A nice morning at South View for their BS show. Percy and I jumped in the 95cm Amateur class. He jumped super and was pretty quick in the long gallopy jump off course. Finished up 4th out of 25. On to the Discovery, which I need one more double clear in and I can see it’s going to haunt me. So much so I decided to scrap that plan and not try and get my double clears for the second rounds 😂 I was coming into the first fence thinking I don’t think the bell has gone, so I steadied up, then it went, so off we went 🙈 I should have taken a moment and done another circle before starting but didn’t, so in a little bit of a flap and he was strong and just tapped the 3rd fence out. Then I jumped the rest totally uncommitted and had another in the jump off where I got deep. Hind sight is a fine thing but I definitely should have taken another turn and got ourselves together before starting. Slapped wrist for me. Percy had fun and actually looking back at the video he jumped well. 👍🏼
Another super day yesterday for HRH Pony Adventures and Mrs Marni. We went to Springbank Arena for the second time. They jumped a clear round and then the first class which they were clear in so into the jump off for another clear and 4th place out of 13. I was incredibly chuffed with both of them. 3 rounds, all clear and no diva moments from Marni. I love that Marni is really starting to understand that at this stage she just needs to trot and pop, not do these big exuberant jumps that she can stick in. Such a great venue to encourage the little ones to get going. Kublox #kubloxnextgeneration Aldford Apparel Ltd

Decided to go for a jolly and start in the 90 open having not jumped for a few weeks. He was super cool and flew round, but was ultra responsive to me and turned up super tight on two occasions in the jump off giving me a bit of an “eeeekkkk” moment 🙈 but was a total dude and came home clear over 8 seconds faster then any other combination in either section giving us a clear win 🏆 Then in the Discovery he jumped a super round but was super unlucky to have the first fence in the jump off so we just kept the handbrake on and popped round. But I did one super long one, should have just rode it like a normal round and let him take me 😂
Wait for the til you see the video for my “eeeekkk” moment. @hassall294 gives it away in the video as to where it is 😂 #beep #mrprecision #sporthorse #cowpony #homebred #horsesofinstagram #kittedoutbyShires #TeamShires (Shires Equestrian) #FedonEquerry (Equerry Horse Feed) #saddledbyAdamEllis (Adam Ellis Saddles) #PhysiowithNWVP (Northwest Veterinary Physiotherapy) #ChampionRider (Champion Equestrian Wear) #shelteredwithExcelClad (ExcelClad Stables and Shelters) #clippedbythemasters (Masterclip Clippers UK) #BeddedOnConcord (Concord Equestrian) #trainedwithmirrors (Mirrors for Training) #travelledinstylewithElite (Elite Coachworks & Horseboxes Ltd) #floatingonFlexiride (Equestrian Direct Surfaces) #housedatDodcott (Dodcott Grange Stables) It was another successful trip albeit with a few cheeky diva pony moments (I’m going to blame the antlers and wings!!!) on Sunday at the Nantwich Riding Club Christmas showjumping. Harriet and Mrs Marni won the first class and were 2nd in the second class and won the Fancy Dress. As I say we had a few dramas in between, with a very stylish freestyle dismount, even Tom Daley would have been impressed!!! But a lovely day with friendly faces. I can tell you I was one sweaty Ed having fun round a 13 fence course twice!!

What a lovely morning we had at Springbank Arena today. Harriet and I headed with Mrs Marni, Auntie Nikee, Ted and Dolly for our first attempt at indoor showjumping. Such a friendly venue and lots of children with ponies all having fun. We first of all popped round the clear round and then did the first class and where she went clear and went back in for the jump off and was 2nd in a large class. So proud of them both. Harriet did get a little cold and Mrs Marni was getting a little expressive over the fences so Harriet had her work cut out holding on. She also had to sit a rather large buck in the prize giving when Marni got her sassy pants on 🙈😂 HRH Pony Adventures Kublox Aldford Apparel Ltd #hrhponyadventures #mrsmarni #poniesofinstagram #ponyrider #kittedoutbyShires #TeamShires (Shires Equestrian) #FedonEquerry (Equerry Horse Feed) #saddledbyAdamEllis (Adam Ellis Saddles) #PhysiowithNWVP (Northwest Veterinary Physiotherapy) #ChampionRider (Champion Equestrian Wear) #shelteredwithExcelClad (ExcelClad Stables and Shelters) #clippedbythemasters (Masterclip Clippers UK) #BeddedOnConcord (Concord Equestrian) #trainedwithmirrors (Mirrors for Training) #travelledinstylewithElite (Elite Coachworks & Horseboxes Ltd) #floatingonFlexiride (Equestrian Direct Surfaces) #housedatDodcott (Dodcott Grange Stables) 3-12-21
