Bianca Jones, Swaziland.<\/h5>\n

Bianca aka B has been riding since she was 4. She has competed in dressage, showing, equitation cowboy dressage, and cross country and is also graded for 1m30 showjumping. She is a qualified natural horsemanship trainer and instructor.<\/p>\n

Although competing in the higher grades Bianca often was faced with frustration and the feeling of not being good enough. If she couldn\u2019t understand or fix something she would simply shut down. She also got stuck at the same level for years on a horse that won but bucked her off almost every day.<\/p>\n

She always loved rescues and when faced with a rescue she could ride but couldn’t catch. She realized she had more to learn. She started her natural horsemanship journey only being prepared to take on the groundwork thinking she was competent in her riding ability. She watched how the entire process from the ground into riding produced a safe calm and happy horses that excelled in performance. She was sold and since gaining her qualifications and she is retraining her horses and riders through natural horsemanship practices.<\/p>\n

Lucy, Basotho Pony, Rescue.\u00a0<\/span><\/h5>\n

She arrived as a 3-year-old, unbacked and terrified of humans, as B\u2019s own personal project. She couldn’t be caught, bucked, and reared from her past.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

She is now a 6-year-old and is a highly intelligent, loving affectionate sensitive pony used for beginners right through to advanced riders. She is now a school pony available for lease.<\/span><\/p>\n

She has competed in 60 and 70-cm showjumping with great potential for dressage and Western performance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sambuca, Warmblood<\/h5>\n

B backed and trained Sambuca traditionally for showjumping. He competed at 60 cm nervously and then had a saddle issue that caused him to be fearful of the saddle and buck. He since then has been retrained through natural horsemanship. He is now calm, safe, and confident with anything he faces and is our most advanced school and competition horse.<\/p>\n

He is mostly B’s personal competition horse competing at 1m with goals to progress higher. He has an incredibly soft, laid-back, pleasing nature that gives any rider the utmost confidence.<\/p>\n

Numbug, Boerpred X Warmblood<\/h5>\n

Numbug has just turned three and has started to be introduced under saddle. She has spent the last year working on groundwork and this will be the focus of her work until she is older and is ready for more.<\/p>\n

She is a spunky little horse with a big personality. She is very playful and loves a good challenge. She was brought in for her jumping bloodlines to B’s second competition horse in the future.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Bolt and Lolli, Miniatures.<\/h5>\n

Our trouble two aren’t the typical problematic small ponies often seen in the industry. These two are talented little jumpers who have been trained to be ridden on their off-lead allowing a safe comfortable ride for younger children. They also do a great job at teaching more nervous people all about the basics and groundwork.<\/p>\n

Lolli is the more confident and cheeky personality while Bolt is just happy to plod along. Both adore attention<\/p>\n
