🐝🍃 What do we miss when we’re always rushing? 🍃🪲

Yesterday, while out walking with the ponies, we were reminded of the beauty that can be found when we slow our pace and truly notice the world around us.

As we wandered along, we spotted a little bee sitting in the middle of the road. A tiny life that could so easily have been overlooked. We carefully scooped him up and moved him somewhere safe to continue his day. A little later, we came across a stag beetle on the pavement, another wonderful reminder that we share our spaces with so many incredible creatures.

It got me thinking about how often we move through life at full speed, focused on where we’re going rather than what is happening around us. The horses are wonderful teachers of presence. They don’t rush. They notice. They pause. They experience the world exactly as it is in that moment.

When we slow down, we begin to see more. We notice the birdsong, the wildflowers, the buzzing bees, the insects under our feet, and the small opportunities we have to make a difference.

Sometimes caring for nature isn’t about grand gestures. Sometimes it’s simply taking a moment to move a bee from harm’s way, helping a beetle cross a path, or appreciating the life that exists all around us.

What have you noticed recently when you’ve taken the time to slow down and look a little closer? 🌿✨

Field Swap Day! 🌱🐴

One of the joys of managing a mixed herd is watching everyone’s personalities come out when it’s time for a field move!

This year we’ve managed to cut one of our hayfields already, which is almost unheard of for May. That meant it was time for a reshuffle. The horses who were up the road moved into the freshly cut hayfield, while one of the yard herds headed up the road to tidy up what had been left behind.

The thoroughbreds and bigger horses tend to be a little more selective with their grazing. They like their grass green and growing! Meanwhile, the others are much less fussy and are more than happy to hoover up the bits that have been overlooked, helping us make the most of every field.

Louie’s herd could barely contain their excitement as they charged into their new field. New grass, new smells, new places to explore – what’s not to love? 🐎💨

Meanwhile, Penny and Betsy’s herd took a much more sensible approach. They were clearly pleased with the move, but their excitement was expressed with a little more dignity and a lot less speed!

People often ask why horses get so excited when they move fields. Part of it is the opportunity to explore somewhere different. Horses are naturally curious animals, and a new field brings fresh scents, fresh grazing, and new things to investigate. It’s a bit like us arriving somewhere we’ve never been before and wanting to look around.

So, who do you think was most excited about their field swap today? The enthusiastic adventurers in Louie’s herd or the calm and collected members of Penny and Betsy’s herd? 🐴💚

Meet Bon 🤍

I’ve known Bon since she was just seven months old, freshly weaned and already full of personality. Now, at 16 years old, she has become the matriarch mare of the herd and one of my greatest teachers.

Although Bon officially became part of the herd seven years ago, I’ve really been part of her journey almost her entire life. When her owner discovered she had fused vertebrae in her neck, there were only two options given — come to me or be put to sleep. There was never any question in my mind. A horse I had loved and shared such a long journey with was always going to come home to the herd.

And what a journey it has been.

Bon is, without a doubt, me in horse form. Strong-willed, opinionated, determined, and very clear about what she wants. But beneath that strength is also softness, gentleness, and deep nurturing energy when it is needed most.

She has challenged me, reflected me, humbled me, and taught me more lessons than I could ever put into words. She has also guided many people who have met her along the way, often helping them see things within themselves they didn’t realise were there.

Bon leads her herd with honesty and presence. She reminds us all of the importance of boundaries, authenticity, and softness existing side by side.

I honestly cannot imagine this place, or my life, without her. 🤍
