My little gem 'Music'

She’s cheeky and strong, both fierce and kind,
A clever spark with her own mind.
Through every game, she keeps me whole—
Back in the saddle, eyes on the goal.

Agile and fast, with a heart so true,
She gets me out of every stew.
Highly strung, yet safe and sound,
My anchor when the world spins round.

She’s grace and grit in perfect tune—
My Music, my wings, my polocrosse moon.

🐎 When the body can’t keep up, but the heart is still in the saddle…

She no longer gallops across open fields, no longer soars over jumps like she once did. Her knees ache, her hands have lost the strength that once held the reins like a whisper of wind. But the passion — it hasn’t faded. Quite the opposite.

Every morning, she walks slowly to the stable. No rush. He’s there waiting — that same gaze, soft, deep, familiar. The horse lowers his head, touching her wrinkled hand as if to say: “I remember every step. And I’ve been waiting.”

She doesn’t race anymore, doesn’t fly with the wind. But every time her fingers brush through his mane — she’s twenty again inside. And every wrinkle on her face holds a story of friendship, trust, and an unbreakable love for horses.

Because a true rider never ages out of who they are. They simply change pace.
And even when the saddle becomes a memory,
the stable remains home.
And the horse — a friend who never leaves. 🖤

A little different....

ATTENTION !!! ART LOVERS (or people with blank walls they need to fill)!!! 🎨✨

I’m clearing out some of my exclusive, one-of-a-kind, possibly award-winning (if my mum was the judge) acrylic paintings! 🖼️

Sizes are 30x30cm and 20x20cm—aka perfect for small spaces, awkward nooks, or impressing guests with your refined taste.

All I ask is a small donation to cover materials (aka, so I can buy more paint and keep my creative genius flowing). You can pick it up or I can drop it off when I see you next!

Some of my best friends already own a piece—whether they wanted to or not. 😆 Now it's your turn!

PM me if you’re keen before my little dog decides they belong to her. 😆"
