Tunley Brook Stables

Willow’s anxiety is definitely improving. Tonight we were able to long rein her and then our friend Scarlet rode her really well. Scarlet rode her 3 months ago and she was amazed how calm she was today ❤️

Steff had been teaching us and for our homework, Cora must use her seat more to halt and be more upright in trot. Elsie must be more upright and on the balls of her feet. Tonight we long reined Willow and it was difficult, but we are making progress!! Dougal was very hot so he…

Today I hacked with my friend Isabelle who rode on Flick. Paris has little legs and always trails behind 😃

Willow has been less anxious today. We’re riding her with a ‘bitless bridle’ which means we doesn’t have a piece of metal in his mouth, he’s much more calm

Today daddy bought us each a poo picker to stop us arguing! Keeping ponies can be a mucky job 🙄

Today our friends Sophie and Emily came over to ride Flick. She’s 16 hands so Emily was high up!!

Today I thought I’d try a pink bonnet on Willow to match her pink saddle pad. She didn’t look happy 🤔

Apache is still young and needs training, but today we put a saddle on him for the first time ever!!

Today was our first ever show at Longton, the boys were very naughty and we came last in everything apart from ‘best mane and tail’ where Apache got 5th!! We went to the pub with gran and grandad to celebrate ❤️

We had a visit from Rob the farrier today! The 4 ponies don’t have shoes on, but Flick has shoes on her front hooves only. Rob trims their hooves and fits the shoes!
