Hello, and welcome back to the blog. It has been a while... yet again! Wow, how life gets in the way. I have recently been watching 'Free Rein' on Netflix and listening to Joanna Thurman-Baker and Evelina Shrieve's new podcast 'That's Lame' and it has made me reflect on where I am currently in respect …
Hello, and welcome back to the blog! Today I would like to share my intentions for 2023. I like to create intentions for all areas of my life; mind and spirit, physical, environmental, social, financial and vocational. However, for the purpose of this blog, I am going to focus on my equestrian goals. 2022 has …
Hello, and welcome back to the blog! Today I am sharing a little about the plans for the month of December with my young horse Bryni. Click here to see last month's plan. As I mentioned in The Monthly Muster: November post, things have been going well. I have been considering my own training as …
Hello, and welcome back to the blog! Today I am sharing my Monthly Muster for November- a roundup of how the month went in my training with Bryni. It has been such a quick month though I feel I've been productive with Bryni and found a system that works. Bryni is doing well at the …
Hello, and welcome back to the blog! Today I thought I would share an update on my youngster Bryni to detail where we are at and what I have learned from her so far. I bought my Welsh Section D filly on the 21st August this year, so I have had her for almost 3 …
Hello, and welcome back to the blog! I have an exciting post to share today... I got my new horse! She is just beautiful, inside and out and I can't wait for our journey together. I have wanted to buy another horse for quite a few years now but I was never in the position …
Hello and welcome back to the blog! Today I am writing an exciting post all about my new share horse- Echo. I have been so lucky to be able to find her and I already feel so much more like myself now that I am riding again. I am still trying to get into a …
Hello, and welcome back to the blog! Once again, things got busy and my blogging went out of the window, but that's ok. This move has been a huge transition for me and I am only starting to find my feet now. Things have moved along a little since I last posted. I still haven't …
Hello, and welcome back to the blog! It's been a minute since I wrote for BBequines but there has been so much going on in my life that I guess I didn't know what to say. Bo is retired now so I never had much to write about in that aspect, and because I knew …
Hello, and welcome back to the blog! Today I am going to share a little about a dream come true! For as long as I remember, I always wanted a photoshoot in my wedding dress with my horse. Actually, I envisioned myself riding down the aisle but when it came to the reality of planning …
Hello, and welcome back to the blog! Today I wanted to share some exciting news that has absolutely nothing to do with horses for a change; on Saturday 26th February 2022 I got married to the most wonderful man. My now husband and I were high school sweethearts and in May last year he proposed. …
Hello, and welcome back to the blog! I'm sat in bed with covid at the moment which is really not ideal given I am in the process of both planning my wedding and preparing to move to Australia. Really, my life in Scotland is down to a number of weeks remaining and I want to …
I remember seeing the No Stirrups November challenge last year but I didn't take part. This year, I remembered on time and so I have decided I would like to give it a go. I have decided to challenge myself to ride 10 times (at least) throughout November with no stirrups. The main reason I …
When I took on a Highland pony a few months back, the opportunity to share Bo came up. I thought at the time it would be a useful thing to do both because I had another horse to ride and because my fiancé and I are planning to emigrate and so having someone set up …
I’ve taken a little break from blogging and pretty much everything to do with social media recently. I can’t even put a finger on why. I guess when I returned back to school for my NQT (newly qualified teacher) year, things have just been busy and a little all over the place. I gave Ghillie …
Yesterday was such a fun- filled day because Bo and I went to our first ever cross country training hire! It sounds funny saying that since I have had Bo for around 9 years and this is just us doing our first one, but there is reason for that. Anyway, my friend and I had …
As you may have seen on my last Instagram post here or on my last blog post (which you can find here) I’ve just started loaning Ghillie- an oversized yellow sun highland. I haven’t actually managed to spend too much time with him yet because the week he arrived he had to quarantine in a …
What a strange week last week was! I'm a bit of a planner (being a teacher and all) and so I often plan out my week in advance so I know what I'm doing when. Viewing a horse was not part of any plan I had. The week before last, a livery at my yard …
Yesterday I had the most magical day. My friend booked us a 6 hour ride at Highlands Unbridled (you can find their website here) where we went out for a long ride across rugged terrain from woodland to tackling a 525 metre hill called Carnferg. The views from the top were absolutely breath taking. It …
Usually, I like to post some form of informative post on my blog but this week I felt inspired to talk about a day I had as it really provoked some deep thoughts and feelings in me. At the weekend, I went with my friend to visit a yard 2 hours away as she is …
