Some days I remind myself how lucky I am to do be able to do a profession that is also my passion.
At times, I feel I haven't worked hard enough or achieved enough but then I remind myself that it all started when I was young, and I used to jump on my bicycle and beg any local farmer who had a horse ( usually a cart horse) for a ride in turns for mucking out.
Now, I'm living and breathing horses and have a wonderful support team around me and superb facilities to train.
So, I ensure I just enjoy it. πŸ‡πŸ€©

Lovely Poynstown AER J won the PSG bronze Area Festivals yesterday.🍾πŸ₯‚βœ¨οΈπŸ‡πŸ₯°
I finished the test thinking, I should have done better. So it was a lovely surprise to me, to be stepping onto the podium.
Murphy was less surprised to be celebrated. He knows he deserves all the attention and treats he can get!
Plus he thinks he looks very handsome wearing a sash!

It was a wet, windy and cold day! Thanks to Murphy was kept warm and thanks to he looked super smart. With help of I felt safe and smart.
And thanks to everyone at home and at the show for the encouragement and support!

It's been incredibly wet and dull over the last few months. It's those little moments of brightening and breakthroughs in training remind me why we're all working hard!
Our Dancing Queen has had a year to get stronger and to see more of the world.
I have taken my time, and our results do want to be more competitive, but she is enjoying her work! ❀️
Most importantly, she has been recognized as a horse with a big future! βœ¨οΈπŸ‡

To me, this is the the best news and the very motivation I need, even when the time of year suggests I should be hibernating!


Thanks to everyone helping at home or at shows! Roll on spring! eq

It wasn't as sunny yesterday at our first outing of 2026, but we did escape the icy rain and I was so pleased with our result!

There are always areas that need attention and work but the main thing is, our confidence at PSG is growing and our improvements can be seen.
Poynstown AER J (Murphy) always tries to please and if I give him the best chance, he will do even better!βœ¨οΈπŸ‡β€οΈ

In my opinion, dressage is a steady, process of learning, adjusting and being critical without being too hard on yourself, and certainly never on your horse.

Details are important, but if we focus too much on the details, we can always find issues and it can easily lead to a negative path.

It is important to me to find the right balance, literally and metaphorically.
So it is my intention to keep improving and to demonstrate an overall harmonious picture and above all to enjoy the horse I ride. πŸ‡β€οΈ

To achieve 66.47% with Murphy at PSG and receiving a lovely compliment from a bystander made my day and made me feel extremely happy 😊
Thanks to everyone who helps us progress. βœ¨οΈπŸ™β€οΈ

This is a hard post for me to write. Killinas Oisin (Jack) has got a special place in my heart, and his genuine desire to please clever footwork, plus his bravery, gave me much enjoyment when out Eventing.βœ¨οΈπŸ‡ At home, he was adored by us all.🐴❀️

We hadn't planned it, but it feels very right..
So today, Jack left to a wonderful, new home.
Despite a sad goodbye, I'm thrilled he found the very best home possible!
It was clear to see that Erin and Jack connected immediately, and it is fair to say that they already look like an established partnership.
I can't wait to follow their journey! πŸ‡βœ¨οΈπŸ†

On Tuesday, I enjoyed another British Dressage outing on young Darcy to gain more experience . It was a crisp , sunny day, and Billy made sure that Our Dancing Queen EVO was kept warm and relaxed.
Her first test was a bit less competitive but a good way to show her the arena and give her confidence. πŸ₯°πŸ‡
It worked well!
Darcy shone in the second test and gained nearly 71%. It was a winning test, and i was delighted with the lovely comments from the judge.πŸŽ‰πŸ‡πŸ₯°
