Catch up June 9th

Hello!

So much has happened in the last few months! We welcomed a beautiful new arrival who I have named Faelin! She is out of Gorsehill Belle aka Annabelle my young riders horse and The After Party aka Solo. Nick Gauntletts young stallion out of Primitive Proposal who is absolutely stunning! I have to say little Faelin is beautiful and she definitely is an Annabelle baby! Everyone is already in love with her! I can’t wait to follow her progress and see how she grows and develops! Little Fenrys is still feisty as ever and is enjoying being out in the field with everyone! I will continue to keep this updated with how they all get on!

April and May also brought loads. My exams and submissions where in full swing as well as doing embryo transfers with the mares! I will update on that in another blog post! I also got to spend a lovely weekend at Badminton Horse Trials with my parents and Maisey! Since then I have been completely immersed in exams and submissions for the last couple weeks. But most of them are finished now so I can start doing more with the horses! I took the boys out this tuesday to Summerhouse to do some show jumping and it felt so amazing to be back out competing! The boys were so well behaved and it was a great first show out!

Diarmid came in for handling which was also super exciting! I am falling in love with him more and more each day. He is so sweet and has the cutest face! Lucy and Amanda are doing an amazing job with him and I am so excited to see how he develops. I think it is so important to do lots of little bits with the babies so then when you come to breaking them in it isn’t a big drastic change for them. Plus it is lovely to get to know them and their characters!

Another fun note is it was my Birthday this past week! I was lucky to have a nice relaxed afternoon with spa and afternoon tea. I had a lovely time and it helped me recharge for the event season prep!

So I am excited to start getting back out with the horses and start competing! Onwards to summer! We have lots of exciting things planned for this year and I am so excited to get cracking! I will continue to keep this updated with everything that is going on with the horses and I, as well as interesting blog posts on performance horses and event horses! Let me know if there is anything in particular you want me to blog about!

Until next time!
