What a lovely weekend. Lots of horses going here there and everywhere and, lots of people coming to head quarters today for our SJ / XC clinic......we spotted lots of smiles well done everyone ❤️ Yesterday Fiona & Rosie went off to Howe for a BD show, they had great results finishing 3rd in a novice and then, went two better winning an Elementary, so proud of them both 😊😊. One of Fiona’s old ride Archie went to another dressage competition last week with our very own Daniel, they finished a fantastic 2nd in the veteran dressage Champs.....well done ✅ ❤️ Yesterday Irene Gawith’s Bea & Emily’s Robbie went off to SNEC with Emily to jump at the NPS Spring Show. They had great results in the intermediate section with Bea winning the 13hh, and Robbie finished 5th in a very popular 14hh section, super chuffed. Anna Smallwood also had great results finishing 6th in the int and 4th in the RI qualifier, well done 👍 Today Irene Gawith’s Zeus and Hero hit the road back to SNEC while Mr O held the fort at home for the clinic. Miss O today had the ride on Zeus, they were 3rd in a very large open ridden section, luckily her mum beat her (😜) with Hero who finished 2nd. Then Emily proceeded to go into the other arena for the junior ridden classes on Zeus......and she had a great time winning her class and finishing champion......so proud of them both, and it was the first time Emily had ridden with 2 reins in a class #proudmum ❤️❤️ Thank you to all our owners and supporters for a great weekend, and thank you to the guys back at the yard 👍👍😊 Now you can all guess what we opened once we got home 🍷 🍸 Fed on Spillers, ridden in Childeric UK.

Due to a cancellation we have a space in our 5pm XC lesson tomorrow (Sunday) with James, jumping 75/80. Please PM us to book and tag anyone who might want to come! Thank you!

Well what a few days!!!! David Gatherer running a clinic on a Saturday, James Oakden teaching all day Sunday and, Olivia Wilmot having some great sessions on Monday. Well Done everyone, a great few days!! 3 x 4 Star ⭐️ event riders in 3 days, lucky Fife!!!!! Meanwhile on the yard we are busy with young horses and the showing lot had a good BSPS show on Saturday. Great week of work and lots more still to come. The amount of new people we are meeting at the moment is amazing, the smiles after they have ridden is lovely to see...........we have had our eyes opened in the last few weeks; since putting on more clinics it has made us realise how many hard working combinations there are out there working their way trying to achieve their goals......it’s lovely to see. More clinics will be advertised soon, anyone got any suggestions?!?! ❤️❤️

Love this photo from today, thank you so much dave!
