Buck 💕
He is such a gem, never puts a foot wrong and is simply the best 💕
Buck being the absolute sweetheart he is 💕 glad that his leg has healed up so beautifully and that he can start doing the fun stuff now 🥰
Billie /Abiding loving his massage from @congaree.equine 🥰 Bianca is so patient with him and his little quirks and only wants the best for the horses she treats, if you feel your horses have been working hard why not treat them 🥹🥰

I have this weird stress about riding in this arena (not a clue where it stems from) so I finally went in there and Billie was super, I’ve only taken him in there a few times and he has never disappointed, and to even pop over some little fences was everything 🥰 so thankful and lucky for this amazing horse 😇 #5yo #OTTB @first_light_racing @rv_offthetrack
First jump for Billie today, what a cruisey fella I’m so excited for our future 🥰

@congaree.equine giving Billie his regular massages to ensure he is on track, feeling well and making me aware of his tight and weak spots.
Bianca spends valuable time working with a horse like Billie whom is quite a challenge as he is so inquisitive 🧐 she has incredible patience and is invested in the horses progression.
Go follow @congaree.equine and be sure to send her a message whenever your horse is feeling a little stuck 🥰
@rv_offthetrack @first_light_racing only the best for this 2021 retired racehorse ‘Abiding’ 🥰
Last week was tough, not like every week offers it challenges but this one was different. Physically and mentally straining on a body that already yearns for a break. Riding for a living is a dream, a getaway every single time I put my foot in the stirrup. But man can it go south fast.
Mentally I’m quite strong when it comes to falls and mishaps but last week was different, last week I gave up and couldn’t do it. I rode and rode until I got home and exhaustingly shut down.
For the first time yesterday I spent quality time with my own horses, I took away the clock and shut out the world and took every moment in. I spent time brushing them, hugging them and appreciating the small things. If I hadn’t of done that yesterday I wouldn’t have loved the first horse of the morning today. I wouldn’t have been excited for each and every horse I rode today. Because two days ago, I was scared. Scared of how much my body was bruised, scared of how damaged my mindset and mentality was and scared of how others would think of me.
Life really did knock me on my knees last week and said ‘slow down, enjoy every little moment before you have no seconds left’
The clothes I’m wearing were those that were worn the few days that I wanted to give up. The @hlhequestrianapparel long sleeves covered me in bruises rather than cuts, the @qjridingwear compression Harper tights kept my legs from swelling. Every piece of clothing I ever wear, always counts towards protecting my body.
Take every moment and learn from it. Everything happens for a reason and we are all here to live our best lives.
I’m so in love with how friendly this boy is, it’s always a dream come true when a horse genuinely just always wants to be with you.
Love your horse for who they are 💕
Never overthink a situation. Take small steps to creating big things. Never have too big of expectations but never, ever stop dreaming. 💕

First day in work, surely I’d just lunge him 😂 I ask lachie to swing me up and this amazing 5yo was picture perfect.
So excited for our journey 💕

☘️ Carlo Bugatti schooling at tonimbuk today 💕
So thankful for this horses heart of gold, I rode shockingly and he was like ‘alright I’ll just wait here while you figure yaself gurl’ 😂
Felt really good by the end of the lesson and feeling much more confident for next weekend! Getting back on track 😇
Teddy updates are the best updates am i right? So happy with how his attitude has changed and can't wait to get him out and about. Absolute definition of Pocket Rocket.
Sh*t i say when around the horses
Just reminding everyone i'm still here, even if no horses are being ridden there's always entertainment to be watching... even if that does include me eep
Such a confident little mare! Love her progression! Well done to Tash voss... have to take her out to a SJ comp!
Gorgeous young mare this evening owned by Tash Voss. Her third Jump school, such a gem.
