I often thought if someone bent my leg and held it up I'd definitely be lame. Food for thought here

Great to see riding for the disabled getting insured for another year. Going to be harder and harder for equestrian activities to get insurance. Hopefully the underwriters and government will get behind ALL equestrian activities.

Something to think about:

We preach Farmers should use less antibiotics, but if your own kitten or dog is sick, you go to the vet right away and give them antibiotics and medications that are prescribed.

Farmers should not import animal feed, but we regularly eat couscous, soy, avocado, bananas, which are for sale in our country due to imports... 🍅🥥

Farmers spoil the drinking water with pesticides. We shower daily with shampoo, rinse medicine down the sink and swim in the chlorine pools... 💧

The farmers should use less pesticides, but we buy strawberries and asparagus in the winter because we can't wait for the season to come... 🍓🥦

The farmers have to adhere to stringent welfare standards forcing prices up, but we buy the cheaper piece of foreign meat from the supermarket because the domestic one is too expensive naively thinking the rest of the World has the same high welfare standards. 🥩🥩

Farmers would need less pesticides if we bought a crazy shaped carrot or apple with brown spots, but we always buy the nicer looking items.

Nobody appears interested in which and how many antibiotics or pesticides have been used abroad and that we have no influence on that! Then that treated food comes to us by plane or ship.... but we are 'environmentally aware??’ Really????

It is not just the farmers who have to change things, but the consumer!

Let's finally start with ourselves before we always lecture others!

One thing you should never forget, the FARMERS take care of your food, worldwide! 🧀🥚🍷 🧀🥚🍷

A healthier world is everyone's responsibility.
A little awareness won't hurt.

SUPPORT OUR FARMERS, BUY IRISH!

Things you should know before buying a horse:

1. They will multiply. You’ll have one, then suddenly you’ll have another, and the cycle repeats itself for all of eternity. Pro tip: Some horses are the exact same color. This means those free souls who are not horse people aka husbands will not be able to tell the difference. You can have multiple horses of the same color and claim to have only one and your husband will never know.

2. You will buy specific outfits to wear around your horse. They will smell terrible. Then you will go shopping in these outfits and everyone in the grocery store will turn their noses up and avoid you. These outfits will cost more than everyone’s grocery carts combined and yet you will smell and look like a complete pauper.

3. Barn time is not like other time. You might go to the barn planning on spending an hour there, but you won’t leave until the barn feels its time for you to go. A week later you might walk out to see your husband and kids lying in the driveway waiting for dinner. There’s no telling what the barn will decide. It is its own entity. Respect it. Don’t make plans around it.

4. They wear shoes. Like human shoes, except 5x more expensive. Also, they only wear them if they want to. Some days, they’ll take their shoes off and leave them piled up in the mud. It’s impossible to find these shoes after they leave them somewhere.

5. You will be called horse girl. You can take this as you’d like to take it. Some horse girls take it poorly. Some take it well. Sometimes its an insult. Sometimes it’s a mark of respect for a human who is strong enough to keep a 1200Ib “my sole purpose is to die from stomachaches” animal alive.

6. Oh yes, stomachaches. Did we not cover stomach aches yet? My bad. Let me explain. Horses don’t like having stomach aches. When you have a stomachache, you might have a soothing drink and sit down a minute. Horses are not like you. Horses will feel slightly off anywhere in their bodies and will simply decide to give up the ghost. Everything and anything can kill a horse. If it moves, it will kill a horse. If it doesn’t move, it will kill a horse. If you’re not sure if it moves or doesn’t move, it will still kill a horse.

7. Most importantly, horses will change your life. You will cry and laugh at the same time. You will look like a total fool at a show, but you will have the time of your life doing it. You will meet people who’ve got the horse bug too and suddenly you’ll have a second family. You will ride one day and then spend four days trying to learn how to get out of your car without groaning. You will have horse cookies in your laundry and your house will smell like your best friend. You will spend every waking minute and every sleeping half second thinking about them. And, when the moon aligns with the earth just right, the tree sways in the exact manner needed, and the birds quiet for one instant, you will realize you are living inside the dream you had as a child. You will be the princess on a horse.

Ireland officially on 11%, I would say the unofficial numbers are alot higher.

