Diamond is a careful and bright mare who never returns from a show without a rosette! Kate and Diamond have already had successful international results, with many more to come in the future! Diamond is an asset to anyone’s string of horses with one of the most consistent records of any horse we’ve seen. 

Kate flys the flag for America and is based at Old Granary Stables with her two lovely horses, Vinny and Diamond. We love having Kate on the team and can’t wait to watch her compete and progress!

We’re luck to have amazing hacking through the Forrest at the show ground at Sunshine Tour. Hacking here is a great way for the horses and riders to unwind, as well as getting a great workout in 🏋🏼‍♀️ There are various different terrains and gradients for the horses to walk on, which I think really benefits each individual horse. Hacking also gets the horses doing something different to flat work and jumping, so it keeps the horses interested and happy in day to day life here 🌴

Happy Hacking 

Earlier in the year we had a new member join the team for our youngest rider, Amalie Bearman. 

Amalie now has a very exciting new mare called Coshla Philippa (Misty) to run alongside her other 148 Kriso.  We’ve spend the last few weeks training at home and at school hires to give the new combination time to get to know one another. 

We spend a couple of weeks focusing on flat and pole work, which helped Amalie understand the importance of ride ability in the ponies, and the ground work that has to go into them to enable the ponies and rider to perform to best of their abilities. 
Amalie’s hard work over half term paid off as ventured out on Sunday to a show with both ponies, to come home with multiple placings and clear rounds!

Amalie and Misty jumped 2 perfect clears in the British Novice and Discovery, a very promising start for these two. Amalie stuck to plan we had made during our course walk to produce textbook rounds with both ponies, also jumping clear with Kriso. 

Amalie showed knowledge and talent beyond her years the last few weeks by learning every  day and putting everything she had learnt into practise at the show. It’s very impressive to walk the course with an 11 year old and have her understand and take on board each instruction, distance and which lines to ride to each fence to then see her riding exactly how we had planned to in the ring. 

It was a great start to the outdoor season for our pony team, with a very exciting summer ahead! Top job Amalie. 👏🏼





Amalie is this weeks star ⭐️ 

We are lucky to have show centres such as Addington holding training shows for us to attend through the winter. These training days enable the horses and riders to warm up in a show environment, but train in the ring without the pressure of a show, allowing combinations to train and improve. 

The whole team had a very successful day on Sunday, with all horses jumping clear! 
Hannah took her two horses, Scooby and Flynn, both jumping great rounds. 
Lulu took 4 from the yard, each of them feeling great and jumping clear. 💙💫

Thank you to the team at Addington for running these training days, and keeping everything going so smoothly and efficiently! We can’t wait to go back! 

Amalie Bearman was also out representing the Old Granary team with her ponies, Kriso and new pocket rocket Misty. 🚀 Amalie produced some great rounds, riding with maturity far beyond her years. The year is going to be very exciting for Amalie and her ponies, with big things planned! We will continue training this week before heading out to another show at the weekend for this great little team. 👌🏼



 

Luigi one of the easiest horses we have ever had in. He is another real gentleman to have on the yard. He has an incredible amount of scope and is a pleasure to do in all ways. He will certainly excel in any sphere, and be a real asset to any rider.

Winter training ❄️ 

Our first show of the year was a successful one, with all horses jumping some super rounds! 🚀 

It was great to be back in the ring with the horses and back at shows with the team. 

Hannah rode some impressive rounds, picking up multiple clears with her two horses and riding more consistently and effectively than ever! Showing all the hard work that she has been putting into our training over the last few months. 💪🏼 

It was great to see Chris and Celisi back in the ring and getting back into the swing of things, jumping clear after a few years out while Celisi had some lovely foals. 🐴 

New team member Ellie made her show debut with us, with some impressive results, including jumping clear in her first ever 1.15! 👌🏼

Luigi, Qlipper Blossom VD Bleuken and Jabari all jumped lovely clear rounds, making the first show of the year a very enjoyable one, also giving us a very positive and exciting start to the year.

The star of the show was Jabari, jumping nothing but clears all weekend. Very excited for his future! 💙💫

Massive thanks to the team for all the help and support over the weekend, making these shows possible. 

Thank you to Lois for being a fantastic show groom, we couldn’t have done it without you! 
Also thanks to Kasey for keeping the yard at home running. Always appreciate your grooms, the people who get things sorted and organised behind the scenes and take care of our horses. 💙💫




A successful start 🚀💙💫

It was a long and cold day at Addington! 
The team worked hard last night to get the stables set up and get the horses settled in with big beds, ready for 3 days jumping.  

We had a successful first day, jumping some great clears. 💪🏼

Hannah set the standard with the clear this morning on Scooby, followed by by more clears and great rounds throughout the day. 👌🏼

Fingers crossed for another good day tomorrow with a few more clear rounds 🚀

First day done! 

We’ve started the year with a yard full of lovely horses and clients! Seeing in the new year with our great existing customers and welcoming some new faces to the team! 🚀 

Chris was the first member of the team to get to a show this year, producing 2 perfect clears with his mare, Celisi. 👏🏼 

We’ve been training hard at home and have an exciting show schedule planned for the rest of the year, starting with 3 days at the recently reopened Addington equestrian. 💪🏼

The team will continue to work and train for the show, keeping you all updated with our progress throughout the week! Keep following for more updates and fingers crossed for a successful start to 2023!🥇

Jabari picked up a 4th, 
Skyline 2nd,
Luigi 2nd in the 1.20, 
And Jerez 1st in the 1.20 and 1.30! 

We’ve got a great winter plan to work towards and look forward to continue working with the horses and clients home with different plans and exercises to benefit everyone in the ring. 



Winter season has started 🍂 

This week we have been focusing on pole work, using a variety of exercises to aid and develop different areas of the horses working routine. 

Attached below is a short video of 3 of the workouts we’ve been working on! 
The aim of these videos is to help and inspire riders to try different things with the horses to improve rhythm, softness and ride ability.

🚨 New Products🚨

We were ready for another full on week’s jumping at Hickstead for their final show of the year, however the weather had other ideas! 🌧 

The team at Hickstead made a great effort to keep the show on the road, fighting incredibly heavy rain and flooding, and maintaining the rings to keep the ground rideable, however we couldn’t keep the stables and beds dry enough for the horses to be comfortable, so we made the decision to finish the show early. We always try and keep the horses as healthy, relaxed and comfortable as possible in the stable, but this is difficult when torrential rain comes through the stable doors! The welfare of the horse must always come first. 💙 

As frustrating as it was to leave early, all of the Granary horses were on top form, jumping some impressive rounds, with Luigi, Nemo and Jerez all finishing with clears. 🤩

It’s always a privilege to be able to jump i the main ring at Hickstead, and each horse has qualified for their finals in there over the last 2 weeks so we definitely can’t be disappointed with our results! 

With the summer season now coming to an end, we look forward to continue to work with the horses and clients going into winter, preparing for more shows and continuing the good results. 🥇 

Until next year Hickstead! 👋🏼 




Week 2, we’re ready for you 💪🏼
