Whether you’re going out to your local venue to do an unaffiliated hunter trial or dressage competition, to a British Eventing one-day event; I will be sharing some of my tips on preparing for a competition and how to cope when it comes down to competition day. Here are some of my top-tips when preparing for a competition:

In this blog I'm discussing how I use other training techniques such as Intelligent Horsemanship. IH was created by Monty Roberts after he studied horses natural herd behaviours in the wild. I used intelligent horsemanship to train Jet in tackless riding and teach her to respond to voice commands, it worked so well and our bond has grown stronger and stronger.

The second month of 2017 is nearly through. Wow! Very soon I will be getting my two horses, Jet and Dude back from their time away in the field. This means bringing them back into work! It is going to be a huge challenge, but challenge accepted! I will be taking them back to a yard in Cookham where I was before. I love it here and it’s the best yard we’ve ever been at! They have all the facilities including a horse walker!

Hi everyone, my name is Maddie Stout, I’m a 17 year old Eventer! I compete in British Eventing at BE100 level, hoping to move up to Novice this season. My riding career started when I was around 3 years old. I lived in Australia for two years and learnt to ride at a centre called Darkes Forest! I rode a pony called chicken nugget and went on trail rides! When my family and I moved back from Australia, I rode at riding schools and had lessons on my friend’s ponies. I got my first pony when I was 10, his name was Breeze!
