- A Bit About Me and my Horse(s)
- I'm a self-employed riding instructor (BHSAI + Int.Teaching) with a lot of plans and big dreams. More about me: www.aspire-equestrian.com
and www.freelanceinstructorsdiary.blogspot.com
My personal pet hate is lousy, incorrect teaching detrimental to the horse.
I'm passionate about my work and love seeing people enjoying the sport.
My personal goal is to compete at the highest possible level and challenge my skills everyday.
*wonder if Olympic Games will still be around once I'm ready for them ;)*

Aspire Academy's Norway Adventures Part 2: The Training
28/01/2011
Once every rider had ridden on Friday we all met up in the Clubhouse to watch the videos and discuss the performances. We also got some yummy pizza delivered that was the size of tables and I haven't seen such large servings ever! It was really tasty too :)
Initially we were just going to have a quick glance at the videos and have a proper video analysis session on Saturday but everybody was so eager to learn and find out what they… Continue

Aspire Academy's first International training experience! Part 1
Part 1: Tell how to fix things or tell where are the tools to fix things?
Ok, I hope you guys have a large cup of tea or coffee handy as this is going to be a long post! Kari and I are back from the most amazing and probably most difficult training encounters we've organised to date. It was both mentally and physically very tiring but I only really experienced the true extend of my exhaustion once I arrived home. Throughout…

Update on Kingsley's Barefoot Rehab
Kingsley continues to get better and better! Pauline will visit him this weekend so there will be much more footage to come. For now, the lateral view of his limb placement.
Have a look at Nic's write up about his rehab HERE. She does say that the improvement is much clearer when evaluated on circles and front/back but what I love to see is the proper V in his walk stride where his hind hooves… Continue

There might be a mare around who dislikes your horse and you get a swift double barrel before you have the time to think "oh shit!". I've learned that 10 years ago so it wasn't me today (you simply don't make THIS mistake twice). My evening riders today went a little complacent about this rule and one ended up with a very accurate, embedded drawing of a hoof print on her thigh. We drove to the hospital just to be on the safe side but looks like there are no broken bones. Phew!Now, the exciting…See More

I take Acerola tablets as that's the only thing I managed to stay committed to - they are chewable and taste lovely of Vit C. I did try Echinacea drops but kept forgetting them. I think I should go back to them though as there are so…"

A blog post by Wiola Grabowska was featuredAn Amazing Start to The New Year
Apart from the cold that is! I was so determined not to succumb to any more colds last year and I almost succeeded! Almost. On Thursday the 30th I woke up at 4am with a raging fever and a cough from nowhere. This is why I spent the New Year's Eve watching London's fireworks on TV. Admittedly, seeing the crowds gathered by London Eye I was very glad we didn't go there. It looked impressive and jolly though: I then spent the first glorious hours of New Year's Day on watching a brainless Lara…See More

One of my favorite quotes is by Gloria Steinem, who says
Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning.
Sincere Best Wishes for Success with Your Future Plans!!
