Family run professional showjumping yard

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.

Luigi

Winter training ❄️ 

Nemo is a great addition to OGS. Not only is he beautiful, but equally as talented! He  has a fantastic brain and is always level. We are very excited to have him as part of the team. 

Qlipper Blossom VD Bleuken 

Lulu rides the majority of horses at the yard. She has competed internationally up to 1.45m, as well as producing young young horses to a high level. Lulu is available to ride or compete your horse, as well as training and lessons.

Chris started out at Old Granary Stables with his horse at livery. His mare has now gone to stud and Chris has stayed on at the yard to help with producing the young horses.



Chris Baldwin

Luigi making his debut at Hickstead, jumping a fantastic clear in a strong 5 year old class, qualifying for the final in the main ring on Friday. 

Deltina

A very intelligent young mare. Lucky is small but mighty! She has a large stride for her size and therefore is easy to navigate through combinations. She has endless scope and really loves her work. She has an incredible brain for her age.

Lucky Choice 

Farina is an all time yard favourite! Everyone who comes onto the yard instantly falls in love with the real life unicorn. Farina had a lot of  success previously  as a top Derby horse, before Elizabeth Cohen took over the reins and competed up to 1.30m. Farina is now living and loving life as a brood mare, with an exciting foal on the way in 2021!

Farina

A lovely scopey young gent. He joined us via Roelof Bril, and has shown superb attitude with a lovely technique. Joey has an excellent temperament and is a pleasure to do in every way, making him the perfect amateurs horse.

Whisper of Joy

Team talk with Jabari and Marisa during training today 👀 Protexin Equine Premium looking after the horses...and me 😍 We’ve been busy training at the yard during lockdown, and I’ve lived in my protexin outfits! We want to know what you’ve been practising and focusing on during lockdown! Some exciting things are planned for March, keep an eye out for competitions and give aways! 👀✨👑

What’s happening at OGS

 Our favourite product this week is something we always have in our yard and lorry! 💪🏼Quick fix is a fantastic fix for horses showing signs of stress or gut discomfort🥴 I’ve always had this in the truck when travelling the horses in case of any signs of stress caused by being on the lorry for long periods of time 🚛 I’ve also used Quick Fix to help calm a stress horse before riding, and I have never been disappointed with the results! 💥😍

Month of March...Week 2 

Over the years, horse feed has improved massively. We choose to feed our whole yard on Baileys Ease & Excel because we think it’s the best! Ease & Excel is a complete feed, with out shine and Protexin probiotics included.  We’ve found this  high calorie, low heating feed is great for any horse as it’s great for keeping our sharp horses looking and feeling great.  With the probiotics included, this also makes it great for horses with gastric problems. We wouldn’t feed anything else to our horses 🥰

Why we feed Bailey’s, Ease & Excel 

This week we have Luigi here for his Hickstead debut! He’s settled in perfectly and is ready to start jumping the 5 year old class this morning 💪🏼 Fingers crossed for a good few days jumping in the sunshine ☀️ 🤞🏼 

Hickstead 

After a small holiday, we are all now back with a bang and jumping some great rounds at shows. The week started at Codham Park with Jerez jumping clear in the Newcomers and Foxhunter, Ironsville WV winning the Newcomers with Tom, and Kate and Kvint jumping 2 great rounds in preparation for Oliva Nova! Wednesday was a day out for Jabari and newbie Glenards Askalot, who jumped clear in the 1.05, a very positive start to his career at OGS. Ever consistent Jabari jumped a great clear round the 1.15m

Back at shows! 

With Christmas fast approaching, we’re able to offer a great present for your horse loving friends and family🦄 OGS are providing vouchers for lessons and training. These can be bought for single or multiple lessons to suit you and your horse or pony. If you’re looking for a few days away training, we can offer a cosy stable for your horse and have space for a lorry for the rider to stay in 🎅🏽 Vouchers will be individually personalised and either printed and posted, or emailed over 🎅🏽

🎄 Christmas training vouchers🎄

There are many exciting things we have going into 2022…one of them being the launch of the new clothing brand, KH Equestrian 😍Owned by Hannah, one of the OGS riders, this new and exciting equestrian clothing is a must have for the yard going forward. All the girls at OGS have fallen in love with the products that are super comfy and all very flattering and smart! We look forward to seeing what else KH Equestrian will be adding to their clothing line 👀

New year, new brand 😍

We have 1 week until the horses head to Sunshine Tour in sunny Spain 🇪🇸 We have had a busy January preparing the horses, clients and sorting though the mountains of paper work needed to get there, as well as having a great photo shoot with Baileys Horse Feed and welcoming a new member, Nemo, to the team 😍🐴 Lulu will be jumping the 6 year old classes on Luigi and Nemo and Kate will be competing Diamond and Vinny🥇 We are so excited to get out to Spain and will be keeping you all updated 🇬🇧 to 🇪🇸 

Sunshine tour countdown ☀️🇪🇸

We’ve had a great start with the 6 year olds in Spain with Luigi jumping 2 clear and Qlipper Blossom VD Bleuken jumping 3 clears! Very impressed with how both horses have already improved and progressed so far on this tour. 

