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.

Getting into the swing of things

So this weekend we were faced with some pretty horrible weather. The high winds scuppered Lucas' first trip to the Pentlands on Saturday and the ponies enjoyed a PJ day.

I headed up to walk the XC course at Gleneagles in the hope that the wind would die down on Sunday which it did for the most part. The ground wasn't wonderful after all the rain but not too bad considering. The course looked great, lots of improvements make to the existing fences and some new ones added.

The weather was better on Sunday so Corky and I (and Tammy) headed up to Gleneagles for the HTs. We were in the 90cm class and Corky flew round. He chipped in quite a few time but I think it was just because the ground wasn't great. We ended up 8th which was supwr. He felt fresh and strong at the end too.

I'm so excited about our first BE run down at Eden Valley next Sunday. We have a few training sessions and a morning XC schooling in preparation. It'll be our first run at BE90 - our dressage is still 15-20% off what we want it to be but I think our jumping should be ok. Fingers crossed!

I have two lovely photos from Adrian Sinclair to add tomorrow.
