“Here’s to a new chapter” Let me introduce the newest member of our little family…. This is Scout, he is a 10 month old , Fox Hound. We’ve spent the last few weeks spending time with him & letting him get to know us & the girls before we finally brought him home from the rescue yesterday. He’s settled in so well & the girls seem to be very happy with their new friend. It’s definitely strange having another male dog who isn’t my little Tigs but I know he would be pleased that we have given another rescue the chance of a loving family like we did with him all those years ago! Now for the fun part of having a bounding puppy about the place who is all legs & ears ❤️ #foxhound #rescuedog #puppy #adoptdontshop

ᴛʜᴇ ɢʀᴇᴀᴛᴇꜱᴛ ᴀᴅᴠᴇɴᴛᴜʀᴇ ɪꜱ ᴡʜᴀᴛ ʟɪᴇꜱ ᴀʜᴇᴀᴅ💕 I’ve been quiet on here for a number of reasons but all will become clear in hopefully a few weeks time 🤞🏻 But for now here is 2 little life updates in the mean time… 1️⃣ Last week I officially started my new role at work after the restructure. It’s a big change, currently everyone is getting to grips with the new teams & ways of working. In the restructure I ended up in a whole new team, with a completely different job & a new line manager but I am super excited to get my teeth into something new. & as much as I’m sad about not having my old line manager I’m overly pleased with my new one as we have worked together since I started & I know I’m in very safe hands🫶🏻 2️⃣ Area Festivals is less than 11 days away & with the next bloody heatwave rearing it’s ugly head I’m feeling a little under prepared. I had planned to head to Dressage this weekend to run through both tests but that feels like it won’t happen so the plan for these next 10 days. A couple of lessons with the incredible Beth, practice our mediums & work on the no stirrups to help my own position. Then it will be what it will be. There is no point in putting pressure on ourselves as the main thing we want to do is enjoy & have fun. But seriously I will NEVER complain about a typical British summer again after the year we are having ! I just want to get out & enjoy my pony properly without feeling like we are in the Sahara desert 🏜 I also feel like I’ve been very absent with scrolling socials & keeping up with everyone so I would love to hear about your wins in the comments from the past month big or small👇🏻 #whatmakesyouhappy #irishdraught #equinelove #lifeupdate #horsesofinstagram #equinereels

Not quiet the update I wanted to give on Molly 😢 Despite going out okay Thursday night after box rest this is how she came in Friday night ! Thankfully my incredible vet was on the phone & antibiotics & painkillers where the action to take as well as cold hosing twice a day 🚿 Today she is very stiff in general which we are hoping is from her compensating but she is slightly less lame & is more comfortable so we have chosen to turn out tonight after being box rested since last night in the hope that moving around will help the stiffness & the painkillers will help if it’s a bit sore still. Fingers crossed in the next few days she will be sound enough & comfortable enough to begin her walk work rehab 🤞🏻 #onestepforwardtwostepsback #equinerehab #roadtorecoveryisnevereasy #irishdraught #equinearthritis

“Do you remember the moment you discovered the most expensive addiction in the world 🐴” I was about 7 years old on a pony ride in the New Forest on holiday visiting my Dad’s sister. I remember the little pony distinctly a 13hh dark bay called Roo. I was hooked & was lucky enough to get riding lessons a few months later. It wasn’t until I was 12 years old when I finally got to own my very own pony Brogan. I’m working livery at a local riding school. It was then I realised just how expensive the sport was & that if I ever wanted to afford it on my own I needed to work hard in school to get a good job to finance it! 💵 Thankfully my parents supported me as best as they could & now I’m so deep in my addiction that I think if I ever told my friends I was quitting the sport they would laugh in my face 🤪 I’d love to hear how you all got into horses! Was it through family ? Family friends? A quick pony ride ? Let me know in the comments 👇🏻 #irishdraught #equestrianlife #equinesofinstagram #equinewayoflife

Well what a glow up 😍 The first clip was taken on the 26 February 2021. The second was taken 18 January 2022 The first clip was taken a month after Molly had properly started her rehab, she was fat, hairy & displaying signs of being generally uncomfortable after all the stress from her coffin joint diagnosis. However not wanting to put her through more stress of more medical procedures… We made the decision to overhaul her diet. Since then she has been fed on the following & my god I mean tell me she isn’t looking FINE !! (She’s certainly feeling good I know that) 🥵 Dengie Horse Feeds Hi-Fi Molasses Free SPILLERS Pro - Performance Balancer Premier Performance CZ GastroPremier Sassy Mare Joint Prem Daily This combination of incredible high quality research led supplements & amazing feeds has had a huge impact on Molly. She is now looking fit, healthy & the most important thing HAPPY. Never be afraid to change things! If something isn’t working don’t just do what you’ve always done as that’s just going to get the same results. Seek help & guidance from the right resources to get the best for your horse wether that’s feed or something else. I have personally spoken to all these companies mentioned above & my vet to come up with this plan for Molly. & each one of them couldn’t have been more helpful & understanding 👏🏻 #poweredbypremierperformancecz #fedondengie #irishdraught #dressagehorse #horseglowup
