Unfortunately he was eliminated XC but we are not quite there with water confidence which was the downfall (I did expect it really). We are confident he will be fine with it by next season as we have six months of serious water exposure planned now (the dry summer didn’t help as we just couldn’t do enough with him).

“Hi Katherine I hope you are well? I bought my amazing horse from you just over 2 years ago now, the little grey mare that was know as The Unicorn. I just wanted to let you know she is doing super well such a lovely kind girl so willing and talented she has the biggest heart. We had an unexpected qualification through to the combined training championships at Stoneleigh Park just a few weeks. We went on to win! It was completely unexpected. I had in mind just taking her there for the experience with absolutely no exceptions of even being placed let alone winning. She was such a professional. We are now National Combined Training Champions! 😁 I am currently in the process of looking for a sponsor and before I start to reach out to companies I just wanted to check with you that all would be good to mention where I bought her from? Many Thanks Holly Burns”

☘️”Super proud of this mare” says eventer Maddy Dudley 2 years on from buying a 4 year old…
“Rather wet day at Aston Le Walls with indi today, a pleasing dressage of 33.3, then a 4 and 1/2 hour wait for the showjumping, in which it rained for 4 hours! Flooding the arenas, resulting in 2 unlucky poles. Then after deciding it’s just dry enough to do the cross country, indi absolutely flew over a chunky 100cm course, just picking up a couple time as I kept her slow due to the ground conditions! Also resulting in a rather muddy horse at the end of it! Also leaving giving us in 8th place! Super proud of this mare, still can’t believe she’s only 6 ❤️”
☘️Sold to eventer Alan Nolan as a 5 year old…

“Hi I bought this mare from you few weeks back and your mum asked me to let her know how she got on. After having bloods and vetting was clear she was v poorly but she’s had time and love and she is the loveliest kindest mare I’ve known. She has a bit of an opinion but she’s a real trier and I couldn’t be more chuffed with her! Such a lovely head on her for a 4 yo ! She’s changed so much so I’m quite excited that she may make a nice lil event horse.

“Such an honour to be invited to the Eventers challenge at Hickstead. Tick off the bucket list going down the famous Derby bank and over the Irish bank ✅😍. We were up on the clock and took a chancy line that didn’t pay off to the skinny combination but we will hopefully be back next year to have another go! ❤️
P.s. that millisecond of taking the first step down the derby bank made my bum twitch! 😬😂🥂 “

“ One whole year ago today we picked these two little boys up as 4yo…. Fast forward one year and they have progressed into such handsome boys who just keep on giving. They had the end of summer through to winter to just hack out straight from the fields, then in January when the ménage was built they have been in practise. So really they have got to where they are in 7months 💗
So far:
Sj course hire ✔️
Showjump lesson ✔️
Showjumping shows ✔️
Xc schooling ✔️
Dressage ✔️ (spliff is next out for dressage )
Proud of these two boys for how far they have come and will continue to go on to 🦄”
