I DID NOT KNOW... by Alissa Kelly

I did not know a horse could bring people into your life that end up meaning the most to you.
I did not know a horse could make the hardest days of your life bearable.
I did not know a horse could teach you to put others first.
I did not know a horse could remind you time and time again that your gut is always right.
I did not know a horse could break your heart.
I did not know a horse could pick you up when you have fallen apart.
I did not know a horse could teach you to dream again, after you thought it was not possible.
I did not know a horse could make you believe in yourself.
I did not know a horse could teach responsibility, work ethic, and dedication.
I did not know a horse could make you believe in something when no one else does.
I did not know a horse could make you learn to forgive and forget.
I did not know a horse could humble you faster than you can say humble.
I did not know a horse could make you a winner.
I did not know a horse could also teach you how to lose gracefully.
I did not know a horse could instill patience in you.
I did not know a horse could make you listen better.
I did not know a horse could give you their heart.
I did not know a horse could change your life.
I did not know a horse could do all these things...
but now I know. ❤️❤️

Anyone looking for a fun new pony? 🐎🤔

14.2 HH 6 YO Bay Gelding Con X Type. A very special pony that I have had since a yearling, absolutely fantastic personality, he will lick you to death! He has been produced slowly and carefully. He is easy to ride in the Ménage, but is more forward when he is jumping, he has done a bit of everything, light competing, showjumping, dressage and cross-country, but now ready for bigger things, matured into himself. He could be a big track pony in the future. He has no vices and is not buck or rear, he can be a bit spooky, but that is why he needs a more confident rider. If you are looking for an amazing pony, then please give me a call and I will be 100% truthful about everything that he does or doesn’t do, I owe it to him to find him the perfect home.

I received a lovely surprise this afternoon from a client who just wanted to say thank you 💐💜

This really is the best job at times, October has been one of my busiest months so far... but really so rewarding to know I'm able to help fellow owners achieve a horse/life balance, whilst meeting some lovely equines in my care ❤ 🐎 thank you

Is anyone looking to fill a doggie hole in their home? 🐕 ... I have been asked if I can help find a home for a lovely 8yr old rough collie bitch, who's owner has sadly passed away. 💔 She is a lovely girl, great with other dogs (has previously lived with another bitch), travels well, house trained, up to date with vaccinations etc.
Please get in touch with me for more information and I can put you in touch with her if a suitable match! 🐕
Please feel free to share, before I end up trying to make space for her at home 🙈😬 as she is a lovely girl 🐕💜
