Caution… Fake Horses For Sale!

Whilst the internet has enhanced our lives in any number of ways, it also leaves us more vulnerable than ever to scams. A fabulous resource is being exploited by unscrupulous people and no aspect of online activity is immune from fraudsters including, unfortunately, the sale of livestock.

Longton Dressage 🐴☀️

On Saturday 15th April I did the longton Dressage with Cedric. As usual we did the intro & the prelim class and he was fab! The sun was shining when I arrived to the yard which made the early start a little easier! When I began to warm Ced up he felt really flat and behind the leg so I spent a few minutes in a stretchy contact long and low just getting him really forward and swinging through, once he’d woken up I then began to pick him up...
