Hi everyone, my name is Kate Sanderson and I\u2019m extremely excited and grateful to now be working alongside Forelock and Load where I will introduce you to myself and my horses where you can hopefully join me on this journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m an amateur dressage\/event rider based in Northumberland where I keep my horses at my small family run farm. I got my first loan pony when I was around two years old and over the years I progressed through Pony Club to where I am today with affiliated British Dressage and British Eventing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Growing up I was never in the financial position to buy a \u2018ready made\u2019 horse, so always had to purchase, produce and learn together on a journey which is still what I love to do today. From buying Cruise, a spooky 5yo Welsh Cob, that I was told I was mad for buying, persistent training and time qualified us for Badminton Grassroots and that\u2019s where my journey really began with my love for Natives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve since been very fortunate to have competed at Badminton Grassroots for a second time, British Dressage Nationals and PetPlan Championships (Summer and Winter) up to BD Medium level all on self produced ponies, . Although most my friends and contacts moved onto thoroughbreds or warmbloods, I decided to stick with the Welshies and Connemaras and continue to promote them for the sport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I currently have 8 horses at home ranging from 2 years to 29 years! Next year is due to be exciting as we will have a new four legged arrival due to be born in August (keep your eyes peeled!) and my two four year olds will really explore the world in their fifth year, I will have a 4yo to take out for the first time, a 3yo back who I think will be very exciting, alongside hopefully getting my best boy Hillgarth Golden Opportunity out competing after a few months off, where hopefully we can aim towards PSG again. I don\u2019t want to say too much as I\u2019ll save some details for future blogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My other little team mate, come yard sidekick, is Gunner my rising 8 month old Sprocker Spaniel, where away from the horses we enjoy going out exploring the world and beating with our local shooting syndicate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s it for now, and I hope you enjoy this journey alongside me and my horses. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