Now Kate has arrived, she will start jumping with Diamond and Vinny on Friday and will compete over the weekend 🇪🇸 Kate and the horses have all settled in really well and we can’t wait to see them in action. 😍

A successful start! 🇪🇸

It’s been a great start to week 2 with blue skies and clear rounds 😍 Very impressed with how both 6 year olds, Luigi and Nemo, have stepped up to their first international tour. Their behaviour has been completely faultless and I couldn’t of had 2 nicer horses to get back in the ring with after a bit of a rocky end to 2021 🤕 

Day 1, week 2 🇪🇸

We had another fantastic week with the young horses. Both Luigi and Nemo jumped super clears stepping up the heights  and qualified for next weeks 6yo final 😍 They have both come on and improved so much in the short time we have been here which is why I think that Sunshine Tour is one of the best places to produce a young horses. The facilities, rings and hacking are unbeatable and the horses and riders from OGS always leave having learned so much with massive improvements. 

Week 2 complete 💪🏼

It was the 3rd week of our tour here In Spain, and the first Grand Prix for the 6 year olds. It was by far the biggest track both horses had jumped and neither of them disappointed! 

Luigi jumped a perfect clear to finish up in 13th place💪🏼 It was a great experience for both horses and were hoping to qualify them again for the next final at the end of the tour. It was also great to have some of the OGS team come out for the week and support  me and the horses and see the show. 

Grand Prix week! 

We’re out in Spain for a total of 7 weeks, which is a little too much jumping for our horses so we are having a rest week in the middle of the tour. Week 4 for our team will consist of lots of hand walking, schooling and hacking round the woods. This gives the horses time to relax, recuperate and review last weeks rounds before we start competing again. We’re so happy with how both horses are performing so far, hopefully they continue to improve through to week 5 and the rest of the tour! 🇪🇸 

Rest time 😴 ☀️ 

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 

The whole team is refreshed and ready to start jumping again after their week off showing 💪🏼This week we have Luigi and Nemo in the 6yo classes, and Kvint and Joely Van Het Asborneveld in the 1*. The aims for this week for the 6 year olds are to get a few double clears to go towards qualifying for the final again, and for Kate to continue her great form so far and pick up more placings, rosettes and plaques! 🥇 

Week 5 🇪🇸

The team had another successful week! Both of the 6 year olds jumped 2 double clears to go towards qualifying for the final. Kate carried on how she started, jumping clear rounds and bringing home the rosettes! Kate, Vinny and Diamond stepped up to the 1.20 classes with style, jumping her best rounds to date 😍 It’s so rewarding training Kate and her horses and watching them progress and place every weekend here 💜We’ve got 2 more weeks of jumping left so fingers the team can keep up the results we’ve had so far 🇪🇸

Week 5 round up 🚀

All horses have been passed through the vet check for the last time at Sunshine Tour. We’ve all had an amazing show so far, placing every single week here 😍 The young horses have come on and improved such an impressive amount, I couldn’t be happier with them. 
Kate has continued her top form, bringing home more rosettes each week, and stepping up to the 1.20 classes with Diamond 💎  🏵 
We will all keep our fingers crossed that we end week 7 on a high, and the horses, Kate and myself finish the show with more clear rounds and placings 🇪🇸

Final week 🇪🇸

Sunshine tour 2022 is complete for Luigi and Nemo, and what a show it has been for these future stars! Both horses have jumped a very impressive number of clear rounds, qualified for finals as well as mentally and physically maturing beyond their years 💙 The plan for them now is to enjoy the rest of the week hacking and relaxing in the woods, before starting their journey home on Monday 🇪🇸 🇬🇧 

For the next few days, the focus is now on Kate and her horses to finish off the show and hopefully bring home more rosettes 🏵 Good luck Kate! 🇺🇸 

✨Six year old super stars ✨ 

Unfortunately the weather took a bad turn and we had a lot of rain! Kate has had a fantastic show and together we have jumped a total of 33 clears! 😍  

We made the decision to not jump Kate’s horses the last 2 days of competition here because of the weather and the ground, and save them for the next show. 

