It’s been a little quiet on here lately, so here’s why…

Almost 12 weeks ago, I had not one but two falls off Albany within a week. To some, that might not sound like a big deal—but for me, it completely shattered my confidence. Both Albany and I lost trust in each other. We stopped working as a team and instead just existed beside one another—nervous, unsure, and disconnected.

So, for the past 12 weeks, we’ve been focusing on rebuilding that trust from the ground up. Today, we finally had a breakthrough. For the first time since my fall, I truly felt like we were back on the same page. Albany was happy to leave his paddock mates and genuinely wanted to engage with me during our groundwork. It felt like I finally had my horse back.

The moral of the story? It’s not about how fast you get there or ticking off milestones—it’s about the journey, the small wins, and learning to listen to your horse (and yourself) along the way.

Crisp mornings and sunny afternoons — just another day in Victoria! ❄️☀️
It’s that time of year when the mornings start at 8 degrees, and I feel a little guilty peeling rugs off… but by midday, we’re basking in beautiful 20-degree sunshine.
It’s a juggling act between keeping them warm and letting them enjoy the sunshine — but seeing them stretch out in the paddock, soaking it all in, makes it worth it. 🌾🐴

👉 How are you managing rugging this autumn? Are you keeping them rugged up, or letting them feel the chill a little?
Share your routine in the comments — I’d love to hear how everyone’s navigating the season!

Big Thank you to Georgia Van der Veen Horsemanship for her advice on my warmblood Albany. After talking with Georgia and explaining the groundwork i had done with my boy, she talked me through some different exercises to do both on the ground and under saddle to help bring his focus and attention back to me, both on the ground and in the saddle. Particularly when he loses focus and looks at other horses or something scary. Her advice was clear, easy to understand, and she related it back to how us humans think/feel, to help me understand the benefits better. Her advice gave be one of the best rides I've had on this horse and the results really showcase her knowledge and understanding of the horse's nervous system. Couldn't recommend Georgia enough. ⭐⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🐴

Sometimes all you need to do is sit back and listen to horses eating😂🐴. If you know, you know.
