HOLIDAY!

Hi everyone I am off on my honeymoon on the 2nd September-17th September inclusive!
I will be back at work Friday 20th September. I will be finishing work on the 30th August. (Ready for my brothers wedding!)

AUGUST.
I will be doing some reduced hours in August between the 9th and 26th due to my daughters daycare closing for a holiday, so please bare with me while I juggle child care and work! As sometimes I struggle to say no 😂🫣
Please note I will NOT be working Tuesday 20th.

I will keep people updated with any changes in the August hours!

Thank you as always 🥰🐴

Thank you ❤️

Hi everyone!!

Christmas is approaching very fast 🎄

Just to say that I will be taking time off over the Christmas period!

My last day will be Friday 22nd December and I will be back on Thursday 4th January 🎄

I am potentially offering more days for 6 weeks when Scott is recovering, so let me know if you require more help in January 🐴

31/07/2023

Hi everyone!

Unfortunately I’m going to have to cancel a majority of my clients this week,

I have no child care due to it being shut and a wedding at the end of the week.

I haven’t been organised with so much going on, so I do apologise.
But I can’t physically work a full working week this week.

If you can find it other alternatives I would be hugely greatful!
If not please let me know and I will do the best I can!

Sorry again!

Ash 🐴

Hi everyone!

Due to the rising cost and the current cost of living I am forced to put my prices up.

For everyone that I currently do work for yard and riding there will be an increase of £3 an hour.
I have only put my prices up once in 10 years.

I understand that everyone is feeling the pinch at the moment so if this is something that will unable me to carry out work for you anymore please do let me know, but I do have to find a happy medium.

I am also adding on a £5 charge for every extra horse I exercise via ride and lead, so if I currently ride your horse there will be a £3 increase, and the lead horse will be an extra £5.

This will come into affect from the 1st of September 2023.

I hate doing stuff like this as I love my job but I also have to be able to afford bills/childcare myself!

As always I thank you all for your loyalty!!

Ash ❤️

05/06/2023

I am now back from my holiday ☀️

As always I try my best to do emergency covers 👏

Looking forward to a busy summer! 🐴

Hi everyone!!

I think it’s about time I get back into work 🫣 while I’ve been working on the down low for a few months now,
I am officially back to work starting the week of 23rd January.
I am pretty much full already, but I am able to take on maybe a couple more rides or 1 yard consisting of 3/4 horses (or more)

I am only working
Tuesday all day - I have one riding space available
Thursday all day - I have one riding space available
Friday half day - small yard or 2 riding spaces
Saturday half day- 1 riding space available

This is a first come first serve basis, I have no morning availability I can only offer mid morning to early afternoon.
I also have to be more strict on my finish time due to child care pick up. So please bare this in mind.

Thank you to everyone who has been so supportive of me during my maternity leave and have welcomed me back with open arms!!

09/12/2022

Give Scott a call on 07494653544

14/09/2022

Hi everyone.

I hope you have all had a good summer,

Just to say I have had a lot off messages about me coming back/taking on work,
I really appreciate all of you welcoming me back with open arms,

I am back working in some places, but I am not taking on any more work until November, it’s been a very full on year for me and I need time to be a mum before I go back into the full swing of working again,

I will post again when I am opening my diary,
I have read your messages and I’m not ignoring you on purpose, I will reply when I finish my maternity leave!

Many thanks to you all!

Ash ❤️

I have had serious mum brain! My number is 07861764351! For those contacting me about Snip!
The other number was from 2 years ago 😂

22/06/2022

I’ve been thinking long and hard about whether this is the right thing to do!!
But here goes…

Snippy is very sadly is looking for a new 🏡

Due to having a baby recently I have decided to put Snip up for sale through no fault of her own,
I bought snip nearly 2 years ago and she was suppose to be a quick project to sell on but I fell in love and kept her! (And I still love her very much but cannot afford a horse as a pet at this time)

Snip will be looking for a quiet leisurely home that she can enjoy, hacking and bringing on her schooling work,
Due to being pregnant and then having a baby Snip has had a quiet year, though I did ride her until I was 36 weeks pregnant!
She had 12 weeks off and I just got straight back on her with no problems at all.

Snip will need a confident and competent rider, while she is very sweet and loving she relies on her riders confidence to get the best out of her,
Please bare this in mind if you are interested!

Very well behaved to handle on the ground,
She is not at all mareish. Is good with geldings and mares!
She does not like being on her own out in the field, but fine in the stable and to be ridden on her own!

Snip would suit a peaceful home where she is loved and cared for everyday, and someone who understands that snip doesn’t want to be the next best eventer!
I’ve put a lot of work into her and I believe she would suit a mother and daughter share on a quiet yard.

