I really am struggling to know where to begin this time, but I know that in order to deal with this, I need to write it all down, I need it to become a part of our lives and not something I'm scared of talking about. On August 12th, I took two pregnancy tests -... Continue Reading →
Having a baby and that mum juggle… the things they don’t tell you!
Whether you have kids or not, the juggle of hobbies/work/social life/love life/showering/etc. is a challenge in itself.

Hello and welcome back
Have you missed me...?! Can you believe it's been almost 6 month since I came on here with an update?

Autumn Tip Tuesday: What’s wrong with you you pesky camel?
So, last night I laid in bed formulating a plan with military precision. I had ridden my new/old horse Pea on a hack earlier and whilst this little horse is fun, safe and brilliant in every way, she has a seriously frustrating guilty pleasure. She LOVES to impersonate a camel in her spare time. She... Continue Reading →

Good day one and all. It is 2018 and I am one week into a very slow, sober, DRY January! It's not as easy as I thought and my real motivation for doing it was to lose some weight. I have been eating like a squirrel and not a drop of the good stuff has... Continue Reading →

I’ve only gone and done it!!!
Well that's is... My feet are wet, I've jumped in with them both! In actual fact, it's not my feet that are wet, it's my palms and my forehead, I'm sat at my desk looking at last years course photos, already choosing the one I might die at. With any luck I'll get balloted anyway... Continue Reading →
Give me a hand out of this hole will you?!
So, a bit of a sorry state of affairs after my run of cast iron balls activities. First off, I was massively on the up after my ‘mock hunting’ experience so thought this would make day to day riding, clinics and popping a small fence in the school a doddle. With the right mind set,... Continue Reading →
