Absolutely useless at keeping this page updated!
Very busy fitting everything in with work elmo and doing some socialising!

I’ve recently moved yards and absolutely loving the hacking. Miles of bridleways and lanes which is amazing.
Elmo is looking and feeling great but may have to clip him again as this heat is insane (about time!) and even his summer coat is quite thick..

evenings consist of balancing paper work / organisation and balancing normal life stuff which isn’t always easy but it’s all worth while in the end.

Lots of the horses I look after have been out and about the last few weeks and all doing really well which is lovely to see. The young ones are making fab progress too.

Lots of bathing and tidying this time of year.
I’ve spent hours pressure washing stables and various things but really enjoy seeing the results when it’s all done. It’s the little things!

The next few weeks are full with various holiday cover booked in but feel free to message me and if I can get you booked in I will.

Enjoy the sun and stay hydrated! 🌞 🥤 xx

A few photos from the last couple of weeks.
Thank goodness for sunshine and bath times! I love this time of year, washing away the winter blues 🌞 roll on summer. I’m already sun burnt… 🫣

Super duper baby ponies today 🤩😇

Merry Christmas and a happy new year to all my clients old and new! Hope you have the best time.

It’s been another busy but brilliant year and can’t quite believe we are here again already!

This year has also brought some challenges as I’m sure it has for many of you, Elmo had surgery in March so it’s been a bit of an emotional rollercoaster but seems to be fighting fit again after months of rehab. I have so many of you to thank for your love and support through it all. As always a bit shout out to my lovely friend and trainer Lucy!

We will be missing loved ones around the table this year but they will be in our thoughts 🪽

After what happened last week in bishops Waltham it’s really hit home you need to hug your loved ones tight and make the most of every minute you have with them. Live to make memories 🩷

If anyone is struggling now or anytime my door is always open please reach out.

See you in 2024 (or some of you before!)
I will try and be better at updating my page next year 🤣

I hope you get all that you wish for now and always!

Here is the lovely Tabby and Woody really getting into the Christmas spirit for their lesson 🤩

Enjoying a little holiday this week with my beautiful sister, will get back to everyone when I am home 🙂

17/09/2023

It’s been a busy time with lots of holiday cover as well as my regular yards and horses. I have loved being out in the well needed sunshine. It’s that time of year where the crisp clear mornings are coming and I get a massive sense of pride and love for my job. Each day is enjoyable but sometimes it’s those quiet mornings that really give you the space to reflect.

Last week I had 2 lovely horses that I’ve looked after a number of times whilst their owner has a little holiday. They are both gentle giants and such a pleasure to look after 🥰

All my regulars have been on best behaviour and some of the show jumpers have been out and about competing.

The young horses are getting stronger and braver

If you are thinking of getting in a sunny holiday before the hard winter give me a message and I will be happy to help with daily care and or exercising.

I am super busy with my regular clients but always worth giving me a message as if I can squeeze you in for training / riding then I will do my best to help.

Hope everyone had a lovely weekend. Nearly time for an early night to prepare for the week ahead.

⚠️ LAMINITIS WARNING ⚠️

🌦️ The continued rainfall and warm conditions promote the ideal environment for grass growth 🌱

🐎 Laminitis can cause extreme pain, lameness and permanent damage to the hooves. Being aware of the more subtle signs of laminitis can help you act faster, resulting in more efficient diagnosis and treatment.

👀 Be extra vigilant with horses and ponies with metabolic conditions and those who are overweight, as this puts them at a greater risk of laminitis.

🔎 Just because a horse hasn’t had laminitis before doesn’t mean they can’t get it.

For more information visit 👉 https://www.bhs.org.uk/horse-care-and-welfare/health-care-management/horse-health/equine-diseases/laminitis/

These guys deserve duo of the month! What an absolutely lovely team they make 🥰 I’ve loved helping them work through ups and downs (including trot diagonals) highs and lows!

We have had confidence losses from falls and self pressure. But the love, smiles and absolute sense of achievement that shines in our lessons now because of their hard work and dedication is the reason we spent hours in the rain and wind, sunshine and some sand 🤣 well done! 💪

Emily has come on so much not only in her overall riding and understanding of aids and timings but her outlook on riding and confidence. They are bloomin amazing!

They love the bones off of each other and it makes my heart happy to get messages like the one I did last week.

