Baby Number Two!
Due to work commitments the horses have had to take a back seat in terms of competing this month, although I have been training hard ready for our outing to get them all qualified for the winter regionals. With over 25 snags and handovers to do for Cyden Homes it could be said that I […]
Horses Will Be Horses…
The month got off to a disappointing start when I had to withdraw Bodyguard from the Nationals.

Firstly we went to Addington Premier League show with both Bodyguard and Felix, who were both superstars. […]
Early Starts and Late Finishes
My full-time job seems to be getting busier and busier month by month so at the moment I am struggling to get out competing as much as I would like. Earlier starts and later finishes seem to be happening on a more regular basis now! At the end of last month I helped out at […]
Difficult Decisions
