”So pleased! After only being in the ring 3 times since my operation (Last July!) and not jumping a 1m10 for who knows how long, today we were 2nd out of 71 in Royan!

Not had a late night like this since the scope days 😂

Hope she continues being good tomorrow and I can get my butt in gear and let the handbrake off a little bit 🙈”

”Finn aka Final Getaway went out for his first dressage competition yesterday. Kept it low level just to see how he dealt with a busy warm up arena, white boards and flowers! Although nervous he took it all in his stride. Acted like a pro while waiting around and warming up. Nervous in the dressage arena but some really positive moments to come away and work on.”☘️

Sold to Rebecca Tooley as a just backed Irish Sport Horse 4-year-old…

“Morning. Just an update in case you ever wonder how they get on (you must lose track I expect!) We took Blue to his first BE80 at Munstead. He did a beautiful dressage test and competent SJ round. 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). He’s an absolutely wonderful boy and the dressage judge commented that he is a ‘quality horse’.”☘️

“Hi, I hope you’re well. Just wanted to say how pleased we are with the 4-Year-Old TB (they named her Nala) we bought from you in April. She was for a 13-Year-Old girl coming off ponies. She has been to pony club camp and done various clinics over the summer. Her flatwork is coming along nicely and she is starting to make a nice shape over fence. Although I have helped her along the way she has done the majority of it herself. This is her popping a little cross this morning.”☘️

☘️ Jerry – “the star of the show” at the prom

”Thought I’d give you an update! Jerry took me to prom a week ago and he was amazingly chilled and relaxed. First ever time with a large dress on the back and was surrounded by Lamborghinis and Ferraris revving their engines. He was the star of the show and was getting photographed left right and centre! He’s also had a modelling opportunity come up for a couple of equestrian brands! He’s got such a pretty face!.”☘️

☘️ “…an absolute cross country machine…” says eventer Marshall Johnson

”Hi James, just wanted to give you an update on the four year old I bought from you last year: Silver Bay (Henry). We gave him some time to mature and grow in the second half of last year then have started competing this spring, coming 5th in our first CT. He’s done two BE’s so far and is proving an absolute cross country machine already with his movement a big hit with the dressage judges. He’s also the calmest young horse on the ground I’ve ever had which is great because I go to a lot of competitions myself so it’s great knowing I can leave him happily eating hay by the trailer. I’m so happy with him and really looking forward to taking him up the levels.”☘️

”Hi… I’ve seen you’ve shared a few horses bought from yourselves over the years… this is Sprout, bought from you 15yrs ago (I did buy a couple more as well, to sell on) He evented to 2☆, won foxhunter SJ classes and hunt relays, took my 76 yr old mother hacking and towed a sledge in the snow with my kids on it. He was unique, he was put down this week and when we get over how sad we all are, we will be back hoping you have got another like him. The best money ever spent.”☘️

”Hi there! Just dropping a quick message to let you know how Monty is getting on.. he had his vetting yesterday and passed so very pleased with everything! He’s still being a superstar, although the cheeky baby brain is coming out slowly 😊 He’s been doing a lot of inhand work and loose schooling (more like checking himself out in the mirrors for 45 mins) and I just love him!
Thanks so much for selling him to me, he’s such a dream 😊☘️

”Hi, I brought two lovely greys of you many years ago, the grey mare who’s now Sophia and I have got a grey gelding from you called Smurfy. Smurfy has recently moved onto new things with a lovely girl as he enjoys his jumping and i have decided to step into pure dressage. Which leads me into looking to find another new best friend … P.s I still have the grey mare Sophia. She will never leave me. I adore her so much and she’s won me so much dressage and taken me to all BD championships. She’s 10 now and I’ve had her for 7 years 😁”☘️

She’s been fab, took a bit of time to settle and she’s got lots of growing to do, but she’s looking better and better on the flat, loves her hacking and has started to do a bit of jumping.

A further update on Keith:

“Keith has his first competition today and he was amazing! He took absolutely everything in his stride, considering he’s never seen an indoor, dressage boards or mirrors he didn’t put a foot wrong! I was complemented so many times on how grown up he is for his age and how well mannered he is! ”
“Hi James! Keith had his first hunter trials today! He’s only ever seen cross country jumps once and went on to fly round an 80cm clear to place 5th alongside our pair partner!

“The 2 I bought 3 weeks ago…..
Maisie is super! brave, super action best temperament! Already been off the yard to school over some showjumps she has caught so much attention already! She is a show girl for sure! Can’t wait to take her to her first competition in a few weeks time. And Brooke (4 year old) is Fab, again the best temperament, been out hacking lots, abit of long reining, and getting her going well around the arena, just taking some time with her to establish her as I think i have a superstar in the making and an owner already would like to be involved in owning part of her which is really exciting as she will stay apart of my team then for a good while, thanks again!

“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”

“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 ❤️”

“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! 😬😂🥂 “

☘️Showjumper Charlie Seymour says “they have progressed into such handsome boys” of her two 4 year olds…

“ 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 🦄”