Latest data shows an increase in women entering farming, rural development is supporting this rise.

Life is just too short.

Too short to be spent worrying about competition records and double clears – most of us aren’t destined for the Olympics so give your horse a pat, give yourself a break and be grateful when you get home safe.

Too short to be spent obsessing over one bad ride – it was just that, one bad ride… let it go.

Too short to be spent wondering what other people think of you…or your horse. The likelihood is, nobody cares anyway, but if they do, give them something to think about.

Too short to be spent comparing yourself to the rider on the opposite side of the collecting ring. They are on their own path and so are you, stay in your lane.

Too short to be spent waiting for opportunities to come along and offer themselves to you – run out into the world, work your ass off and find them. There is never a ‘right time’, only a ‘right now’.

Too short to be spent rushing around, missing out on the little things – take a moment and a deep breath, pick up a brush and spend some time with your horse. One day when all you’ve got is photographs, you’ll be really grateful you did.

Life is too short to spend it worrying, obsessing, wondering, comparing, waiting, or rushing around. So when things go wrong…laugh. When things go right…smile and when you think it can’t get any worse…grab your neck strap and hold on tight, because it probably will, but that’s why the good days feel so damn good - because you’ve worked so damn hard to get there.

Go gallop round that field, race down the beach with your bestie, ride ba****ck and get bucked off…you only get one go round so you may as well have fun!

It's the weekend.... Enjoy

If you give your child a pony, they will want to ride. You’ll buy them the best pony you can find, followed by a hat, boots and all the other things pony.

You look for a local stables to ride at where you start to socialise with the horsey community...and then life as you know it, will end.

Before you know it, they want to go to shows so you join BS …there will be no more lazy weekends watching TV. You will see more sunrises than you ever thought possible.

Every spare minute of your time will be spent driving horseboxes and enduring a crazy addiction to practice for the next show.

Your house may be a mess, and your car will be dirty. All because you gave your child a pony. Your weekends will be spent freezing or burning to death on a fold up chair. And their weekends will be spent gaining confidence and friends, learning new skills and having fun and getting dirty!!!!

You will be there the day he or she takes the first few steps of canter, the first taste of a jump, first rosette, first win. And they will make you SO proud. Other parents will congratulate you, but you feel weird saying thank you because it's not you on the pony, it’s your child. It's everything that they did, they achieved. And right before your eyes, your little boy/girl will be transformed from the baby who bounced around on their rocking horse into an exceptional young horse enthusiast on the hunt for the next HOYS ticket or maybe even the Olympics!

When you give your child a pony, you give them more than just something to ride. You give them a sport, a talent, hope and dreams. Friends, a new family, a place to learn about life, room to grow as a person where they can push their limits, and bravery, and courage, and memories. And they will have ALL of these things, simply because you gave your child a pony.

Because you gave your child a pony, you too will develop new/lifelong friendships, developed solely from the same passion for the sport. You will have an equestrian family because you gave your child a pony.

Then one day, many years from today…they will be in their room and a certain trophy will catch their eye. And they will pick it up and realise instantly that when you gave them a pony, you also gave them a childhood that they would never forget. At this point, you realise that everything you gave up along the way and sacrificed was totally worth it…..

All because you gave your child a pony...

Inspiring words from Horzehoods....

🔥🔥🔥🔥

To any start up’s, businesses going through tough times, or hitting a wall just vision big, believe & never be afraid to be different with your creatives.

Anything is possible.

9 years ago this was us as a start up family Brand, the trade tent you see here not only held our stock but we also camped inside in a freezing cold field. We started of with a stock value of £2000 and zero investment from humble beginnings. Each year growing steadfastly.

Fast forward to today we are 204% growth up on the 12 months before, preparing for our latest eagerly awaited Collection, prepping for the best event in the U.K. ‘Horse of the Year Show’ with our new custom built stand and our 3 year old Sister Brand HH Unique at the forefront.

The truth is, it doesn’t matter where you come from what little you do or don’t have. If you work hard enough with drive anything is possible.

Of course none of our growth was ever possible over the years without you, our fans.

To any start up’s, businesses going through tough times, or hitting a wall just vision big, believe & never be afraid to be different with your creatives.

Anything is possible.

See you all at HOYS - Stand N40.

Much love.
