Here are some pictures of Florian just before she went home. You can follow their journey on our facebook page (www.facebook.com/firtreestud)

FTS New Years Resolutions!
Happy New Year to all our clients and friends!
Sorry for the delay in writing, the first two weeks of January so far have been none stop for all at FTS.
Over the Christmas period we teamed up with our clients to ponder our new years resolutions, and we have decided to run monthly competition outings. This allows our clients to start their 2013 off with a bang with our first dressage outing the 6th January.
On these outings the whole FTS team accompanies our clients to an event to offer support and training, with the aim of developing the horse and rider combinations we are already working with.
On the 6th Jan we all went to Port Royal EEC for Dressage classes of all levels. This competiton allowed some of our clients to kick start their new year. All combinations were urged to try something new, ranging from the first competition in 10 years to trying a novice test for the first time.
Through the day, 14 tests for FTS clients were ridden!!
Everyone had a fabulous day, with all horse and rider combinations performing beautifully. Results varied with rosettes right through the scale from 1st to 6th place. Sam & Summer even traveled all the way from Whitby for their fabulous score of 72% and 1st place.
This will be a monthly event run for our clients and we will keep you posted with their progresses! Well done every one!!
