GET TO KNOW ME 🤎
1. Growing up I was animal obsessed, we had a variety of pets - Guinea pigs, rabbits, cats and a dog. But my heart was with horses! I started riding at the age of 6, desperate for my own horse I got a paper round & saved up to buy one, at 15 with some extra help from my parents, I was able to buy Winger, a 4 year old ex racehorse. He was the best horse, who we very sadly had so say goodbye to after 5 fantastic years 💔
2. This is Hugo! My second horse, a 4 year old ex racehorse who was a lot more ✨spicy✨ than Winger, he taught me a lot and I was lucky to take him to work with me when I took the job of a live in groom on a dressage yard. Unfortunately he had a lot of previous injuries from racing which caught up with him by the very young age of 8, meaning another heartbreaking goodbye 💔
3. I took a 3 year gap from owning horses after losing Hugo on my 25th birthday. Then I came across this chap, Prince, yep you guessed it, another 4 year old ex racehorse 🙈. I still own him but he is currently out on full loan being spoiled and loved by a lovely young rider & I get to visit him often.
4. My parents, my best friends & my biggest supporters, they’ve been there through it all & I am very lucky to have such wonderful role models.
5. Blue - I got him from Battersea in 2019 as a 4 month old kitten who was dumped in a box with 2 siblings & his mum. He is the best character & he even plays fetch!
6. Nellie - a lovely 5 year old Collie x who we rehomed in June 2024, we absolutely adore her & she loves joining my daily dog walks.
7. The love of my life, Dean & I met in 2021 after I joined the gym he was at, the gym owner set us up and the rest is history. I couldn’t ask for someone better to do life with & he loves animals as much as me (except horses 😅)
8. Our stunning Koi pond, Dean built this pond shortly after we bought our house in 2023 & he did an incredible job, I’ve lost count of the amount of fish we have but I think it’s around 19.
9. Fitness has always been a huge part of my life, from trail running, to competitive bodybuilding, to CrossFit. I have slowed down over the last year but still love being active.
10. Laughter is medicine & my friends are like sisters to me ❤️
11. The small wonders in life make me the happiest, sunsets, sunrise, pretty views & nature. Everything is beautiful if you pay attention to it.
