Let’s talk saddles ……

Currently have an Envy Aurora which I really like however as Little Legs is turning into a chunk and Wills is his usual Peter Crouch-esque stature I need a second saddle.

I’m quite a traditionalist (old fashioned) so I’m unlikely to be swayed away from flocked….

As I cut down on teaching to focus on riding, it means I can press on with my judging portfolio.

Any BD venues, happy to write and then move on to sitting in

Anywhere else- happy to judge.

Please share and spread the word x

We all need to support our local venues. Especially those that run mid week.

If we don’t use them, we will lose them.

A really interesting listen, talking about perimenopause and menopause. Specifically the random symptoms it can produce, how to recognise them, how to be taken seriously by your doctors and also how to coach your clients when they may be having off moments.

Lovely write up for Bodhi at Northallerton Equestrian Centre and a sneaky mention for Wills at Sheepgate Equestrian 💜🦄💜🦄

At both Chard and Northallerton Equestrian, Silver riders Scarlett John and Lesley Wheatley struck gold! Winning their classes in style and qualifying for the Petplan Summer Area Festival Championships (01 – 05 October 2025).

As things are going to be changing at work shortly I have decided to cut down on teaching and riding to focus on my boys

Really wanting to push on with my judges portfolio as well.

Due to this I won’t be taking on any new clients and I will be reducing the days I will be available.

Any concerns, please give me a shout 💜🦄💜
