Let’s Discuss : Riding Lessons
Todays topic: Can you substitute lessons for reading articles or youtube videos? There no denying there is a lot you can learn from YouTube and reading - a hell of a lot. I am not debating that. However can these really fully be a substitute to having lessons? While riding I have come across a [...]
Solid Ground
Last year I took the back shoes off of Eva. I took them off after she lost one of the back shoes and there was a bit of fuss about getting it back on. I realised that she didn't appear to be bothered about the missing shoe and the fact that the last few times [...]

May so far …

Firstly through no fault of anyone unfortunately our yard was put on lock down with no one allowed in or out therefore all competitions, clinics and lessons were cancelled.

Showing Show
Last Sunday Eva and I had a showing show! We have done it once before during which we both were thoroughly soaked, leaving Eva highly unimpressed at the whole showing faff. By soaked. I mean we were soaked. It was a good experience last time, but Eva didn't take too well standing still while horses [...]
