facebook.comBetter late than never... here are some awesome photos taken at Last Sundays dresssge by our super star friend and sponsor Stevie Purves Photography. Nuby’s first ever dressage test last Sunday... following his indoor Xc on the Saturday with Taylor... he kept trying to lock on the the white boards to jump them 🙈 hopefully the penny will soon drop that he is to stay in them... still managed two nice tests and placing 6th in BE 92. Tonto was a saint and performed 2 lovely tests although only his second or third ever attempt at dressage he tried very hard to do as he was asked, very happy with this young horse. Placing 5th in BE101 and 4th in BE 106. Derry having had his first outing last Saturday since Floors Castle Horse Trails was still slightly fresh at the Dressage on Sunday but performed a lovely test for 4th in the BE novice 110. Scoring the same as Douglas Crawford who placed 3rd on his collectives. chinook was very very fresh and most unimpressed that he wasn’t getting to jump but managed to complete the tests despite making it very clear he doesn’t enjoy dressage as much as jumping. #TheyWouldMuchRatherBeJumping #Stressage #FreshPoines #SteviePurvesPhotography #ECCLoilandgas #LuxuryScarfShop #SophieDouglasHypnotherapy #EquineSportsMassage #JadeStruthersDressageTraining #LowlandsGas #FedOnTopSpec
Such a fun day at ISEC today with 4 lovely horses, one of which was well ridden by groom at Team TT Taylor Roebuck. After the time off with the snow the horses were all very fresh today and happy to be back out competing. Taylor and Nuby jumped a really nice round in the 85 just rolling one pole. Tonto jumped a very smart clear in the 95 for 5th. Derry was a little fresh first time round having one pole, he then went back in at the end a jumped a lovely clear. chinook was last to jump in 1.05 and jumped a lovely clear for 4th even though he was very fresh. Thank you to my lovely owners who came today to watch their horses. Also so great to catch up with the lovely Stevie Purves Photography who has taken these AMAZING photographs. Thank you mum and Taylor too for all your help. #SteviePurvesPhotography #LuxuryScarfShop #ECCLoilandgas #SophieDouglasHypnotherapy #EquineSportsMassage #LowlandsGas #FedOnTopSpec

Home safe. Phew. Well done Sandra Stephen.
We left the yard in glorious sunshine and the roads were black... now driving home in the dark in drifting snow. 🙈 good job mums a good driver. 🙈
Really enjoyed being back out jumping cross country fences yesterday. Really happy with this lovely horse and so so excited for the coming season. Let's all pray the snow stays away.

Lovely little day out Sj at ISEC today. Great to catch up with everyone and I am really pleased with how this young horse jumped today. Just the one pole, I am Very happy with him especially considering how little we have managed to do over the last few months with all the bad weather etc. Also Taylor had fun competing my lovely chestnut ROR who I also think a lot of. Roll on the summer. Thank you Michelle and Mia for trusting me with your lovely horse. 😍 #SteviePurvesPhotography #ECCLoilandgas #LuxuryScarfShop #SophieDouglasHypnotherapy #EquineSportsMassage #JadeStruthersDressageTraining #LowlandsGas #FedOnTopSpec
So proud of The Delray Munky (penny) winning her race at Ayr. This mare came to us originally for education and to learn to jump and has been back with us a few times since. She is a lovely mare who really try's to please. Really excited to watch her progress in her racing career. #TheDelrayMunky #SuperStar #NotATypicalMare
Cold but fun day at Alnwick Ford today. Really enjoyed getting out competing for the first time this year with these two lovely horses. Tonto jumped a lovely clear in the 1m for 6th and Chinook jumped in the 1.05 and 1.10 For 3rd in both classes. Really grateful to the owners of these horses for giving me the chance to ride and compete them. Love these two boys ❤️ #SteviePurvesPhotography #ECCLoilandgas #LuxuryScarfShop #SophieDouglasHypnotherapy #EquineSportsMassage #LowlandsGas #FedOnTopSpec
Great lessons today with Les Smith. Really nice to get back out with 2 of the boys after 3 lots of flu and an injury to my leg which has been holding me back since the Friday before Christmas. Can't wait to get out again soon. #SteviePurvesPhotography #ECCLoilandgas #LuxuryScarfShop #SophieDouglasHypnotherapy #EquineSportsMassage #LowlandsGas #FedOnTopSpec
