Tristan has been riding with us for just two and a half years
, he came to us as a complete beginner with no knowledge of horses at all, he has
during these years progressed into a very talented young rider, he started to show interest in dressage a year ago and has since then had
private lessons with Nicola and she has taken him under wing and helped him
blossom. She has taught him the subtleness and understanding of the way of the
horse, his natural talent is now showing and we have high hopes for
him.
Holly, Jessica and Fion have also been riding the same length of time, they also are progressing into good little riders and are making us quite proud.
Alexandra, Beth, Jessica, and Daisy took part in their first ever dressage competition at the weekend and did really well.
