August Disappeared
In short we bought and moved in to a house, promptly striped the wallpaper, re-wallpapered and painted the living room, we spent four days at Blair Atholl Horse Trials, we had a lot of family visits and Eva and I did a one day event! My fiancé and I going into August knowing all our [...]
Our next event.
Happy Monday! How on earth is it the end of July!? This year has been amazing but it is flying by! I feel like I have barely had time to ride with everything going on at the moment but in order to refocus slightly I have entered Eva and I in our next event!Woo hoo I [...]
A video shoot …
An old friend of mine from school has her own creative business and has recently started branching out in to videography. In order to develop her already amazing skills in the area she signed up to video school. As part of the course she was required to create a short film. I am delighted to [...]
Hopetoun
The week before Wednesday night we had a lesson, it had certainly been a while since we had one, and Eva and I did need a bit of a nudge - read "kick up the ass" - in the right direction as I was descending back in to the habit of doing everything. And Eva [...]

We had a miscommunication
On a bit of a whim I decided to enter Eva in to the 90cm class of a showjumping competition on the yard. I hadn't ridden Eva much that week as I was still very much on the high of doing our first ODE. Obviously Eva is now in ok shape and with that comes [...]
Refusing from the starting box…
We did it! Our first one day event! And her feet? Absolutely fine the ground was perfect for her not too hard or too soft. Granted the dressage felt a bit slippy and the jumping I protected her round because I didn't want us fly round and slipping but nothing that was sore for her [...]
