January Round Up

Wahoo! I got through January without even a glimmer of January blues, and it didn't seem like many others suffered with them either...Well done everyone for keepig them at bay! 💪 So with such a positive start, what did we get up throughout January to kick start our 2020!?

Well, it's been all go that's for sure, but I'm so happy as I haven't felt rushed or under pressure once this month, so it really shows I've got all-round balance struck up pretty well. From cold & crisp morning hacking, to dressage competitions and showjumping training, we've managed to pack it all into the last 31 days!

A Weekend Away Showjumping at Morris Equestrian Centre

During the last five years, there have been times that I have lost all faith and confidence that jumping around a 90cm course, with its questions and challenges, was never going to happen.

Showjumping Training - 25.01.2020

It’s been a little while since I last updated my blog with progress in our showjumping training.

Yesterday we had another private session and for the first time in a very long time, I left feeling quite disappointed. Not because of bad performance or Louie losing any confidence, but because it wasn’t perfect...
