Our little mare who was nervous about poles has gone on to her new home in Jersey. She has been ridden around the roads, around the farm and is able to walk over coloured and rustic poles in hand and under saddle. She is a really sweet mare and her stable looks horribly empty. We are used to horses coming and going but somehow this feels different. Maybe it’s because she has gone to the Channel Islands and we are unlikely to see her at Tilley Farm again. Or maybe it’s because there was something about her that made her totally different to any horse we had ever trained. Perhaps it is a combination of the two. Either way it’s a little sad on the yard tonight.

I seem to be inundated with dog clients at the moment. I am not sure what has spawned this sudden influx but it’s proving hard trying to fit everyone in around the horses and all the work I have to do without asking them to wait too long. Most have serious issues and today I saw two dogs who have fallen out and are fighting in the home. The owner was great fun and I thoroughly enjoyed working with them.
