For the Love of Showing Horses and Ponies
Welcome to Showing on a Shoestring

About Showing on a Shoestring
This is a space for all things showing.
Whether you’re brand new to the world of showing horses or a seasoned ringcraft expert, you’re in the right place.
​
I grew up showing ponies and, like many riders, took a break in my early twenties. Now I’m back in the ring, juggling a full-time day job and competing on borrowed horses
​
When I returned to the ring, I realised just how little accessible, practical information was out there for something so many of us love. So I decided to do something about it.
​
Here you’ll find tips and advice on preparing for competitions, tack and turnout, ringcraft, and much more. All shared honestly, without the pressure of perfection or deep pockets.
​
My goal is to create a welcoming, supportive community for showing enthusiasts, and share my journey back into the ring.
