As I write this, I still can’t believe it’s 2010 – where does the time go?!
My last post included news of my new training base in Farnham.. the past 6 months have been very good in all manner of ways.. I have attended fantastic training clinics with my fab trainer Ulla Salzgeber and feel for the first time in my career so far that I’m starting to be the sort of rider I always wanted to be. Lots and lots of work to do yet of course but I now feel like I have the absolute right situation for my future development.
The situation at the yard I had rented for 6 months however has proven not to be suited to my ambitions as the facility, and may I say with regret the people are not the setting for the professional course I need to follow. However it was an excellent stop gap in as far as giving myself the opportunity to develop an extensive network of clients and i’m delighted to say have met some very good friends. It also meant of course I was able to keep my beautiful stallion entire. Many yards are not willing!
I would particularly like to thank Rachael Welch for all her hard work in my promotion and her continuing help and support… Thanks Rach, i’m really looking forward to working with you and Freddie in 2010, and I look forward to more clinics and new ventures in the coming months! Also thanks to Lisa for her part in organising clinics, keep them coming please! x
This now brings me to talk about the new start.. I’m really pleased to say that I have been invited back to Highbrook Stables in Liss Hampshire. Those of you who know me well will know that it was a place that I didn’t want to leave originally, but i’m very pleased to say that circumstances have changed there and now makes it possible for me to return. So thanks to Helen and Hans for accommodating myself, Rocho and Siro again. I so look forward to returning and bringing my horses on in such a great environment. We will be returning with just two of my current liveries on the 1st Feb.
Going back to Highbrook means that I can now concentrate fully on my top horse Rocho and the early training of stallion Siro. I will therefore only be working as a trainer from now on and not doing training liveries at all. This is better all round as I will have alot more time to dedicate to my own personal training, and also the training of my clients. I will also be able to do more clinics at various sites in the U.K. I am so pleased to be in position to operate like this again as the training is what I love and do the best.
To conclude I wish all clients and friends a very happy and successful 2010. I will be updating the website with information, pictures, videos and blogs very soon , so keep checking for updates!
Kindest Regards
