Wishing the best of luck to all clients and connections competing at the Suffolk show today and tomorrow.

It is the first year, ever, that I’ve not been there but the weather does not look small baby friendly!

I look forward to hearing how you all get on.

Take care, have fun and I hope your knickers too soggy!

With a heavy heart and effective as of December 15th I will no longer be offering my services to new clients, or clients that want me back after moving their custom elsewhere for the next best thing.

After 15 years I am now struggling to compete with the sheer amount of freelancers locally who are managing to offer the same services at a fraction of the price, I am losing customers every week.

I always wanted to be the best, the best plaiter, the best clipper, the best competition groom etc and I very nearly got there, but after a couple of years of having to fight to be heard and situations out of my control,I am now losing the spark for what was once my passion.

My family and I have not had an easy year and with losses, changes and sheer lack of time I am just not willing to sacrifice any more of myself for people who don’t appreciate how hard I work, or what it takes to run a household, a business, raise a family and keep my head above the water financially, mentally and physically.

I am so lucky to be left with under a handful of wonderful clients who I appreciate and know the feeling is mutual.

I appreciate the genuine support from fellow grooms, clients and horse owners over the last few years, I’ve truly worked hard to get where I am today but I feel now is the time to say goodbye before it gets any harder.

Take care all, it’s tough out there!

⚠️ FLOOD NOTICE TO CLIENTS ⚠️

A little reminder to clients that in extreme weather I will not put myself or my possessions in danger. I am glad that most of my clients understand this and feel the same, however a select few seem to not understand this.

I will not drive through ridiculous rain or huge floods in my little car, your appointment will be rescheduled.

I will not stand for any abuse of any kind or snotty messages saying how unreliable I am, you will be blocked and someone else can have your lovely delightful custom 😉

⚠️❤️ Stay safe out there, it’s miserable ❤️⚠️

We went and met the gorgeous Cliff at World Horse Welfare Hall Farm Snetterton last week.

Sadly Harry wasn’t quite sure he was his new best friend material but he is a super sweet boy and if anyone is looking for a small companion gelding he could be just what you’re looking for. If I had the space I’d have had him anyway!

His details are still on the website.
