October Inbetweener - We're in print!

Worth its own blog post
Words fail me :D

Not only has Mr Grumpy transformed me from a 'terminally terrified' person too scared to get onto a horse into a 'mildly worried' person happy to try almost anything - he has got us into print - TWICE in one month!! Not stock photos this time either, actually about us!

The amazing Equetech photo shoot is written up in December 2017 Horse and Rider magazine, and the SEIB BRC Quadrille Finals are written up in November 2nd 2017's Horse and Hound!

Love him :)

Guest Blog - Tory Dobb at the Alison Kenward Dressage Camp July 2018

The day started with a cracking work out, must make horse clean, must make horse clean. So she had a good brush for 45 minutes resulting in me looking like I’d been dragged through a white hair hedge backwards and slapped in the face a few times. Sardra looked fab and was very happy for the love and attention. Little did she know that we were off to day camp to improve our mindset, and see if we could better our dressage scores. Hard work was coming! On arrival at Moulton College, Alison was there to great us with a goody bag full of items from Equissimo, Equilibrium, Laura Mary Art, Dressage Perspectives and Alison herself. A really nice touch that put a smile on my face before we even started. Thank you all! Needless to say I was first on, so while my camp buddies Karen and Kaz put their horses in their stables (thank you both for getting Sardra’s water ready) I tacked up and hopped on. Now the real work started. Sardra hadn’t been in full work for a couple...

February 2017 - the fun begins!

Tam and Beau's Haynet Blog February 2017 – You’ve got to have a dream… Hello Haynet community! To start, I’d like to introduce me and my little horse Beau. I am average, at everything. If you take one thing from following this blog please let it be that averageness shouldn’t stop you trying new things and giving it a go – it doesn’t stop me! Beau is not average, he is an opinionated grumpy old thing, and a total legend. I have thrown so much at him in the 18 months we’ve been a team, and he has gone along with it all In 2016 we played at dressage training, Team Quest, quadrille training and competition, sidesaddle, gymkhana games, a spot of jumping, Riding Club camps, Your Horse Live and lots of relaxed hacking. Horses are my spiritual home, and always have been even though I’ve struggled with confidence and motivation quite a lot over the last few years. Beau is my therapy There is not much to share on our activities this mo...

All About Tack

I don’t know about you but I always seem to be skint. If I ever have any spare cash I spend it immediately on a lesson or a competition, or if I am feeling very flush (or have a desperate need), new tack for my beloved horse. Tack is a tool, a fashion statement, a way to show off your horse’s best features, to show you understand the new field of equestrian science or simply to display your own good taste in saddles. It can help or hinder your horse as much as bad riding, and if chosen well it can improve your riding too. Always use a qualified saddle fitter to help you – they have been thoroughly trained by the Society for Master Saddlers – a list is available on their website here: https://www.mastersaddlers.co.uk/ £ There’s no getting away from it though – it’s an investment. Decent tack from nosebands to discipline specific saddles is expensive. Even if you trawl eBay and pick up good quality second-hand tack it’s still not cheap t...
