Guest Blog: From Boxrest back to Badass

Well, 2017, what can I say?

It started off a year of massive lows with the boy still on box rest due to injury. We spent most of the winter having supervised grazing for an hour a day (regardless of the weather!) in a 12x12 field. Throughout those dark months, Sian was always there. She was either giving me advice, lending me her horse to ride, coaching me on friends horses, and even being my shoulder to moan and cry on when things got too much- which was quite a lot!

When we were finally given the OK to start slowly bringing Jazz back into work, she was there every step of the way, giving us lessons in walk (which I think we all found slightly tedious lol!), going hacking with us and motivating me to stick with it.

Over the past few months we've managed to do 2 Dressage Tests- coming 2nd and 3rd! And finally, last weekend we managed to have a sneaky jump lesson!

All in all, SPCOACHING has got me through the last 12 months in one piece, I honestly don't know what we would have done without her! She always goes above and beyond in whatever she is doing, whether it be giving a motivational talk, coaching a lesson, or schooling your horse. She get's a massive 5* from us xx
