All back home and un-packed after 4 days away at the National Championships!! What a few days they were, Rhodesia scored a very credible 66% & 68% in the Novice & Elementary. They weren’t good enough for a top ten placing but I couldn’t have asked for more from him on his Championship debut!
Wow!!! What a weekend!!! Rhodesia and I have been crowned Novice & Elementary Central Regional Champions!!!! Over the moon with the special guy…Off to the Nationals we all go!
The big day is here!! Moving in day at Hammer & Harp Farm. Its going to be a very busy day with 12 horses moving in!!
Fantastic pre regional warmup show at Addington Manor on Thursday. Rhodesia smashed the Novice with 77% and then gained 73.10% in the Elementary!! Full steam ahead to the regionals now, only two weeks to go!
Another great day competing, Rhodesia finished with 73.10% in E43 taking 2nd place. He decided he would produce collected canter down the centre line rather then trot! Bless him!! In E53 we scored a massive 74.11% and took 1st place!! That’s him all qualified at Novice and Elementary for the Summer Regionals.
Another write up and picture for Rhodesia in todays Horse & Hound.
As of the 1st August, Rob Waine Dressage will have a new permanent base! We will be offering livery and training from the fantastic facilities at Hammer & Harp Farm, Beaconsfield.
Interesting morning judging OBH South Pony Club members in preparation for their area qualifiers. We had runaway sheep, a giant pink pig and of course a defiant car horn!! Keep checking out my blog page for the full update….Good luck to all the girls at the qualifiers.
Great clinic with the guys at Mudchute Equestrian Centre today. All making lots of progress hope to see everyone again soon.
Rhodesia smashed his first go at elementary today. Scoring 70% & 71.76% he took both classes at Widmer Equestrian, Lacey Green. He just keeps going from strength to strength. Thanks again to Lynne Bennett for allowing me to ride her superstar horse!
What a weekend for my clients who competed!! All bringing home the rosettes and qualifications! Makes my job all worthwhile when they do so well..
The sun shone all day at the Charlton Village stables clinic this afternoon. Great to see the improvement they are all making. Another date has been added for June. Check out the clinics page for more info.
Another great day teaching the lovely people at Charlton Village Stables. This was their first clinic after the Winter and they have all improved so much. They were all so happy they have booked me to go back on the 26th May
Lovely write up about Rhodesia’s win at Windmill Farm in today’s Horse and Hound
What an amazing few days, Rhodesia and I finished fourth in the Novice Freestyle to music at the NAF Winter Dressage Championships held at Hartpury College. So pleased with the little guy, it was his first time in that environment and after a little tension in the beginning settled down and danced away…
Pleased to announce that as of today myself and my competition horses will be sponsored by the fantastic company Protexin Equine Premium. Please click on the link to check out their website and amazing products
The first Rob Waine Test training day was a real success today. Everyone rode really well and commented on the tips that help pull in those extra marks. Hope to run another later in the year.
We have hit the 80% mark!!! Rhodesia danced his socks off at Windmill Farm today. It was our pre winters warm up and it couldn’t have gone any better. Full steam ahead now to next week!
Just had some fantastic news from client Anna Slosmanis, she’s been given a wild card for the Elementary Restricted Championships at the Winters!!!! So well deserved
So we popped over to Snowball Farm today to complete our Summer regional qualification and came away with two 1sts in the Novice classes. The judge awarded us with 76% & 74%!!! There doesn’t seem to be any stopping that boy!!!
