Welcome to Amateur Equestrian Antics

I set up this blog up back in 2014 to share stories of my equestrian trials and tribulations. I had just started to event for the first time ever after a 10 year break from horses and wanted to document my journey for friends and family. 

​In that time I have achieved so much but still have so much further to go. 

I have been supported and sponsored by some fantastic friends, trainers and businesses in this time and I have a new dedicated section of the site to tell you more about them all.

After concentrating on Lucas for the last few weekends, super pony Corky was back out in action this week and he really was super!

We had a real breakthrough in our flatwork lesson last week so have been feeling good about our schooling. We headed to SNEC to ride two prelim tests on Saturday - P14 and P17. We had a set plan for our warm up which seemed to go well and so did P14, probably the same standard as RockRose the other week but not as consistent a contact as we have at home. Tammy who had come along to help suggested really working on our transitions to make him really listen to me in the warm up before P17, we did lots of walk to canter and serpentines. They made a massive difference and the test went amazingly! Our scores were 63.13% for 7th in P14 and a fantastic 66.74% in P17 for 3rd!!

Feel like we are really making progress and know we still have a little bit more to give which is exciting.

Tomorrow both boys are off to jumps a round each at Howe - bit of fun for Corky after working so hard today.
