After weaning Evee and Easter were back with their dams with no problems, the pecking order was established and each horse respected the others place. Since the birth of Ben and Blanc earlier this year, Evee and Easter have been in an adjacent field. Now the show season has come to an end, it’s time for […]
How do you make the decision to end a showing season? It’s the horses that tell you…… With so many shows still available, the horses still look good in their coats and although experiencing their growth spurts, they have all held their top lines and condition. But last night we decided to make The British […]
I really notice the work load getting three ready for a show and Friday night was a very late finish. As the sun came up Saturday morning the day started to unfold with an awe of excitement as Katie and Crystal turned up and we headed off too the Appaloosa Horse Club UK annual National […]
This morning we headed off to the American Pleasure London Counties Horse Show run by the United Saddlebred Association-UK – American Saddlebreds.

Easter’s second show was an Open Performance Gala held at Three Counties Show Ground. Her first class was called “World Breeds”, open to horses and ponies with performance potential. Easter was foot perfect, tracked up straight, stood for the judge, stood in line and was an absolute delight to work with. She was placed an honourable third from […]
A picture can say so much……
We like to arrive at any show at least an hour before our first class. Stretch the horse’s legs, offer them a drink and some kind of forage (grass / hay, depending on the venue) and assess the damage of poo stains from the journey! It doesn’t matter if it’s the same venue as last […]
At the foot at the Malvern Hills in Worcestershire, we always enjoy this wonderful County Show with or without horses. With Redheart Pascalius and Redheart Catorrius entered, it was a blessing they were still clean and braided from the day before and ready to go. Arriving no more than 15 minutes after leaving home, we […]
