Cuffstown Rumble
Aka Billy Whiz
Billy Whiz is my twenty-three-year-old 14hh traditional Gypsy cob who I competed up to Grand Prix. I have been fortunate enough to own Billy since he was a five-year-old. I produced him myself with the help of some amazing trainers, progressing from Intro through the levels, and feel extremely lucky to have my horse of a lifetime. Billy has also competed successfully in eventing, showing and Jump Cross. Billy loves sledging at the seaside and in the snow. He adores apples, cuddles and showing off. He is now retired from competition and enjoys hacking round the Cotswolds.
Bricklehampton Court Cedric
Aka Cedric
Cedric was my ten-year-old 14.3hh traditional Gypsy cob who I bought as a five year old, just sat on and ready to start his education. This little horse stole my heart — he had so much character but was a big fairy. I really focused on ground work and then experiencing life at shows and demos watching his stable mate Billy Whiz to build his confidence. He became my best demo horse! He started his competition career at British Dressage going straight in at Novice, then through to Area Festival Finals gaining a wild card to the Elementary Nationals. 2022 he won the Associated Cob Championships Medium Silver. 2023 he was flying and in the top six Medium Finals working well towards Advanced Medium. Sadly in May 2023 we lost him to a horrid autoimmune disease that still has no cure. I am beyond devastated.
Duke & Prince
Aka The Young Ones
Duke is a four-year-old cob unbacked, standing at 14hh. Prince is a three-year-old cob unbacked, standing at 12.3hh. I went to view Duke in May 2023 — the owner had bought him home in September 2022 with a questionable start in life. She also had Prince as he was bought to keep Duke company. After viewing both ponies, understanding the history and seeing them move, it seemed right to take them together. The Journey Begins…
Angus
Aka Gus
Gus is a sports horse 16.1hh now twenty-eight years young. They broke the mould with this horse — he is one in a million and has been in my care on and off for over 20 years, belonging to a dear friend. He successfully competed in many disciplines: eventing with a young lad up to advanced, dressage with his owner, and then later in life he settled into a steadier life of show jumping, beach rides and hacking. Gus has been retired now for a while and lives his well-deserved life with me in Worcester. He gets lots of fuss and is still pampered to the full.
Floranicity
Aka Filly
Filly was my 16.2hh seven-year-old Warmblood mare. I bought Filly in 2017 as a yearling to be my dream dressage horse. I took my time training her to allow her to develop. We had lots of fun In-Hand building a good solid foundation for the future. I lightly backed her in 2020 and turned away with more ground work including some horse agility. 2021 we re-started her ridden education, gaining experience hiring areas, In-Hand and ridden demos raising money for the RDA. Something wasn't right — a bone scan in May 2023 diagnosed my worst fears and took the decision out of my hands. Filly taught me so much and that I will always be grateful for. She broke my heart but gave me treasured memories.
