A few summer moments, ft Pippa (thanks Malcolm McKemey for videoing!)
This jump exercise is a lovely one for both changing and maintaining canter leads, Pip's come on so much in her balance and awareness with this one, especially in a small arena!

Another good morning out at Felbridge this week.
Malcolm McKemey consistently scoring over 60% in the Novice tests 💪
Pippa and I jumped the 80 and 90cm, I'm really happy with how her jumping has come on and I feel like our trust in each other has really grown this year.
Marie Bancroft-Rimmer rode a fantastic Prelim test in the SNOW last week (we hid from the blizzard and failed to take any pictures!)
There's been lots of other fun things going on too, I should take more pics!

Some photos from a lovely day out on Saturday.
Malcolm McKemey rode a beautiful Novice test with a great score of 64%, and Pip and I jumped the 80cm (with one unlucky pole) and rode Elementary 2.
I haven't ridden an Ele for a few years now so was really pleased to come away with 65.86%
Probably the nicest moment of the day was at the end of my test, when the lovely judge actually got out of her car to tell me how much she loved Pippa and how beautifully schooled she was ❤️
The biggest compliment you can recieve when time, love and soul goes into your work.
Well done team Pippa, its a collective effort !
I dont usually go round with a phone whilst on top of a horse as I think they should be a phone free zone generally! And not all ponies will tolerate it either...But I took this for a lovely client as they are away on holiday and its nice to know your pony is ok :)
This little ginger ninja had been a bit stressed the last month and was settled and relaxed today which was evident by the fact I'm cantering around with a phone in one hand 🤣
Good boy! 🐴

Things have been rather chaotic of late due to moving house!
But here's a lovely picture of Pippa from last weekend amongst the chaos!
Pippa and I popped out to crabbet park yesterday - she jumped really well on a course that asked a lot of questions, with some elements she hadnt got a lot of experience with.
I accidentally dismounted rather hilariously at fence 4 (nearly stuck it.) Luckily as it was clear I was not hurt (and laughing) the stewards gave me a leg up and let me carry on and jumped the remaining 23 fences, which all went fine.
Never hurts to have an unscheduled dismount every few years, good to stay sharp! Thanks for taking us Malcolm McKemey !
