Okay let’s start as we mean to go on. ‘The Stable Box’ is fab! It’s like receiving a birthday present every month. But there’s an exception! You are never going to be disappointed. The list of lotions, potions, brushes and general stuff you require for a horse is endless. The Stable Box will  introduce you…… Continue reading The Stable Box 

My last show completed as Miss Powell and the final event of the Summer. Ending on a high with a Win in my Novice Class at Hickstead. I couldn’t have needed it more this week. I had a week of feeling that I couldn’t ride and that I wasn’t good enough for my horse. Then…… Continue reading Warm Up Wigs to Warmblood Wigs

I carb loaded in the morning with six slices of toast before I attempted to muck…… Continue reading Ponies and Far too much Prosecco!

So today we had the area riding club dressage competition. I underestimated the difference of riding a test on grass. I have not ridden a test in a grass arena since July last year at this same competition. Wigs thought it was very fun indeed. Normally when we are on grass it’s to go for…… Continue reading Being a fast arse on the grass!
