Even though the Northern Group Show is a fairly local show to us, just over an hour’s drive, we elected to stable overnight. This we believe gives the horses the opportunity to get used to their new environment and results in a more relaxed performance on the day.

Our day started with AJA ESTAREYNA in the novice mare class and she (more…)

The journey to the North Western Group ‘C’ show was uneventful, just how we like it, though it was very blustery. We arrived in good time to the show ground to allow us to bed down the stables and allow the horses time to adjust to their new surroundings, before exercising them and putting them to bed for the evening.

We look forward to seeing you there.

That’s Showing!

AJA ESTAREYNA 2nd Novice Mares

AJA ESTAREYNA 2nd Novice Mares

The North Staffs spring show proved to be an eventful affair, starting with the blow out on one of the back tyres of the wagon, just prior to arriving at Rodbaston College. Fortunately this did not affect the driveability of the wagon and we were able to get to the venue unaffected, allowing us to unload the horses, who were totally unaware that anything out of (more…)