We’re so proud of how Kate and her horses have got on here, getting placed every weekend and stepping back up to the bigger classes 💙

All 4 horses here have been amazing, I couldn’t of wished for a better group of horses or a better team. Thank you to everyone involved in getting us all out here, and the team at home that are keeping everything running! 

See you next year sunshine tour 🇪🇸

🌧 Rain stopped play🌧

All horses made it back home safely from Spain, thanks to Parker’s for transporting them all and sorting out the piles of paperwork needed to get horses in and out of the EU now (Thanks brexit 🙄). They’ve all been enjoying some field time since they’ve been home to let them all relax and rejuvenate before we all start work again and begin to prepare for the best season, the summer ☀️  

By competing at the Sunshine Tour, we’ve got a head start for the rest of the year and we can’t wait to be back at shows and doing what we love ❤️ 

Home and safe 🏡 

With summer around the corner, it’s  time to get booking the shows ☀️ All of the horses are up and running and ready for the exciting season ahead! We have local shows scheduled weekly to keep the horses and riders ticking over and to prepare everyone for the summer qualifiers and classes 😍 The next stay away show booked is the 2nd Rounds show at Wales and West. 

Planning and booking shows in advanced can be a bit daunting and sometimes you don’t know where to start! If you’re struggling to get a plan together, we can help you! We’re available to help you put together a summer schedule, including a training and show plan. This can including short or long term training at our yard (weekly/monthly), and coming to shows with us as part of the team. Or we can simply help with a training and show schedule, with a variety of exercises and goals to suit each individual rider. 

If this is something you’d be interested in, please don’t hesitate to get in touch! 

Schedules, shows and summer 🌞 

 This week has already been a very busy one, and it’s only Monday! The week is filled with lessons and other exciting things, including shows, training and 2 new lovely new faces on the yard 😍 

Both 6 year olds will compete this week at Codham park, whilst Millie and Kate continue with their training plan in preparation for Wales Second round show. 

Keep an eye on the website and our social media accounts to keep up to date with our training exercises and exciting announcements coming up this week! 👀

Exciting week ahead!

The whole team has arrived in Wales for the second round show. 😍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Jumping this week for Old Granary Stables, we have have Luigi, Nemo, Vinny, Sky, Scooby and Flynn! 
Hoping for sunshine, clear rounds and rosettes! 🏵 Fingers crossed for a great show with the team! 

Wales and West 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 

The whole OGS team had a weekend at Wales and West, with everyone coming home with multiple clears and placings! 😍
Both Luigi and Nemo jumped great rounds in the 6yo classes, with Nemo jumping 3/3 clears!

It was great to watch Hannah progress with each round with Scooby and Flynn, and finish on a high by jumping another clear for 7th place with Flynn on the final day 👌🏼 

Millie’s show was also a success, stepping back up to the 1.20 classes and finishing the show with a 2nd place! 🥈 Once exams are over for Millie, Sky has a very busy and exciting summer ahead! 

Although it was a great weekend, it was a bitter sweet show for us and Kate, as it was the last show in the UK before she heads back to America to start studying at NYU. Vinny was consistent as ever, placing every day and taking home the rosettes. 😍

The newest and youngest member of the team, Amalie, did the Old Granary team proud at Arena UK, riding some super rounds  and showing massive potential for the future. 💪🏼 Amalie is a very exciting member of the team, and one of the most naturally talented riders we have seen! There’s big things to come from this little jockey! 💙💫

A super show with a super team 💪🏼

It’s been a sad week as we waved goodbye to Kate and her horses. Kate h be as a very exciting future ahead of her, studying at NYU so made the decision to go back go America before university starts. 💫
We have loved having Kate, Eva, Brett and the horses at Old Granary Stables and will be massively missed! 😢 
It’s been amazing to be a part of Kate’s journey with the horses, bringing home lots of great results such as winning at Hickstead, placing at international shows in the UK and abroad, and having many more great shows and memories. 


Good luck Kate! Stay in touch with the team. Once a Granary Girl, always a Granary Girl! 💙💫

End of an era 🥲

With Kate back in America, (💔) we have 2 stables with a private tack room available for a potential new member of the OGS team. 

