So, my amazing team of seven riders is about to grow... I am so happy with the girls and how well they have gelled and supported one another, I am looking to add 3 more Team Wimpy Riders to the team for 2019, making a team of 10! More on that this week.... We are... Continue Reading →
With the 2019 season looming, I am reflecting on some of the things I get asked the most often. Number one has to be; How do I cope with Pat being so SPOOKY? And the answer is, I have struggled with it for many years, seven in fact! But I have learnt a few things... Continue Reading →
I was absolutely delighted to attend the 4th leg of the Ros Canter and Caroline Moore, 4 years to 4* tour at Vale View Equestrian last night. I have taken away so much from just 3 hours of learning and I hope you find it useful too. Caroline Moore, British Eventing National Coach to our GB... Continue Reading →
This is most certainly the hardest event report I’ve had to write all season. Even now, the morning after, I’m still so emotional about it.... it’s a sport, a hobby damn it!! Deep breath, Here goes.... We spent the week hacking, running through my test and the usual, nothing out of the ordinary and as... Continue Reading →
Now, I'm not a huge fan of brazen product reviews... the "I got this for free and I'm obliged to say it's amazing" kind of thing. But the reality is, I do get a lot of products to try out and when something really catches my attention, I'll share it... simple, Right?! So, yes I... Continue Reading →
So, last night I laid in bed formulating a plan with military precision. I had ridden my new/old horse Pea on a hack earlier and whilst this little horse is fun, safe and brilliant in every way, she has a seriously frustrating guilty pleasure. She LOVES to impersonate a camel in her spare time. She... Continue Reading →
Here's the deal Mr. Winter, you're either cold, dark, p*ssing with rain or blowing a bloody gale or all of those things on a really great day! But ... if there were no seasons how would you appreciate the few flakes of snow that might appear on Christmas morning? Or the first snowdrops that pop... Continue Reading →

Susan our polo queen! Pataca and I have now completed the 2018 grass polo season! A whole blooming season, DONE! We... Continue Reading →
Rugging Temperature GuideNow, this doesn’t cover everything there is to know or every different circumstance, and I sharn't make this into too much of a biology lesson either. But hopefully it helps in times of rugging confusion! What I have learnt...I have run some of the most elite yards in the country, working with both... Continue Reading →
So, here we are again... on the eve of an event and having just walked the course, I didn't feel horrendous. Certainly no where near as bad as my last event at Shelford. I put so much pressure on myself there and I didn't enjoy a single bit of that feeling. Frickley was all about... Continue Reading →
So, here it is.... my fourth event of the 2018 season, an unaffiliated event run at Epworth Equestrian. Now, for anyone wondering... yes, I have my BE90 Regional Final at Shelford in 2 weeks and yes, I know I did the 80cm class today but I want my horse’s confidence to blossom, I want him...

Now, protection is something we all have at the forefront of our minds; not only for ourselves but (often more importantly) for our horses. I'm relatively new to Eventing and I have only one, very precious horse. I want to make sure I am doing all I can for his safety and longevity as a... Continue Reading →
