Absolutely Crackers

At the point my 5 year old 14.2 mare Absolutely Crackers went to Sally Barnes she had done nothing more than been broken by me and been used as a working livery in a local riding school.

With 3 correct paces she was just waiting to be brought on and show how to make the best of herself. This Sally did more successfully than I could ever had hoped. She reached the Pony Club Championships GB in the first year of being with Sally and then went on to compete in affiliated Dressage competitions reaching medium level and qualifying for the Regional Championships on several occasions, not forgetting being part of the team to win the Warwickshire Olympics.

A soft relaxed performance was always the standard, and her natural confidence and bossiness were harnessed to produce excellent work. She was in short, turned into a star by Sally. Crackers produced a wonderful colt foal who under Sally’s teaching went on to be a bit of a star himself!
