Elite Auction

This week has been lots of fun. I went to the presentations of the horses for the auction earlier this week. I saw 45 horses go. One nice one after another, and everyone very different from the next.  Each horse brought something different

‘The Move’ is on!

It’s absolutely frantic here right now.  I am only riding one horse a day with all of our babies and our own horses out of work.  Colombo is also enjoying being a pig pen in the mud.  So why “frantic” I hear you ask&#

Home Sweet Home

It has been a whirl wind trip with Sara. Three weeks went by so fast and she’s had a wonderful time with her horse who is just gorgeous. We also got to see lots of other young horses at IPS horse group. The inspector for KWPN came out