She’s never sick or sorry and is quite sturdy for a little thoroughbred!

Open to any vetting and trainer!

16.1hh
9yrs old
Tb
Bay
Mare

Please text me on 07861764351 for more information!

Hi everyone!

Not a pregnancy announcement 😂 still very much pregnant!

My partner Scott has decided to go on his own to set up a landscaping business! To meet all your landscaping needs!
His fencing work is spot on if I do say so myself and we all know how much maintenance it is to keep our horses fencing up together!!
If anyone needs any landscaping work do get in touch!
His Instagram is Sable_works4
And his number is on the 3rd picture!
And is also good with horses 😍🐎

💗💙🤰

Well that is me done!
My last morning at work! And now it’s time to take it easy until the baby arrives!!
Thank you so much to everyone who has kept me busy all the way through this pregnancy! You are all amazing and I’m so lucky to work for such wonderful people and their horses!!

Please keep in touch and update me on how your horses are going!!

See you all soon 👩‍🍼👶❤️

Hi everyone!

Just an update for my maternity leave plans!
I’m still planning on working until 11th march,
But!
I will only be working full time until Friday 25th Feb.
And then from 28th Feb until 11th march I will be working mornings only!! 8-12! (Not including weekends)
I’m slowing down a lot now and don’t have the energy to work full time for another 4 weeks!
I really appreciate everyone helping me out to make things easier for me!
I’ve got a feeling these next few weeks will fly by!
Also next Friday I will be finishing early, around 1pm due to other commitments!

Thank you all so much ❤️

04/01/2022

Happy new year everyone 🥳

A few things to update you all on and answer everyone’s questions all at once!

I am planning on leaving for maternity on 11th March 🤰
This is a rough date and it may need to be sooner but I can’t imagine it being any later,
For the next couple of months if people could help me out with having bedding and hay ready to go in stables to prevent heavy lifting that would help me massively.

👷‍♀️I am now going to be taking safety a little more seriously than I normally would, so any horses that haven’t been turned out for longer than 24hours will not be handled by me and I will expect owners to exercise or turnout before I am around them!

🐎I will be opening my weekends for January and February to allow more help to you for these hard winter months!

🎂I am away 4th 5th 6th February for my birthday so I am unavailable on these dates inclusive!

☀️I have a couple of clients looking for grooms to cover my maternity leave which will be in the summer, if anyone is looking for summer work please get in touch as I have some wonderful people who will need help! The one thing I ask is you must be reliable! As these are mainly competition yards who are away regularly and need the yard at home well looked after!

I hope everyone has a happy, healthy and safe 2022

Hey guys!!

Just a quick update,
I’m completely full until I finish next Wednesday!
I’ve decided to work a couple of days in between Christmas and new year!
But mornings only 8-12
I’ll be offering 28th 29th and 30th this is a first come first serve basis,
I will be giving up most of my riding in the new year but I have spoken to most owners about this but please do chat to me if you’re unsure of my plans.
I’m hoping to work until March time with normal yard duties, so I will have more space for this once my riding work has finished!

Enjoy the build up to Christmas 🎅 ❄️🐎🎄

15/11/2021

Just a reminder that I’m not at work this Friday until the following Wednesday!
I also won’t be answering any work related message from Thursday night until Wednesday morning!
And then I’ll be back fresh and ready for the last few weeks before Christmas!

I love helping people get to a position where they feel confident enough to ride their horse again,
You’re not alone and so many of us lose our confidence one way or another when riding,
Im always happy to help anyone who feels like they have hit a break wall with their confidence!
Sam is doing so so well!!! ❤️

🖤SOLD🖤

Blackberry has sold and heads to her new home on Saturday! Thank you for everyone who messaged me about her!
Wishing new owner Rose all the best!

If anyone needs help selling their horse, please get in touch!
Or if anyone has some horses that need a new job I would be interested in bringing some horses on and finding them their perfect new homes 🐴🏡❤️

10/06/2021

For share, to stay at current yard in Coaley!

I’m offering my own girl Snip, up for share,
With work being super busy at the moment I am struggling to give snip the exercise that she needs,
So I am looking for someone to exercise and share duties to help me with my day to day time management,
Flexible on days to suit sharer,
Snip is a 16hh bay tb mare, 8yr old,
Great to handle on the ground, nice and quiet,
Will need a confident and competent rider, all though snip is proving to be a lovely all rounder, she can be sharp at times,
Hacks out alone and in company, good in open spaces and there is always someone to hack out with,
Schooling is getting there but I’m still working on her canter and building her muscle up
Will pop small fences, but again she is still learning,
A good opportunity for someone who wants to ride a horse that has a bit about them!
She will give you her all once she gains your trust,
Any questions please ask
