Barney living his best life 🄹

Living his peaceful life out in a herd—happy, calm, and completely at ease.

It just goes to show how misunderstood some horses can be when they’re forced into environments that don’t meet their needs. Since moving somewhere that allows him to live out full-time with other horses, he’s transformed. He’s wasn’t dangerous, just frustrated.

So much of the horse world in the UK is designed around what’s easiest for people, not what’s healthiest for the horse. Barney is living proof of what can happen when we flip that mindset.

What are your thoughts on the best setups for horses to suit them over people?

Clipping season is here! 🐓✨

Aurum is fully clipped right now, hes not in work currently as he’s recovering from laminitis but this will come in handy when he is. Once he’s back at it, the full clip will keep him cool and make grooming easier. Bonus it will also help keep the weight off while he’s not in work.

Fynnigan’s still rocking his face and legs for a bit of extra warmth as the weather cools down. He can be a tad sensitive to weather changes. Each horse’s clip depends on what they need—every one is different!

Anyone else clipping for the season? What’s your go-to style for your horse?

First arena outing for my lad, and I couldn’t be prouder! He’s come so far over nearly four years, and every step is a reminder of his incredible journey.

Next year, we’re aiming for the competition ring—watch this space! šŸ“šŸ’«

My favourite client pony and his best girl friend.

I love nothing more than seeing horses enjoying time together.

I think it’s one that really could be improved on in the horse world. Horses are herd animals. Give them a herd.

Life has been both hectic and quiet all at once recently.

Such a gorgeous sky at the yard this morning.

I’ve finally pulled myself together a bit and joined the gym so early morning for me this morning to get all the ponies sorted, get to the gym and then get to work 🫣.

I decided since I was trying to get the ponies fitter I also should be getting fitter. I have also been taking less freelance work on now and concentrating more on our own horses. Though you will still see content of my favourite ponies here and there šŸ˜‰.

It’s not easy to get all our horses worked and cared for, work full time, go to the gym, enjoy life and teach šŸ˜‚. So although I am still teaching, I am being more selective in who I take onto teach now and limiting the time I have available to teach.

After all it’s important to take time to actually enjoy your life.

Last of the Barney spam.

As you can see I went straight to show photo shopping šŸ˜‚

Lovely pictures captured by EquinePix Photography.

I even got the one of me giving him a šŸ’‹on print to come 🄹.

Lovely show at Severn Valley Wpca. Perfect atmosphere for his first outing.

Mr Barns strikes again!

We headed out for his first outing today and he took it like an old pro. We loaded, travelled to the show and walked off calm and collected to have a look around while I groomed him off. This horse has not left the yard since he was transported there as a yearling but you wouldn’t have known it.

He stood chilled ringside until his class then behaved impeccably to compete. He could have done with a more enthusiastic trot instead of the tired slow one he did but can’t be too picky šŸ˜‚. The judge didn’t place him high in the classes but he still came away with a red and two 3rds. We don’t care that the red was because he was the only one in that class šŸ˜‚ he was a winner in our eyes from the very start!

He had people off the yard and the owners friends on the sidelines cheering and supporting him. The judge said he was the only class winner with such a big fan group šŸ˜‚. She also said he behaved amazingly and he will go far in life with how mannerly he is.

You wouldn’t believe it was the same pony up for sale last year that bolted, bucked and threw legs. I sat and watched some other classes while he grazed next to me.

He loaded on the trailer and he waited for a good time while we all had some cake and something to drink. Then headed home, unloaded and got to go back on grass with his bestie.

The cool dude is always a winner in our eyes!

Just a horse.

From time to time people tell me ā€œchill out, it’s just a horseā€ or ā€œit’s a lot of money just for a horse.ā€ They don’t understand the distance traveled, the time invested, or the costs incurred by ā€œjust a horseā€.
Some of my proudest moments have occurred with ā€œjust a horse.ā€
Many hours have passed being my only company ā€œjust a horseā€, but not for one moment did I feel despised. Some of my saddest moments have been because of ā€œjust a horse,ā€ and on those gray days, the gentle touch of ā€œjust a horseā€ gave me comfort and the reason to get through the day.
If you also think ā€œit’s just a horseā€, then you’ll probably understand phrases like ā€œjust a friendā€, ā€œjust a sunriseā€ or ā€œjust a promise.ā€ ā€œJust a horseā€ brings into my life the very essence of friendship, trust and pure unbridled joy. ā€œJust a horseā€ brings out the compassion and patience that make me a better person.
For ā€œjust a horseā€ I will get up early, take long rides and look forward to the future. So for me and people like me, it’s not ā€œjust a horse,ā€ but an embodiment of all the hopes and dreams of the future, the memories of the past, and the absolute joy of the moment. ā€œJust a horseā€ brings out the good in me and takes my thoughts away from myself and daily worries.
I hope one day they can understand that it’s not ā€œjust a horseā€, but the one that gives me humanity and keeps me from being ā€œjust a human.ā€ So the next time you hear the phrase ā€œjust a horseā€, just smile because they ā€œjust don’t get itā€.

Today’s adventure šŸ«¶šŸ»

We decided to load up some ponies with friends and head to the rainbow trails 🌈.

It was such a lovely day! Upon arrival there are horse tie up areas as well as 3 corals to put your horses into. The tie ups reminded me of being in a western šŸ˜‚.

The trails are all sign posted so you can choose the length of route you would like to hack. We went down and up different elevations and through all types of tracking. It really made the ponies think and have a little fun on their outing. And no cars! We actually didn’t see another person the whole 5 mile route we took!

At the end of the ride, the corals made a perfect resting spot for all the ponies to chill under some shade while we had some food and drink before heading home.

And the very best part… it’s all free!

Use it or lose as they say. So a a little idea to have a perfect trial riding day out.

Just one cute boy being his best self.

Of course as soon as I get him back riding he gets an abscess šŸ˜‚.
He’s gonna spend some time chilling again while that clears up then he’ll be back to it.
