A lifestyle blog for the everyday equestrian
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! 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 …
