Owning a horse is so much more than riding.

It’s waking up early when you’d rather stay in bed, checking their legs in the rain, carrying hay when your back already hurts, cleaning tack when you’re exhausted, and doing all the little things because you know they depend on you.

Some of the most meaningful moments with your horse don’t happen in the saddle.

They happen in the quiet moments — brushing the mud off their coat, scratching that one spot they love, or standing beside them at the end of a long day, listening to them breathe.

Meet Solomon – our dressage competitor turned school horse! 🐴❤️

Solomon only recently joined our school horse team after retiring from his dressage competition career last year, and we have to say, he has slipped into his new job remarkably easily.

These days, Solomon has two very different modes – School Horse Solomon and Dressage Horse Solomon!

For riders who are newer to riding or don't have a lot of experience, Solomon is more than happy to take things slowly. He'll happily plod along at a comfortable pace and give his riders the time they need to learn, build confidence and find their balance.

But for our more experienced riders who want to test their dressage skills, there's another Solomon waiting underneath! Ask him the right questions and he can crank it up into dressage mode, showing that even though he's retired from competition, he certainly hasn't forgotten the movements and skills he developed throughout his career.

What we love most about Solomon is just how sweet he is. He's a big softy who absolutely loves attention, cuddles and being made a fuss of. And if there's a treat waiting at the end of his lesson, you've definitely got his attention!

Having a horse like Solomon in our school team is really special. He can meet riders where they're at, whether they're still learning the basics or they're ready to challenge themselves and experience what a well-trained dressage horse can really do.

✨ Term 4 bookings are now open! If you're looking for a horse who can help you build confidence, improve your riding and, when you're ready, show you what dressage feels like, Solomon could be the perfect match.

We're really enjoying watching Solomon settle into this new chapter of his life. He's still got plenty to teach, and we're very lucky that he's now able to share all that experience with our riders. ❤️

Meet Roxie – one of our longest-serving school horses and a mare with plenty of personality! ❤️🐴

Roxie has been part of our school horse team for more than 8 years, and in that time she has helped countless riders learn, grow in confidence and develop their skills. But Roxie certainly hasn't lost her spark along the way!

She came to us with plenty of experience already behind her, having been trained through the Pony Club levels and competing up to Grade 3 dressage and Grade 4 eventing. Over the years, she has continued to add to that experience through her work as a school horse, giving her an incredible depth of knowledge to share with her riders.

What we love most about Roxie is that she has never become one of those school horses who simply switches off and goes around on autopilot. She has kept her sassy spark, her responsiveness and her big personality. Roxie knows her job very well, but she also expects her riders to be involved and to actually ride her!

She's suitable for beginners through to confident riders and is particularly fantastic for more experienced, independent riders who are ready to refine their riding and develop a better connection with their horse. She's also brilliant for lunge lessons, allowing riders to focus on their balance, position and feel.

After more than 8 years as part of our school team, Roxie has become one of those horses we know we can rely on. She has seen riders start from the very beginning and grow into confident, capable horse people, and there's something really special about seeing a horse like Roxie be part of that journey.

She has a big personality, a little bit of sass and absolutely no intention of becoming boring! 😂 And honestly, we wouldn't have her any other way.

My Musing for Today...

Birthdays are wonderful things. They’re the one day of the year that is truly ours, yet they’re also about others who have been part of the journey.

They give us a reason to reach out. To send the text. To make the call. To stop for a moment and connect in a way we often mean to, but don’t always manage in the rush of everyday life.

Last night, with another dear friend, I had the honour of celebrating my longest friend’s birthday. Fifty years of friendship between us. That is no small thing.

Fifty years of stories, laughter, change, shared history and simply knowing each other. The older I get, the more I realise how rare and precious that is. Time is a privilege. Depth is a privilege. Friendship is a privilege.

So, over an amazing Japanese meal, some lovely sake and a green tea to finish, we did just that. We celebrated her. We celebrated the years. We celebrated the gift of still being in each other’s lives.

And really, isn’t that what birthdays are about? Not just another year older, but another chance to be grateful for the people who have walked beside us, stayed with us, and helped make life what it is.

Good night friends..

Todays Musing

Today our new office cat arrived.

It has taken me a little while to get to this point. The sudden loss of our beautiful Sebastion really knocked me around. I went through so many of the emotions that come with grief. It felt unfair. I wondered if I had missed something. He was too young.

When loss does not come from old age, I think our minds naturally try to make sense of it. We search for the why. We look for answers. But sometimes, there simply is not an answer that will ever feel enough.

Then there are the well meaning questions.

“When are you getting another cat?”

“When are you replacing Sebastion?”

That word, replace, is a hard one. Because it is not possible. We do not replace the ones we love. They keep their place. Always. That place belongs to them, and nothing can take it away from us.

But what we can do is open our hearts again. We can care again. We can love again. Not instead of the one we lost, but because love has a way of making room.

And somewhere out there was another cat who needed a place, a people, and a little bit of love too.

Apparently there were hundreds of applicants, yet somehow the circle kept coming back to us. And today, it happened.

Please meet Benjamin.

We are all very happy to welcome him. There have already been antics, laughter and that lovely little shift in energy that animals seem to bring with them.

Sebastion will always be part of our story. And now Benjamin begins his own chapter with us.

We very much look forward to the journey ahead.

Apparently, he saw a bird in the tree outside. 🤣

Goodnight friends!
