novice tests scoring over 68% and a well-deserved win 🥇

Bear is fuelled by SPILLERS Perform & Restore Mash, a firm favourite thanks to its delicious apple aroma. It helps support optimum condition and recovery during busy competition periods, while also replenishing electrolytes—particularly important in the recent hot weather 🥵.

All feed is supplied by Serpells, helping to keep Tamara’s team looking and feeling their very best all year round. 💪

Hey guys, lessons over the next few days will be cancelled due to the extreme heat and amber weather warnings which extend now from today until Thursday.

Afternoons and early evenings are the hottest part of the day and so riding as early and late as possible can keep our horses as comfortable in this hot weather ☀️

First show back for Oliver B Bommel VS owned by Jane Cole, having only been to a handful of shows before my injury as a young horse he had a year of whilst I have been recovering which has given him time to mature and I think he’s look fantastic!

A successful day with two Novice tests, with 68%+ and a win 🥇

Bear is fed on Spillers Perform & Restore Mash which he loves as has a tasty apple aroma and helps support optimum condition and recovery when he is competing regularly and is fantastic in replenishing electrolytes in this hot weather 🥵 all feed supplied by Serpells who keep my horses looking fantastic all year round!

6 months post ACL surgery update - I’m finally back to shows!
Baron De Azahar, owned by Jane Cole has now been back with me for 2 months and is slowly becoming stronger.
The last few weeks we attended our first couple of shows back together and put him straight in to have a go at his first Elementary tests to gain two 2nd 🥈 at both Colraine & Chard. The aim for now are to gain his confidence in the arena so we can continue to improve our marks further over the next coming weeks at this level.

A huge thank you to my sponsor Serpells that have continued to support me in my long recovery. All my feed, bedding, and products to keep the horses looking and feeling fantastic and all supplied in store.

We are now in store for a busy few weeks as all the horses are beginning to get fit and make their return to there first shows back in over a year 🎉

When a horse feels heavy in the hand or drifts through the shoulder, most riders look at the front end.

It’s what you can see.

But as I often say in lessons:

“Whilst they focus on the front end… what about what’s happening behind?”

If the hind legs aren’t stepping properly underneath and the core isn’t engaging, the front end has to compensate.

That’s when you feel:

– heaviness ⚖️
– uneven contact
– drifting in transitions

You can’t fix a balance problem in front if it’s being created behind.

When the hind legs switch on:

“All of a sudden the core and the back are like, oh okay, you need us to be involved.”
Improving the push, connection …

And the contact softens.

If your horse feels heavy, don’t just adjust the reins.

Ask what the hind legs are doing.

Hey guys 👋

I’m now 2 months post knee surgery, I’m walking, down hills and steps are still a struggle, but i’m slowly gaining a little bit more strength everyday.

I’m still a couple months off riding my own horses in my rehab programme. Full recovery for contact sport and to be ‘normal’ can be anything between 9 - 12 months. So therefore when I return to riding hopefully in March, I won’t be able to ride as many horses everyday as i did before my injury and will just be riding my own in till my knee is much stronger again.

As I will be riding a lot less, I will have a lot more time for coaching and some regular lesson slots will be available 🙌

Please don’t hesitate to get in touch 📩
