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 …
Big Moves
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 …
Pony Ponderings about Passion
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 …
No Stirrups November- Challenge Accepted
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 …

Cross Country Training
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 …
Our First Ride
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 …
The Welsh Section D
My horse, Bo, is a Welsh Section D and over the years I have come to know the breed very well and I would say that it is my favourite of all. So in this post, I am going to explain 5 reasons for why I think Welsh Section D’s are the best horses ever! …
How to make the most out of schooling sessions?
No matter what discipline you do with your horse, schooling is so important to build the connection between horse and rider. Even if you are just a happy hacker, a little schooling session now and again can really improve the quality of your rides. It’s important that you get the most out of your schooling …
