What a fab Sunday we had with some of our LME Pony Club Members. It was definitely our biggest turnout for a mini champs qualifier yet. We headed off to Pendarves for our first Mini Qualifiers of the season. It was such a well run event thanks to the Fourburrow Pony Club for hosting, it was beautiful weather and we just had the best day 🫶

HUGE well done to those who rode their socks off yesterday and managed to smash it to qualify for the mini champs at Bicton in 2025 ….so super duper proud of you all.

So grateful to be able to spend such wonderful days with such a super bunch of people 🥰🥰 We can’t wait for next time 🥰🥰

Aren’t we lucky to have such incredible coaches here at LME 👌🏻🫶

I love this image it really resonates with me.
Sometimes after a long day of coaching you can feel completely exhausted and drained of all inner power BUT this comes with pure satisfaction and accomplishment from helping others

Today I did 8 hours back to back coaching. I love it so much it doesn't feel exhausting at all at the time but then I go home and crash. I eat my dinner and promptly fall asleep on the couch. I wake up 4 hours later, drag myself to bed and then this happens ....im wide awake at 2.30am planning my lessons for the week and reflecting on the days sessions.

I'm bit sure where the words below originated from. They aren't my words but I totally agree as I am sure other coaches of all sports will do also.

👇👇👇👇👇👇👇

This image captures the essence of the relationship between a coach and an athlete. It shows how coaches invest pieces of themselves—knowledge, experience, passion—into their athletes, helping them grow, excel, and reach their full potential.

Behind every great athlete is a coach who believed, guided, and gave more than just instructions. They pour time, energy, and heart into molding not only the athlete’s skills but also their character, resilience, and mindset. Coaches are mentors, motivators, and sometimes even life-changers. They give so much of themselves to see others succeed.

To all the coaches out there—thank you for your selflessness, dedication, and unwavering support. You shape not just athletes but also leaders and strong individuals for the future. 🙏

Hi All 😘😘 I am shamefully behind on social media updates 🫣🫣 This year has been tricky and there has been some things that have really needed my attention, which in turn has meant I have dropped some plates….social media being one of them!!

However I am back and ready to update you so watch this space!!

I am going to start with the camp we held at Pontispool at the beginning of the month. We had THE best time!! Thankyou so so much to all
of you who came and of course to our incredible coaches who work so hard to ensure everyone is catered for and everyone has the best time 😘 We must not forget our amazing Julia Powney Photography for capturing memories throughout the whole camp that will last forever 🫶🫶

We were able to get out on the cross country course BOTH days which was awesome and as always everyone achieved MASSES. The weather behaved until the very last afternoon when we got soaked (but it was the last few hours by then and we just didn’t care 😂) . None of us wanted to go home and we would all quite happily have stayed a lot longer!!

The food as always was incredible and we were so well looked after by all at Pontispool Equine Sports & Holidays. We are always so grateful to have such wonderful facilities to use and enjoy 😘

Mandy (our chief coach) and I drove home reflecting on how grateful we are to be able to spend these camps with you all and how much we love helping you achieve so much 🥰🥰 That also got us talking about our 2025 camps!

CAMPS FOR 2025. The dates are now in the diary for all of our 2025 camps and they will be released within the next few days so….keep an eye out 😘

A Sunday post to say how incredibly grateful we are 🫶🫶

A while ago we mentioned that our very special unicorns could do with some new rugs as we headed in to Winter. Well….we have been absolutely blown away by how kind people have been. Some incredibly special people have bought beautiful brand new rugs for some of our superstars.

They and we are so incredibly grateful. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Beyond unbearable 💔💔🙏🏻🙏🏻

With this devastating hurricane Milton coming in to hit Florida just take a moment to think about how fortunate we actually are here in the UK- I’ll be the first to complain about the weather, but I’m so grateful that I don’t have to write numbers on my horses before I release them and pray that they might survive 10-12 ft water surges. Or that I have to write my own name in permanent marker incase I die so they can identify me….

Give your horses, dogs, cats, friends and family a hug today.

Hope everyone in Florida stays as safe as they can possibly be
