Several of my clients are progressing really well at the moment. Louise, pictured on the lovely skewbald below, has sold her good grassroots horse and purchased an unbroken 4 year old. Already he is jumping a course and is ready for a dressage test. It only seems a short time since we went to pick him from a selection of nice irish horses.
Also pictured below is vet Graham Potts, who having only ridden 8 times previously, is learning to ride completely from scratch. He is now off the lunge line and is currently working towards his first dressage test, I can't believe how fast he is improving and on a very green novice horse too, which he bought out of a racing yard. Much harder work to coach a novice on a novice, but 100 times more rewarding for both coach and rider.
I have several riders preparing for regional finals, Kirtsy Cocks, Holly Coles and Sue Peckham are all having their first attempt at qualifying for the grassroots finals at Badminton next year. I coach Kirsty and Sue in all 3 phases and Holly on the more technical aspects of XC.
More news about how they all progress in the coming weeks.