Also great advertisement for matchy matchy 🐎🤗

Keep up the good work. And for anyone struggling with confidence or coordination you will get there! X

As always I’ve been useless at updating my page.. it’s been a busy week back after a crazy weekend of playing motorbikes!
Here are a few photos from this week. A random cat that decided to climb in my car that I had to tempt out with a schooling whip 🤣 little Raffa pup 🐶
The lovely Indy had a mane tidy as he was looking a bit wild 😛

Nocky had some tlc and lots of kisses as always, he’s growing and getting so much stronger now it’s lovely to see.
Carlo and Miriam also went to the new forest show on Tuesday coming home with a win! Massive well done to them as Carlo hasn’t been the easiest of horses.
I love seeing the horses I look after out and about achieving things no matter what level or discipline.
I hope everyone has a lovely weekend, I’m going to have an early night 😴

Another busy week this week. Feels like it’s flown by after my holiday last week. Elmos been rocking his pink. Not many photos from work this week so as always he’s the face of my social media 🥰 xx

🌞Some availability from 26th June. 🌞

A couple of regular slots have come available due to yards being quieter as horses living out. Ideally looking for bishops Waltham direction as will fit in around current clients.

Happy to ride / teach / general yard work.
Happy poo picking / ragwort.

If the yard could do with a spring / summer clean I am happy to w**d / paint / pressure wash. Cut grass strim etc.

Hardworking, good time management and happy doing any tasks which is hard to find.

Message me for prices and time slots I have available.

Please note I have no early mornings or put to bed times free.. I know these are in high demand but late mornings / lunch slots I can be just as useful !

Feel free to PM or call me on 07401275454

Massive well done to Sarah and Ellie, I have been teaching Sarah once a week for a long time and they both work so hard to get the results. E-riders is a great way to set goals without the additional pressure of a day out at a show.
Well done xx

🥰 Well done Sarah & Ellie! 🥰

"I just wanted to message you and say a huge thank you for all you do for Eriders. I really enjoy and look forward taking part each month!

My pony had a bout of laminitis late summer 2021, I was gutted I’ve always been so careful with her management and at one point we didn’t think she would ever be ridden again. It was hard work but with the help and support of my vet and farrier, just before Christmas that year, she was able to start working again and so to give us something to aim for we started to do the E-Riders tests.

I didn’t really expect to get placed but we were and then to have then qualified for the summer and winter championships and to finish the winter league as reserve champion was just the icing on the cake.

Attached is a photo of Follywood Mae Queen (aka Ellie) with all her E-Riders ribbons from 2022. She will be 29 in a couple of days and is still loving life. It’s lovely to see so many 20+ horses and ponies competing.

Thank you again for all your hard work, it really is appreciated."

This morning 🐴🌞

11/02/2023

Hey all.
Just to give you the heads up I am away on holiday next week (off to Berlin with a group of friends)
I will get back to any messages and send times for the following week on my return :)
I am confident I have told all my regular clients but currently trying to do 100 things at once (as always)
Hope you and your equines have a lovely week
🥰🐴

Happy new year to everyone I know and love!

It’s definitely been one of ups and downs with the horses (cough cough Elmo) but isn’t it always!

Thank you for your continuous support from all the lovely people I work for and have worked for in the past. I am extremely busy at the moment but if you need anything in the new year give me a shout and I will do my best to help 🙂

Have a good one and party hard! Enjoy a day with your ponies and hug them extra tight ###

Could I please remind people to get invoices paid, I have a few that are outstanding by a considerable about of time. It takes more time than I have to keep going back through weeks of backdated invoices and bank statements.

Paper work isnt the best part of having my own business but it does have to be done. I would really rather keep it to the minimum though. Ideally not what I want to be doing on a Sunday afternoon..

Less time doing paper work is more time with the horses!

Don’t like to moan on here but sometimes reminders are needed.

Thank you, and thank you to all those that pay promptly. 🐴

Things are manic at the moment. Pretty much every hour of everyday full!

Delighted to say that Elmo is being brought back into work! Absolutely thrilled to start some walk work with him, the challange is to find day light without rush hour traffic.. not so easy when you have filled your day up with work to pay for the little buggers vet visits and rehab..

I have some lovely young horses at the moment and some really nice yard work where I work with a team.
I really enjoy these ones as I work solo most of the time so it’s a nice change 🌲🌼

I haven’t been too active on my social media pages as I am trying to have my time at home as down time not always playing catch up and doing bits of paper work.. I don’t tend to stop for lunch (normally a driving lunch) so don’t have loads of time but do try and take photos when I can!

Hope you are all smiley and enjoying this lovely sunshine xx

10 hours so far today with 10 min break (driving snack break) that’s without doing mine 🥱

Video of Rocky because he’s cute 🥰 xx

Eddie wasn’t quite ready to start work yesterday morning 😅🤷‍♀️

20/09/2022

Currently having a short break in Crete getting some sunshine in prep for what’s to come at home!

It’s been a busy few months with loads of holiday cover as well as looking after and riding all my regulars. I love every minute of being flat out busy but did feel it was time for a break. Very last minute but I feel well deserved!

I will get back to everyone week of 26th when I am back to work mode xx
