My Horses
Bluewood Golden Girl

When I got Ella, she had been a broodmare and I had to reback her from scratch. Despite losing one of her eyes to uveitis, she has gone from being just backed to qualifying for the Winter Championships at Medium in 2021 within 3 years. We were selected for the 2020/21 British Dressage Foundation Academy and commitment and development saw us selected for the prestigious Sport England funded National Academy on 2021 and 2024!
Last year we had so much fun representing England and the North & East Region at the Youth Home Internationals and at the Sheepgate Under 25 Championships where Ella put me on the podium both times! I'm so happy and hope to continue developing with Ella as she's so talented. Watch this space!
Bluewood Donaustern
Bay Trakehner gelding 8yo by Titelheld out of Donaukaiserin
I bought Star as a 2yo colt and had to patiently wait for him to mature. He needed an extra year physically before starting and I'm glad I waited. Star was backed as a 4yo in 2021 then turned away until spring and restarted in 2022. He made his BD debut in September, and in just 2 outings qualified for the Winter Regionals gaining scores of up to 76%. I'm so proud of how well he has developed and really excited for his future. This year Star visited Sheepgate U25 Championships and put me at the top of the podium several times. He has competed in his first Medium class and will be at regionals at Novice and Petplans at Elementary this winter.
Bluewood Donaukrieger
Black Trakehner gelding, 6yo by Elfenstein out of Donaukaiserin
Then there's Dave, aka Bluewood Donaukrieger. Dave is an exciting 5-year-old Trakehner gelding, and Star's younger brother. I lightly backed Dave last summer and he spent the winter and spring growing and maturing. Whilst he appeared to be mentally ready to go, physically he was very immature so he didn't get to his first competition until this year but has qualified for the Pet Plans in 2 outings.
Jensen is a 15yo 16hh grey gelding by Jaguar Mail out of a Belgian Warmblood mare. He is my mum's horse but she enjoys sharing him with me. The idea is that she hacks and does low level dressage while I take him on faster fun days out and jumping to give him variety
