Here's only photos, no text, so you can easily scroll through the stables tour <3 Still in need of a stables name, but it will come soon!

Horse Spotlight:

EYEC Robin Hood "Robin” 16.2 hh 10 y.o. grey OTTB Gelding

Y’know those tiktoks about people who got green horses and trained it themselves as teenagers and now they have really weird buttons? That’s Robin.

Mark got Robin free fresh off the track when he was 16 as his first official horse. Awful choice for his first horse but somehow it worked out and Robin became a functioning member of horse society.

Robin is a… sporadic character. He is an athletic boy who loves zooming over jumps and going cross country schooling and is all around happy-go-lucky as long as its Mark and only Mark. No one is quite sure what happened to Rob, but he has intense trust issues with people, and doesn’t quite know how to interact with other horses but tries his best.

Robin is a special boy, but no doubt he is Mark's heart horse!

Horse Spotlight:

REPH Grand Munia ”Dandy” 17 hh 3 y.o. Black British WB Mare REPH The Governor x ΣE Fayette (made by Moose Rehmham on Equiality Sims)

When talking about his two horses Mark refers to Dandy as “the one with braincells”

Mark purchased Dandy as a two year old as a personal jumping prospect. He loved her easy-going personality and flashy markings, and most importantly her size. He didn’t expect her to shoot up to be 17 hh at the age of three but you won’t see him complaining.

Dandy was only very recently started under saddle and has been a very quick learner. She’s shown she has plenty of go but is calm and uber intelligent. You could probably put beginners on her and she’d do just fine (besides some fine tuning on her buttons) Mark is extremely excited to get the gorgeous girl in the jumper ring in a few years!

She is baby, but she is smart baby

Moving In! + Barn tour || Kiwi's Vlogs - 21/1/2024

🔴 📹 …. Recording …

Hey guys! Welcome to today's vlog, I'm Marquis, better known as Ki or Kiwi and this ones an exciting one. I mentioned there was some big changes coming this year and I've been keeping *hush hush* about it but I can finally reveal the big news: I've bought my own stables! and I'm moving the horses in today!

For the longest time I've kept my horses and English Yew and for the last couple of years have been renting out a little three-stall stable block and field to keep my two and whatever project I had on hand at the time, and I had been intentionally holding off on getting another project horse *because* of this behind-this-scenes project. Now this move doesn't mean I'm abandoning English Yew, I still work there and will be continuing business as usual, the new place is like ten minutes from there so don't worry- that's not changing. But, I've been wanting somewhere a bit quieter as English Yew continues to grow and get busier, and I've managed to get my hands on just that.

Wait till the end to see the tour, mind you it's not anything super fancy, it's rather quaint- but I want to let the ponies settle in and squared away before I show you around. Alright, enough chit chat lets get on with it!

Felix was very generous to come out today and help me move the two goobers. They loaded up fine and like I mentioned earlier- it was like a ten minute drive so it wasn't a huge trip at all, just loaded them up, drove down the street, fenagled my truck and trailer into the very tiny drive way, and got thing one and thing two off.

Rob was first off because he can get a little *explosive* if left standing in the trailer for too long and he was VERY looky, as expected. But overall, for Robin standards, he did a great job. He just had quite the speedwalk going for him, but I expect nothing less from him.

Dandy was next and I could tell she was a little on-edge, but she unloaded like the unbothered queen she is and Felix and her followed Robin and I straight into the field without any complaints.

We decided it would be easiest to let the two run loose in the biggest of the three fields so they can stretch their legs out and get all the excitement out with plenty of room before showing them around the rest of the property. Yes I turned them out in their halters, but it was in case the excitement was a little too much and they didn't want to be caught and they were only going to be in there for a bit before I moved them to their actual field. That and I can pretty much see them from anywhere on the property which is a huge plus.

Once they were out in the paddock and we were out of their way, Dandy went right to trotting around and exploring the new scenery and Robin… uh Robin didn't really know how to handle himself. He kinda just froze for a little and stopped functioning.

Felix: "Robin.exe has stopped responding…"

Ki: "That's for sure."

"Eventually the gears started turning in his head again and he exploded back into consciousness and immediately went to galloping around the field to express his strong emotions on the situation. Naturally Dandy joined in and they had lots of zoomies to get out.

Fast forward to the next morning: I decided to leave Rob and Dandy out last night, I'm a strong advocate for the longer turnout time the merrier so they were given lots of time to explore their new surroundings. So they're out and I'm about to head down to give them their breakfast and looking out my bedroom windows - ugh I'm so excited about that - they're both in one piece and look pretty relaxed out there! I'm gonna put the camera down and take care of the ponies, so you guys are gonna right to the tour!

QUE THE MONTAGE

Overview

Okay! Here it is, the new home. Right now you're looking at some drone shots of the entire property, like I mentioned- it's not huge, but it is plenty of space for me and my horses. The property has two fully fenced paddocks that I've separated into three with some line and conveniently has three run in sheds so no matter where the horses are turned out they've got shelter. You can see the nice big arena that’ll you see closer up soon, the very tiny driveway I mentioned earlier, and if you’re curious the house is three-bedroom, three-bath, but I won’t be doing a house tour just yet. But overall, beautiful little farm property, super excited to call it mine.

