Looking forward to this clinic at Trout Rise Equestrian on the 2nd March. To book your slot please contact them directly :)

Another really fantastic clinic with the lovely people at ZF Equestrian, Thame. Happy people and happy horses 😄 That's my kind of day. Looking forward to returning soon.

OMG!!! It has taken 18 months of blood, a LOT of sweat and some quiet tears to get one clean flying change each way without what I can describe as an audition for the Spanish riding school all mixed into one movement!! Even better it was caught on camera!! I have at times felt like I would reach the moon we went that high!!! P.s I know that I have running reins on these were just to assist to ensure no take off that the NASA Space center would be proud of!

Another fantastic lesson with Carl. This horse is such a pleasure to train, I hope you agree but its all coming together and he most certainly has an exciting future ahead of him

We're both looking forward to our next training tour in America. Can't wait to see all the progress made, see old friends and meeting new ones. :)

Pick up a copy of today's Horse & Hound magazine to see how Rob reviewed products that were tried and tested here at the yard and what he picked at 'Best in test'

Another client, another red rosette #lovemyjob

Really pleased with Maria Dent's Nazareno Vicon at the Addington High Profile on Saturday. We decided to pop him in the PSG, only his second one and first time out since August. Although not the score we would normally want I was really pleased with his attitude to the test, the good bits scoring 7.5s & 8s. He then decided he knew the test better then me and freestyled which resulted in some 3s & 4s 😂🙈 Super positive comments from the judges though. Plan is now to give him some more runs at this level before the next Premier League show. So happy to have trained another horse to this level

Looking ahead to Summer and planning your next fly rug purchase then check out our fly rug tried and tested in conjunction with Horse & Hound

As 2018 comes to a close another chapter in the book of life closes.
2018 has been a year of big positive changes in many ways.
All the horses have been fantastic stepping up to new levels, excited that Nazareno Vicon will be stepping out into 2019 at Small Tour and Sanssouci at Advanced Medium. After a 8 month search a new girl, Florida Sun joining my string of horses. We searched high and low across Europe for her, being lucky enough to secure her at the Oldenburger Elite ...Fall Auction.
August saw a very special anniversary as I have been based at Hammer & Harp Farm for 5 years!!!! This also meant that I have very luckily been sponsored by the amazing Equine Essentials Direct for 5 years!!! 😊 I was very lucky to welcome Stübben UK & Ireland on board my amazing team of sponsors as well, I am excited to see what the future holds with them. I honestly couldn't do my job with their support.
Back in May I took the leap and took an embryo from Sanssouci by Foundation, my first foal that's due in April 2019. 🙈
Over the past 12 months the achievements of my clients have made me so proud of the job that I do and in them. We've had qualifications for Nationals, top 3 placings at Nationals, Area Festival wins, Chiltern & Thames Championship wins and International wins. The list is just incredible!!! I have been so lucky with my teaching taking me on new adventures across the pond to the States. With 3 clinics arranged over there for 2019 I am so excited!!!
A new relationship with the Oldenburger Pferdezuchtverband over the past 6 months has meant that we have made new friends and contacts not only in Germany but all over the world. After a fantastic experience with sourcing Florida Sun via the auction we are looking forward to attending their future elite auctions with clients and prospective buyers. Exciting times!!
Back here in the Uk our summer series of Unaffiliated Dressage shows had record numbers returning time and time again to try and win the sought after league, kindly sponsored by Equine Essentials Direct, Chiltern Vet Physio, Stuart Equine, Equilibrium Products, The Simple Equine and Hannah Freeland Photography ABIPP. A huge thank you to them for supporting us once more. Looking forward to welcoming everyone next year to our exciting list of planned events.
A massive thank you to my owners, sponsors and clients for an incredible 12 months. Looking forward to writing the next chapter 😊
Happy new year folks 🎉🎉

The care for the horses is 5*, clients and liveries always very friendly along with the helpful staff. Very professional yard with a lovely atmosphere and a "can do" attitude.

So excited to be sending Toti to Rob for training livery. Rob is a sympathetic and effective rider with a wonderful attitude to the horses

Rob is a fabulous rider, trainer and teacher.

Really friendly clear round show on Friday evening. They let me try jumps again if I got it wrong, unlike other places I've been to which make you get out of the ring. Even helped me when my horse wouldn't load to go home. Thank you!

Lovely friendly venue and so are the other competitors �

I took part in Rob's test riding clinic the Saturday before competing and as a dressage newbie, it was so useful to be able to ride through the test twice, the second time having worked on specific parts of the test that needed a bit of help - really useful and would definitely recommend it.

Fab venue events always well organised and Rob can't do enough to help you.

Did our first comp here today and everyone was so welcoming and kind, especially as I was riding a traditional hairy coloured cob! Will definitely be back next year!

Can thoroughly recommend this venue, having competed there yesterday for the first time with my young horse. Everyone was very friendly, encouraging and professional. The catering was fabulous too! Thank you for a lovely day.

Been having lessons with Rob for the last few months on my newly backed 4yr old! The difference in her progress from his guidance is incredible!!! I have recommended him to a couple of very fussy friends and they said they absolutely love his teaching techniques and riding ability and will now have no1 else!! Overall can't recommend him enough for teaching or riding :) xx

5*+ Livery. Good value for money. Lovely atmosphere with friendly, experienced concientious staff. Nothing is too much trouble and my precious boy Rhodesia has never been in better hands.

5* for Excellent says it all :-), thoroughly enjoy the training Rudy and I receive with Rob,

Really looking forward to some intensive training very soon. Such a lovely guy and gorgeous yard with wonderful people.
