July 2005
Poppy all spruced up for the KWPN grading. She behaved very well and was liked by the judges who awarded her 66-68% for paces and 72% for loose jumping where she showed excellent technique and very bold attitude.
Alex, a work placement student who is with us for 4 weeks, jumping her horse Boris who is an Irish Draught Cross.
Jenny jumping Billy, a four year old Irish TB, who is giving the fence plenty of room despite the rain!
June 2005  
Lily one of our livery horses having some jumping practise with Isobel. Her owner Robyn will be taking her to Pony Club rallies and shows once she breaks up from school.
Naomi and Jasper another livery concentrating hard as they do troting poles. Naomi has had Jasper a couple of months and is aiming the 6 year old for Stockland Lovell Intro event in a few weeks time.
Poppy is proving sharp and sometimes naughty, but with lovely balanced paces...
...and an amazing jump!
Jay is sold to Gemma Adams to show jump where I am sure he will be very successful
A lovely character, he will be sadly missed
April and May 2005  
Indie competing at Portman PN where she was clear cross country. Poppy starts jumping and whilst poles on the ground posed a challenge at the beginning she adores jumping and shows tremendous natural ability.
The show jumps are moved out in the field and Jay shows he has an impressive jump developing
Eric a four year old potential event horse owned by livery Naomi Pine has his first dressage outing.
Indie does a fabulous dressage of over 76% at Blackdown Hills Event

Febuary and March 2005  
Jenny show jumping Murphy's Muddle in preparation for the spring events starting with Portman PN on April 6th
New arrival Poppy confined to her stable having sprained her fetlock joint having just been backed. Hopefully she will be back in action soon to prepare for young event horse classes
Isobel and Jay who although only in work a few weeks having been broken before Christmas is showing lots of talent on the flat....
as well as jumping. He will hopefully start some small competitions soon with the aim to doing some BYEH classes and Prenovice Events in the late Spring
Indie, a thoroughbred mare who will compete prenovice this spring starting with Portman is definitely enjoying her show jumping
and showed real scope at her first outing to a show jumping clinic at Stockland Llovel
Indie and Jay got to Stockland Llovel to practise dressage. Jay behaved perfectly at his first ever show although a little wobbly down the centre line to acheive a fourth placing. Indie was a bit too excited in the canter but showed her potential in the trot work. At a further outing at Exeter Ricing centre a few of weeks later she took second place with 68%
Murphy and Indie jump around the open at Pontispool Hunter Trials as final preparation for their first Event.
Ricky who is one of our dressage liveries belongs to Sue O'Brien and thay compete at advanced level.

Poppy finally recovered form her fetlock sprain has been very easy to back proving to be enthusiastic and quick to learn. Hopefully things will progress quickly from here.