Moving on to the stables!

Stables + Tackroom

The stables has four functional stalls, a wash bay, and an extra stall that has been converted into a feed/tack room that you can see I've already got myself situated in. The tack/feed room has a door which leads right into my kitchen which is convenient but there's also a hose right outside which is also very convenient. The stalls themselves all have autowaterers, two water buckets each, a nice little feed bin and I've fit them with new hooks for hay nets. I don't stall my horses a whole bunch, but when I do bring them in and I want them to be as comfortable as possible. Overall, I'm really liking the set up I've got going on with the stable block, everything is close together and cozy and very convenient in my opinion. I'm really looking forward to getting to work my horses here.

Right, last but not least, the arena!

Riding Arena

I'm really excited about this part. When I was starting my hunt about six months ago I was really unsure whether or not I'd find somewhere with a decent ring that was in my price range. It was not looking good at first, but this place came up on the market around... late November? if I remember correctly, when I had just about given up on getting the arena I wanted, and it was like the perfect property was conveniently placed right in my lap. I cannot for the life of me remember the dimensions of this ring but it is plenty big for what I was looking for. It's got rubber mulch for the footing and it actually has a little concrete boarder to keep everything in which is unique! but, I think that should work just fine. You'll notice it's connected to the garage as well, which is convenient for jump storage. Even though I now have to share jump storage with my miata- I'll live I guess. But very very excited, cannot wait to ride in this ring!

Right, that will about wrap up today's vlog! I hope you all enjoyed, I'm really excited for this new chapter and I hope you all are too. I've got to get back to unpacking things in the house, I will see you all next week, thanks for watching! Cheers!

Welcome! (OOC post)

Hi! Welcome to my new page, this is a sims roleplay page that's meant to mimic an equestrian vlog channel! My main sims page is @fleetwoodstock-sims if you'd like to see more OOC posts and my other pixel pony happenings

This "vlog" follows my character, Marquis Moulin, and his two horses, Dandy (left) and Robin! (right) Marquis, also known as Mark, Ki, or Kiwi, is an up-and-coming equine influencer in the UK, he has recently purchased his own stables and works at a nearby equestrian center called English Yew Equine Centre. He works with horses full time and focuses on Show Jumping and Eventing. He loves horses with a little extra personality and quirkiness, and he has a slight LeMieux obsession he's a little embarrassed of. He hopes one day he can bring one of his horses through the Grand Prix, specifically Dandy who is his new fancy three year old who isn't quite ready to show yet.

I hope you enjoy! I am by no means a particularly good writer, I'm just doing this for fun so hopefully you find it fun as well lol <3

Felix Woodward 24 - They/He - Pan - Virgo

Don't ask them about their dog… you'll end up in camera roll limbo.

Felix is a calmly unhinged connoisseur of speedy hyperactive creatures. Felix has been obsessed with animals from a young age and as a kiddo was usually reading some large encyclopedia of horses, dogs, or whatever and info-dumping every chance they got. Felix was not born into a horse family and wasn't nepo-babied into the horse industry, rather he didn't get into riding till his early teens and was unsurprisingly hooked. He's never been much of a people-person and has found more comfort in animals but his reluctance towards human interactions had made his entry into the horse industry difficult at points. (Luckily, Marquis held the door open for them a bit)

At English Yew Equine Centre Felix schools and shows their Irish cobs. They often help Marquis with his client horses for the ones he’s a bit too big to ride.

Outside of EYEC Felix exercises track horses and trains dogs

Felix’s horses:

Blizzard Force VT - “Fifi” - 6 y.o. Bay Thoroughbred Mare (LEASE)

EYEC Robin Hood

Representing EYEC at the RHC Autumn Hunt Ridden by Marquis Moulin

"Robin always liked to show off his pre-hunt ansty-prance..."

[fleetwoodstock-sims]

Marquis Moulin 23 - He/him - Bi - Aquarius

Big dumb horse himbo.

Mark is a 6’2” (187 cm) hunk who never grew out of his horse girl phase. He’s chronically outgoing and wears his heart on his sleeve and has an affinity for quirky horses. Mark’s horsemanship started with pony club sat upon his family’s Irish cobs and zooming through jumper courses and field hacks. Eventually fluffy little cobs turned into unruly OTTBs and a passion for training quirky horses. …Self preservation still isn’t a concept to him, he uses any sense of preservation he could’ve had on caring about everyone else around him. Mark is a social butterfly and can befriend just about anyone he meets and his outgoingness has been a driving force to his equestrian career.

At English Yew Equine Centre Mark is an on-site trainer, resident big-horse rider, and stallions/nuisance handler. You’ll often see him training client horses and working with young stock.

Mark’s horses:

EYEC Robin Hood - “Robin” - 10 y.o. Grey OTTB gelding REPH Grand Munia - “Dandy” - 3 y.o. Black British WB mare