I am so immensely proud of my homebred 4 year old Nancy, who is out of my first homebred mare Florence. It’s amazing in itself to be able to say that. So the day after she left the yard to be ridden under saddle for the very first time, she went back to S and G Equine Ltd Weaver Equestrian to have her first ever attempt at being ridden in an arena with other horses and to go inside the white boards for a dressage test. She was honestly incredible. Obviously the test was far from perfect and we need to work on a much more consistent contact, but she went in the arena, did a very relaxed, rhythmic and accurate test to score a generous 71.08% to finish up in 4th place in a large field of 18 competitors. Proud doesn’t really begin to describe how I feel right now. I’m a little lost for words. She really seemed to enjoy her experience and had her ears pricked from start to finish. Thank you to Camilla for coming along to take charge of Ted and film whilst I rode and to Vicki Hall photography for the professional pictures. #flomirozed #amiroz #4yearold #futureeventer #sporthorse #horsesofinstagram #kittedoutbyShires #TeamShires (Shires Equestrian) #FedonEquerry (Equerry Horse Feed) #saddledbyAdamEllis (Adam Ellis Saddles) #PhysiowithNWVP (Northwest Veterinary Physiotherapy) #ChampionRider (Champion Equestrian Wear) #shelteredwithExcelClad (ExcelClad Stables and Shelters) #clippedbythemasters (Masterclip Clippers UK) #BeddedOnConcord (Concord Equestrian) #trainedwithmirrors (Mirrors for Training) #travelledinstylewithElite (Elite Coachworks & Horseboxes Ltd) #floatingonFlexiride (Equestrian Direct Surfaces) #housedatDodcott (Dodcott Grange Stables) 2-12-21
Arrow and I currently could only win a shaggy pony competition so what a lovely surprise to receive this beautiful rosette from the Weaver Equestrian Riding Club Awards for their Outstanding Performance Award as part of the Horse Trials BRC Team back in the summer when the Team was 1st and 9th and individually we were 2nd and 7th. Thank you Team Weaver and congratulations to our team mates 🥰 27-11-21
What a wonderful evening Harriet and I had at the Nantwich Riding Club Awards Night. She won the overall points for everything that we entered with them through the summer and also took Reserve Champion in the Family Showing Ring and Reserve Champion in the Diddy Working Hunter Pony ring. She absolutely loved collecting her rosettes and trophy’s. She then hit the disco and pulled some great shapes before heading home and whilst I fed the horses she unpacked all her prizes to show Mrs Marni 💖💖 HRH Pony Adventures Kublox Aldford Apparel Ltd #hrhponyadventures #mrsmarni #poniesofinstagram #ponyrider #kittedoutbyShires #TeamShires (Shires Equestrian) #FedonEquerry (Equerry Horse Feed) #saddledbyAdamEllis (Adam Ellis Saddles) #PhysiowithNWVP (Northwest Veterinary Physiotherapy) #ChampionRider (Champion Equestrian Wear) #shelteredwithExcelClad (ExcelClad Stables and Shelters) #clippedbythemasters (Masterclip Clippers UK) #BeddedOnConcord (Concord Equestrian) #trainedwithmirrors (Mirrors for Training) #travelledinstylewithElite (Elite Coachworks & Horseboxes Ltd) #floatingonFlexiride (Equestrian Direct Surfaces) #housedatDodcott (Dodcott Grange Stables) 28/11/21
Top morning for Percy and I at SouthView Equestrian Centre. Which was just what we needed after a slightly disappointing time at the Amateur Champs at Aintree a couple of weeks back having an unlucky fence down in each of our jump off’s of the qualifying rounds and the disaster on the motorway. This morning we jumped in the 95 Amateur and Discovery and took the double after two fantastic rounds. He was absolutely loving it today, he loved the gallopy long jump off tracks. I had little say in the second jump off but he saw some great long ones and took them all. By the time we had finished it was pretty white over with snow falling quite heavily but we got home safely. We love days like this. I love my pony 😘💙 Lovely catching up with friends to. #kittedoutbyShires #TeamShires (Shires Equestrian) #FedonEquerry (Equerry Horse Feed) #saddledbyAdamEllis (Adam Ellis Saddles) #PhysiowithNWVP (Northwest Veterinary Physiotherapy) #ChampionRider (Champion Equestrian Wear) #shelteredwithExcelClad (ExcelClad Stables and Shelters) #clippedbythemasters (Masterclip Clippers UK) #BeddedOnConcord (Concord Equestrian) #trainedwithmirrors (Mirrors for Training) #travelledinstylewithElite (Elite Coachworks & Horseboxes Ltd) #floatingonFlexiride (Equestrian Direct Surfaces) #housedatDodcott (Dodcott Grange Stables) Yesterday we headed to AINTREE INTERNATIONAL EQUESTRIAN CENTRE for the STARS Champion of Champions 2021 Final. Mrs Marni and Harriet had qualified to represent Nantwich Riding Club in the M&M Lead Rein Final which was a massive achievement in itself. It was a huge atmosphere and had 43 competitors in the class that could be up to 10 years old. We knew it would be strong competition but what a fantastic experience for Harriet at 4 years old. Anyone that knows Mrs Marni will know just how sassy she is but honestly yesterday I couldn’t fault her. She was absolutely fantastic. A little strong in the individual show but sort of to be expected in the circumstances. Unfortunately she got a little cough half way through our show but other then that she was fab. And Harriet rode beautifully. In fact you’d never have guessed we were at such a big show, she just got on with it and took it all in her stride. She even spoke lovely to the judge when he spoke to her. I couldn’t be prouder of the pair of them. They weren’t placed in the top 12 but we never expected to be. It was all live streamed so we watched it back at night and Harriet was very excited to see herself on TV. Such a fun day with Granny (Lyn Fishburn), Auntie Milla (Camilla Hardie) Ted and Dolly.
