I’ve already tested the water and come back successful. Oscar has competed at Burrows Lane along with Jagna and we had a fantastic time. I look forward to seeing all of our liveries out and about at local events. Don’t forget Foxes Riding School, Neston Riding Club and Haddon Equestrian offer plenty of competitions and shows over the summer months so get out there and have some fun!

The nights are longer the days are drastically shorter and the clocks haven’t even gone back yet. We’ve definately been having a few frosty nights recently and just the other day i heard the sound of clippers on the go!

Despite the weather there are still plenty of competitions to be attending. I’m hoping to be going to the jumping this saturday at Foxes Riding School. So come on guys get out there and enjoy your horses/ponies.

I’m glad to say all seems to be running ok on our yard in the abscence of Sarah. We do look forward to hearing from her soon.

As Brooklet Livery’s “stand-in manager” I shall do all that i possibly can to ensure that everything runs smoothly while Sarah is away. And I’m sure I speak for everyone when i say, “Sarah, good luck with your pregnancy and we can’t wait to see the new arrival!”

Since starting work on the yard last winter, i have met some fabulous people and their horses. When you see me on the yard do tell me how you’re all getting on, especially with all the shows. I myself am taking part in an unusual show this weekend at Whittington Castle(North Wales). Some of you may know that I do medeival re-enacting and stuntwork. Well this sunday i shall be demonstrating medieval horsemanship at the castle. Do come along, i guarantee it’ll be a fun day out for everyone.

So, here I am people. I hope to see you all out and about enjoying what’s left of our summer.

Not a lot of Brooklets at Foxes last sunday (26th july) I believe the weather put a lot off and also a few of you were having a go at dressage the day before Lauren got two 5ths with Amber well done Lauren!!.  We took Del showing but it wasnt our day coming 4th always said he had peaked to early at this particualar show!! Polly is now home and enjoying a holiday its really lovely seeing her out and interating with other horses after nearly a year being stabled……!!

On a brighter note managed to get Dels entry in for flint and denbigh show on time!! so he can go see what he does against the big boys on 2oth Aug!!

Neston on sunday seemed to be made up of past and present Brooklets!! Edward simba swept the board in the pony club games, pip and gilly won young handler in a really big class!! and leid rein equitation big well done pip on a new pony aswell!! Olivia and Toby come away with a fistfull of rosettes for her first show she did fantastic!! Im presuming Lucy and sadie won equitation as spied a red rossette and as she won i presume /sadie was a good girl? so fantastic achievement for Lucy!! Del won the M and M despite his auntie Mandy saying he was to thin!! and i think that everyone accounted for??

Is anyone out this weekend ? warren farm is on v nice show if anyone is looking for somwhere to go!!

If not presume the usual faces will be at foxes on 26th??

Finally finger and toes tightly crossed for Mandys colt Remberant !pollys half brother) who is doing the trip to Royal welsh Good luck Rem !! his class is 8 am Tues morn!!

Well done Sue and Max for winning the in hand competition!! and I believe Kate did very well in chase - me - charlie so well done to Kate and Millie!!

Also well done to you all who have been off the yard and going to neston and Foxes I believe a certain Kate and Pippa did very well at foxes and Pip and Toby cleared the board at Neston You couldnt see Tobys face for red rosettes!!

My show season proving to be very successfuul this year with the lovely if not slightly loony Llanidan RoseMarie (Polly) Winning her class 3 times out of four and is off the Cheshire show and the royal welsh all being well!! A bit galling that my most successful show season ever is when someone else is producing and showing my horse instead for me!!

Also after a good few months up for sale Murphy has found a lovely new home and is off there next Saturday he is going to be broken to dribve and his new owners hope are to take him to driving shows and lots of pleasure driving Good luck Murphy in your new home im sure we will hear how he is doing!!

HOWEVER fear not as always at Brooklet Livery there is always something going on! first I have to mention our new craze of teaching our ponies to drive this has been immense fun so far for myself with my new young gypsy cob Murphy aswell as Lauren with Amber and Jazz with Pablo?? Big thanks to Sue and ofcourse crisp who both have the patience of saints to put up with us lot.  So looks like our winter will be long reining long reining and more long reining!! watch this space!!
