She is here, safe and sound! A massive thankyou to all my clients this year for being so incredibly supportive of my pregnancy journey. It was frustrating at times but as you can see, so worth it in the end. I will keep you all updated as to when I’m back to work in the new year, until then thankyou again for the all the support and wonderful gifts I received, my new side kick and I look forward to working with you in 2024!

Darcy you’re a little Superstar! 🤩
Big smiles even after a lesson in the rain.
Amazing growth in Darcys confidence after only a few lessons. Now trotting around without holding her saddle and much stronger in her position.

‘Education isn’t something you can finish’ ~ Isaac Asimov
A weekend away in the Cotswolds for this Stud Practice and Practical Foal Handling course presented by Kelly Marks Intelligent Horsemanship.
I love learning from lots of sources and in my work it is so important to have a full tool box of solutions to approach any situation.

Did you know it is UK Coaching Week?!
I'm very proud to be accredited by the BHS, the UK's largest equine charity.

This should sound familiar to a few of my clients! Some great illustrations here too.

"To correct your seat and posture, imagine your pelvis as an old-fashioned goldfish bowl. To maintain your posture while you ride, keep the water in the bowl level. If your pelvis is tipped forward, the water will pour out onto the horse’s withers. If your pelvis is tipped backward, you will pour the water out onto the haunches." — Janice Dulak

So the postman doesn’t always bring bills!
I’ve been putting these exams off for far too long and it’s been great this winter to finally have some time (and confidence) to move forward. There are a few more to work toward but I’m on my way!

Always learning! Great CPD day at Duchy College.

Love coming to this yard, it’s the sort of place that never lets the kettle go cold, made even more lovely in the sunshine.
A full clip for Paddy this morning with legs and half face. Big change from his Irish winter clip but much more manageable for his owner now he’s malting.

Such a pleasing session with Dawn and her lovely shire Alice this morning. Lots of perseverance and support from Dawns daughter, Emma, to get to this point. We had to go back to basics with Alice, looking at all elements from her daily routine and nutrition to hours of groundwork and long reining. It’s really paid off to have short hack under saddle this morning.
Both horse and rider should be very proud of themselves.

Double trouble this afternoon!

Spring definitely feels like it’s on its way today, My golden oldie was snoozing in the sun this morning. I’m looking forward to getting that rug off for the summer but dreading the moulting of her winter coat underneath 🫣

New year resolutions, have you got one?
For me it’s to get my boy fit after his injury and back into the dressage arena.
So, what is it for you? To ride more? A fun ride or competition you are aiming for? To regain confidence or achieve an industry certificate? Let me know and we’ll make a plan to reach those goals.

On board my last client of 2022! I’d like to thank everybody for their support this year and to everyone that has messaged, shared and liked my little business.
I am freelancing full time from the new year and will have more availability so please do drop me a message for coaching, clipping and exercise.
Wishing you all a very happy and healthy new year!

Busy day now we’re finally out again after last weeks snow and ice stopped play.
Spotted this one out on my last ride of the day, could it be a good omen for the new year?

What a little super star! This is Rolo the 2year old hill pony, he needed to be clipped for medical reasons and stood so quietly. Such a testament to sympathetic training and desensitisation, massive well done to his owner Sophie! 👏
Can’t wait to see him fulfill his potential as a driving pony in years to come!

At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.

Good morning handsome boy! This is the very lovely Ben that I help exercise each week.
With the clocks changing my schedule is squeezing into day light hours, still some availability for clipping and coaching next week!

End of a long day with an evening walk with my mate Roo! Very brave for his first time long reining on the road.

29/09/2022

He’s back! After 12months off with a tendon injury, my boy Wally has finally got the clear from the vet to very slowly come back into work. Just short walks under saddle until the end of October but I am so pleased to be back on board.

Finding my way through Exmoor for teaching this morning. So lucky to have all this on our doorstep.

Got to my first yard ahead of my client this morning, time to finish my coffee and enjoy the beautiful sunshine
