As a lot of you already know I’ve wrapped up the transporting side of things - my back is just saying “no” to the long journeys and I’d also like to concentrate on the other exciting things going on, which require a different type of transport!
I am going to continue to stay qualified and insured for the foreseeable future, so if you are in desperate need for emergency transport to the vets etc then do not hesitate to contact me and I’ll do my best to help you out (as always!).

So with that said, my lovely little Bloomfields 3.5T is up for sale. It’s just had its first MOT and service so is good to go! Open to mechanical inspection - I’ll post some more photos as well as the advert on HorseQuest below.

Thanks to all the clients who have made this a wonderful experience ❤️

***Have you booked me for tomorrow, Saturday 6th of May? ***
I have a deposit from someone (but there isn’t a full name on the bank transfer) to move a horse tomorrow, I have details of the locations but no time of pickup! I have tried messaging and calling, please let me know if you want to still go ahead. Thanks.

“Gush” (her word not mine!) post about sponsored Rider Keeley Martin Eventing! 🐎

Due to Keeley’s phone being flooded with horse photos and videos she has ran out of storage 🫣, therefore the duty has fallen to me to inform you of her recent achievements at Norton Disney Equestrian, British Eventing Official.🇬🇧

As some may be aware the rain fall had been heavy leading up to Saturday’s BE100 event, and ultimately led to abandonment of the Sunday’s competition 🌧️ . Luckily Saturday was clear and sunny so a full days competition was completed ☀️ .

Arriving at Norton Disney in the dark was reminiscent of the weekend before at Oasby, where Keeley and Zeph (Rachan Wind Dancer) placed 5th. Walking to the dressage warm up at sunrise has become common place! 🌅

Dressage: The ground being so wet, would usually not be to Zeph’s liking, but with some large studs he coped like a pro, his dressage looked relaxed especially in the very wet corners! Scoring 29.8, the best dressage score of the day!

Showjumping: The warm up area was churned up well before the jumps, therefore Keeley did enough to warm Zeph up and jump a couple without worrying him. He went really well in the arena and was listening, just a really unfortunate 1 rail giving 4 faults leaving them on a score of 33.8, but still well in touch with the leaders.

Cross Country: Often a worry for riders in particularly wet weather, however it seemed that Zeph had gained confidence from the studs in his SJ round that it didn’t look like it phased him. The course was long and challenging for a BE100, but some really nice long galloping areas got the combination in within the time (4:48, optimum time 4:50) and clear!

🎉 Finishing the day on a score of 33.8 finishing in 7th place 🎉

***Well done Keeley, it’s so nice to see Zeph finding his form - onwards and upwards for next season… BE100, Novice… and 2* 😈 can’t wait!***

I’m sure she’ll want me to tag all her other amazing sponsors…

Today makes it all worth it!!

***SHOWJUMPING at Elms Farm Equestrian Centre***

We have done some loading training with this pony recently, and today she put it all into practice and came away with the top rosette that you can get 😍 🏵 🐎

To see the pony at the first session I wondered if we would ever get her off the yard. Today she loaded and travelled like a pro, then when at the venue she stood calmly at the box eating her hay whilst her owner walked the course. This was beyond my expectations, but for the owner to come away with a first place I couldn’t be happier for her!! 😊

I’d like thank everyone who shared, commented and looked for my van yesterday. There has been overwhelming support so I can’t thank everyone individually. It has been found, but it will not be driven again by the looks of it as too much damage has been done.

If anyone has any information, Cctv, video evidence or names linked to this I’d be so greatful. There has been a few car thefts here recently and it needs to stop. Someone also needs to pay for my write off van and damaged equipment.

Thank you all again so much, photo for attention!

Does anyone recognise this horse? And a girl called Natasha? I was inadvertently sent some items for her from a print company. They will be contacting her to state their error and should be compensating her too.
They have asked me to destroy the products which I will do if I can’t find her. But she might as well have them if I can find her!