We’re able to offer full training livery that can be arranged for as long or short term packages. With some great shows planned over the next year in the UK and abroad, this would be a super chance for someone to train as part of our team and attend the shows with us. Our current clients are all jumping consistently and bringing home rosettes and placing a at each show. 
Vouchers are also available to purchase as gifts for lessons, weeks or months training! 💙

By keeping the yard small but professionally run, this enables us to work hard to ensure every horse and rider on the yard has an individual training and show plan that suits them to benefit each combination, enabling us to achieve the best results possible. 💪🏼🥇

The yard is very quiet with great training facilities including an indoor arena and beautiful countryside hacking. 

Being based near the M25, M11 and A12, this makes the yard very accessible from a variety of counties, including London. 

Please don’t hesitate to get in touch with any enquires about the yard! 💫💙

 

Join the team 💙💫

Ever wondered what it’s like to be part of Old Granary Stables? We asked a few of the girls what they thought it was like to be on the team 💙💫

-“ At first glance, Old Granary is an adorable, charming yard with a convenient indoor for the unfortunate English weather. However, the people make it a yard unlike any other. On your best day, you will have people who support you and celebrate with laughs and smiles. And on your worse days, they will lift you up and dust you off for tomorrow. Lulu’s training encourages a positive mindset and builds confidence, which is something every rider needs - no matter your skill level. Horses’ needs are met as well, with various exercises set up each week, lovely turn-outs, a walker, and big stables. This yard truly offers a special experience, filled with life-long friends and valuable lessons to carry with you. Don’t miss out” 

-“ Old Granary stables is the place you want to be for too training ! The team environment is so supportive! Each and every person wants everyone to do well, the support doesn’t just happen at home but also at day shows and stay away shows! The training for both horses and riders allows for constant improvements, no problem ever to big or small it will always be overcome!”

-“ Since being at Old Granary Stables, both my mental attitude and riding performance have improved significantly. Lulu and Zoe have helped me through the last year with my A-Levels, keeping Sky in peak fitness when I haven’t been able to ride, whilst keeping me positive and confident. This has helped me to continue competing up to my exams, and am now riding better than ever thanks to Lulu’s tuition. I am very excited for the rest of the year and Lulu’s exciting show schedule!”


Team Testimonials 💙💫

It’s been a week full of post Hickstead washing and cleaning, In preparation for the next show at Arena UK. 💫💙

All the horses and pupils have been continuing to train a progress well, hitting the targets that we have been setting. 💪🏼 

After jumping in tough classes at Hickstead, we went to our lovely local show center, Codham Park, with Luigi and Nemo got an easy trip round the Newcomers. As usual, the boys didn’t disappoint and came home with a 1st and 2nd place. 🥇🥈 

Hannah had a very good days training at OGS with Scooby and Flynn, working on rhythm and relaxation to fences. Fingers crossed for another successful show for her! 

We will now have one more training session for everyone before we head off to Arena UK with Luigi, Nemo, Jabari, Flynn and Scooby.

Keep up to date with our results through the website and social media! 💙💫


A successful summer ☀️ 

Due to the hot summer week we’ve had, we made the decision to not go to Arena UK this week for the welfare of the horses. 
As much as I love the summer sun, I don’t think the horses would of appreciated jumping in it quite as much!
 
Instead we will have the week at home having early morning training sessions with horses and clients. ☀️ 

With the weather getting hotter as the week goes on, we will continue with the early starts and lots of hacking though the cool woods to keep the horses entertained and exercised, without over heating. 🥵 

We keep the horses hydrated with sloppy Baileys feeds, along with electrolytes for the horses that have worked and sweated in the day. Each horses is also washed down daily with Well Gel cool it to soothe their 
muscles  and keep the body cool. 💙💫

The heat changed our plans! ☀️ 

We had a successful first week at Hickstead with lots of clear rounds and lots of walking. 😂
 
Luigi, Nemo, Jerez and Amos all jumped super rounds to qualify for their finals in the main ring. 💪🏼 

Hannah and Millie also produced some great clears, with Hannah jumping some of her best rounds to date and finishing with a 7th place on her final day of jumping. 🤩 

The horses now all have an easy couple of days before jumping starts again on Wednesday. Fingers crossed for a even better week. 🤞🏼 



Week 1 done! 💙✨

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. 

If you try any of our exercises, please tag us or send the videos to our social media accounts @oldgranarystables 

Pole week 🏋🏼‍♀️

We started our winter season how we hope to continue! Luigi, Jabari, Jerez and Skyline all jumped nothing but clears at Codham Park. 🥇 

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

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. 🐴
