Had a fantastic clinic, Roxy and I jumped a whole course, and, for her first time away from home, she behaved beautifully. She was sharper than usual, but still listened. She also found her own reflection fascinating 😂

Riding with my cousin, which happens very rarely!

We had a fantastic jumping lesson last week 💜💙 I love my little highland so so much

Had a lovely ride with two of my best friends, Hannah and Katie. This was on Roxy’s birthday💜🎂

My gorgeous girl was not in the mood for photos last weekend. She just wanted to frisk me for treats and carrots 😂

Spent some time playing with my old mare Dora, who I sold last autumn. She was still as fast and naughty as before, but listened well. I’m sure she enjoyed herself again ❤️🦄

Lesson with my cousin on her horse Sambuca

Another lovely jumping lesson on my gorgeous girlie. This was about 2 weeks ago, just before she pulled a shoe.

Last weekend Roxy and I tried our first spreads with a small painted filler. She was fantastic, and took no notice of the filler.

Roxy just loves hacking. This was from a few weeks ago, going up the bridle path that borders the field next to mine. I’m so lucky to have a fab pony in a place that has access to amazing hacking

A lovely sunny weekend with my lovely mare.

Lovely lesson with my cousin and her horse Sambuca last weekend. We did some pole work exercises to help Roxy with her weak rein. We had a much improved canter on her weak rein at the end of the hour, which felt so good 🐴❤️

A recent jumping lesson. I think I've found some of Roxy's buttons, so jumping is becoming easier for both of us 💜

A lovely jumping session on my gorgeous girl, biggest we had jumped to date!

A fantastic day of jumping a few weeks ago. First time jumping Roxy without my instructor, and she was great. A little forward and excitable, but tried her hardest for me. ❤️

From a few weeks back, working on loosening and lengthening because Roxy naturally rides tight and short. We just worked on finding a nice gentle rhythm and letting her relax her head forward into my hands.
