Lynn Morrison haha love it, I find just exposing them to stuff on a very regular basis helps them, no quick fix for spooks just that reassurance they are not going to die and your the constant in that equation, one of my girls still cat leaps in the air when a pheasant flies up when out hacking, but she doesn’t bolt now, always makes for an entertaining ride!

Richard Boatwright don’t worry by the end of my trip next month I’ll have you and Lilly talking rite proper northern English like! 

Brilliant news, well done you!

I’m looking forward to seeing  Ike again in April, last time I saw him was 6 months ago and he was full of himself and a wee lad, reckon he will be a big boy now 

Sounds like a great idea 

8th August just to be English in my format 🤣

Richard Boatwright Much appreciated, 70c and sunny would be nice 🤣

Gorgeous spring morning here with the sun shining and the horses out on the grass for a few hours while we muck them out and bed them up, think I’ve worked out who got the better deal!

Hope you’re having fun!  

I think having a watch of the Nachees colt starting and Stardust softening the older horse, some great info on what to look for in the early episodes and different requirements for the type of horse to get the fresh off and switch them on to learning mode by obeying the code and what it means to a youngster and an older horse

Absolute belter this week Richard Boatwright I sat reading with my obligatory cup of tea, nodding away and thinking so true, the emails never fail to get me thinking and fired up 

It certainly has picked up, daffodils and snow drops out here, grass starting to grow and the mares moody and coming into season again, happy days!!

Really looking forward to coming over next month and hopefully some nice weather and a bit of sun!
