I just wanted to update everyone as we have been inundated with texts and messages.

Yesterday we went through labour, but didn’t get to bring our joy home. Our hearts are completely shattered and I’m mentally and physically exhausted. We got home earlier this afternoon as I had to be kept in due to low blood pressure and I lost quite a lot of blood.

I’ve been through some s**t in my life, I’ve experienced agonising pain, but this is something I never ever want to experience again. The ladies on the ward were incredible, they supported us from the moment we got to the ward and until we were discharged. They’ve given us a beautiful little memory box too, which will put our baby grow and comforter in. 👼

Adam, I didn’t think I could love you anymore. You stroked my hair, you held my hand, and you’ve been there every step of this with me. You have gone through this hell too, but you’ve made sure first that I am ok. You & my family are the reason I know I will be ok again.

Thank you to each and everyone person who’s reached out.

I’m going to spend some time recovering physically and mentally and I’ll be back soon ❤️‍🩹

My phone has blown up with concerned messages etc, so I thought I’d explain what’s been going on..

We were expecting our first baby..

Unfortunately 16 weeks in and our world has been shattered.

So please bear with me. If I’m slow responding, or I’m quieter than usual; I hope this explains why. I will have a small induced labour later this week or next.

I never really understood women who grieved someone they didn’t meet if that makes sense? Like I got it it, but I didn’t fully get it. Until now.

You fall in love from the minute you see that positive line.

As always I’ll pick myself back up from the floor and rebuild, as long as I have Adam & family by my side I know I’ll be ok 💕🤍 👼

This time last year I was at one of my fav show grounds.. I try to go to every event at Chepstow and every year.

Seeing everyone’s posts is giving me huge FOMO. 😢

I’ve not actually been to a show since October .. and haven’t actually been over a jump since either 😅 tbh I think I’ve forgotten how to ride let alone jump. 🫣

There’s quite alot going on behind closed doors at the moment, that in the next week or so when we get some more answers will be able to share and then hopefully it’ll all make sense as to why I’ve disappeared off the face of the earth. 🌎

The last few weeks have been nothing short of horrendous, and the horses have taken a huge step back. But like my mum keeps reminding me ..

Why does it matter? They’re happy, they’re fed and they’re truly loved 🥰 They owe me nothing. They will be here when I’ve come through the other side of what we’re dealing with at the moment and there’s always more shows later in the year!

Just remember “Believe in yourself and always know, beyond a shred of doubt, that you'll get through this.” 💪🏻

🗣 If we don’t speak up how do we get help? 🗣

I’m not embarrassed to say I have depression. I’m not embarrassed to admit I struggle daily with depression.

What is depression like? It’s like drowning, except everyone around you is breathing.

Depression is invisible.

They’re smiling, laughing, enjoying themselves - they can’t be depressed.

People think depression is sadness. People think depression is crying. People think depression is dressing in black. But people are wrong. Depression is the constant feeling of being numb. Being numb to emotions, being numb to life. You wake up in the morning just to go to bed again.

When you suffer from depression, ‘I’m tired‘ means a permanent state of exhaustion that sleep doesn’t fix. Sleep just isn’t sleep anymore—it’s escape.

The only thing more exhausting than being depressed is pretending that you’re not.

Mental health is just as important as someone's physical health - don’t judge someone .. just listen. Just listening can help someone who maybe struggling.

Be kind, you have no idea how someone is feeling. Someone who is depressed is very good at hiding the truth. ❤️

Be patient. Sometimes you have to go through the worst to get the best. ❣️

Who remembers baby Tino?

He’s not so baby anymore 🥹

He’s starting his big boy life off, and Marengo Equine Dental Services is doing an incredible job. I couldn’t have asked for a better start for my own homebred.

As you know Tinos mum holds a special place in my heart after nearly losing her, so my plan has been to keep Tino however I’m just not sure he’s going to be big enough! I’m praying that whilst he’s away at Emet’s that he may have a growth spurt 😅🙏🏻

Don’t give up when the road to recovery gets rough. Even if you hit rock bottom, you can find the bravery and perseverance to keep on going. You are more capable of this than you think. 💪🏻💪🏻

My special 2 boys - keeping me smiling 👯🧡

Have spent the last week sleeping and not really leaving the house and feeling very sorry for myself. Adam & my family have been my rocks during this time.

I will be returning to work Monday 7th and the 12th Easter Clinic will be going ahead 🐣

I will start over the weekend replying to messages etc, thank you everyone for your patience ❤️

Just wanted to pop back on to say thank you for the wonderful support. I will explain more when I feel like I can.

However, I received some beautiful flowers and chocolate today, but there’s no note 📝

So.. to whomever sent them.. thank you; they are truly appreciated and if it was you please let me know so I can say thank you privately.

I’m taking the rest of the week off work and my phone. I will start to respond towards the end of the week to everyone 💕

29/03/2025

After some devastating personal news, I am not working at the moment and will not be on my phone responding to messages just yet.

We will explain our news when we have had chance to get our own heads around it.

I just felt I needed to explain to clients etc that are messaging me expecting responses that for now you won’t receive one. When I am back up and running I will be in contact.

Thank you to the clients who have understood my reasoning to having to take time out and to my amazing family who have done nothing but hold me up during this time.

I’ll be back. As always I’ll get through yet another kick in the teeth. 💔

“Do you know why you keep going?” Asked the horse.

“Because you carry me” said the boy.
