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.

More jumping practice

Corky and I headed off to Blueridge for their cat 1 on Saturday morning – it was a very busy show, about 40 in each class. The track was bigger than at Rockrose the week before but I looked good – more of a challenge. The warm up was very busy but we managed to warm up and pop a few practice jumps so felt good going in. I was really pleased with our round – it was 2 phase and we got through to the second phase – we only took one jump and it was rider error. It was the biggest jump in the track and I pushed too hard and through Corky out of his rhythm. I was a bit disappointed with myself but generally it was a lovely round for us. I forgot to put my number down for the British Novice so we ended up with quite a long wait. In hindsight I probably should have just called it a day but we waited and jumped again taking the first flipping fence! We took one more on the way round for good measures! Oh well – there is always another day.

On Sunday I headed back to Luffness for another schooling session with Lucas. He was a little cheekier this week – I ended up on the ground again when he got his legs in a muddle and crashed into a jump. I think it knocked his (and mine) confidence as a few refusals followed. We ended up jumping quite well but he definitely needs to keep practicing every week to build up our confidence together. Hopefully with no more falls though as I’m getting too old for it!
