Even when I was away in the USA I couldn’t resist promoting the British Horseback Archery Association merchandise 😆

A pretty clever way of showing how waterproof and decent it is, if you ask me 😉

Hey everyone 👋🏻

I’ve been loving catching up with some old students and meeting lots of new ones at the same time! I’m aware I don’t post on here that much and for that i’ld like to apologise (I am however very active on TikTok with the ponies growing their own fan base🤭), it gets a bit hard trying to balance work, personal life, keeping the horses fit and everything else that gets thrown into the chaotic mix that is my life!

I promise I’m still very much teaching and still taking books, I’m just behind the scenes a little bit more working on some very EXCITING projects. My hands are tied with what I’m allowed to say so there’s not too much of an update for now but I’m hoping to be able to share more with you all in the next few weeks/months!!!! ❤️

I am away travelling a fair bit over the next few weeks, even as I write this I’m currently sat in the Netherlands! Please please get in touch with me if you would like to book a lesson as availability is getting low!

For now, here’s a video of princess JLo showing everyone what a big girl she is 🩷

Maybe you’re hard on yourself because you keep raising the bar of where you want to be 🥷 I’m my own worst enemy and incredibly harsh on myself when I make any type of mistake. But someone reminded me recently that I’m where I dreamed off being 5 years ago - strong and well enough to ride again, happy in a saddle and getting to create memories again with my horses 🥰

Not only was I representing Essex at Nationals, I was also joined by Aaron, one of my lovely students! It’s the first time I’ve had a student at Nationals and wow what a performance Aaron and Jack put on together!! Jack has never walked down a track so beautifully before and Aaron’s shooting was top draw 👌🏻

Aaron took 3rd place overall in the Walk Championships 🤩👏🏻

Aaron has worked so hard over the last few months fine tuning his nocking and getting used to Mr Speedy Pants. It was so lovely watching the pair of them 🥰

My goal for next year is to have more of my lovely students join us!!

Realised that I’m a bit behind on the socials 🙈

My life has only somehow gotten more chaotic and social media fell to the side a little but I’m going to do myself a promise and try to update at least a few times a week 😆

Jack and I came back from the Nationals with a solid 8th place in the Senior Category and 13th overall! 🤩

We had to have our typical coffee break pre competition 🤣

I was very pleased with how well Jack behaved and how lovely he was running. He was pulling up so beautifully and I really couldn’t be happier. It was so wonderful catching up with old friends and meeting new 😁

In the lead up to Nationals, I made some bold decisions and swapped up our tack a bit. Some may remember Jack used to be in a grackle and a Dutch gag with a martingale when we first started out together 3 years ago. He was an incredibly strong boy. After mum, Lewis and I spending months working with him in the school, I realised we could possibly get rid of the martingale. The martingale came off and then I thought that there was no reason he couldn’t go back to being in a full cheek bit. I’m a big believer to up the bits strength where applicable but riding in a Dutch gag on a snaffle ring seemed a bit daft. Once Jack was starting to chill out a bit more I then decided to swap him back to a cavesson noseband and I haven’t looked back!! Been the best move for the pair of us and I think it makes him look even more handsome 🙈

Sometimes horses are a learning curve, you grow and learn together!!! Jacks happier since it’s been done and moving forward it’ll be our to go too 😁

Jack and I are currently away at the British Horseback Archery Association National Championship 🤩 He is running on top form 🔥 I’m very happy with our ranking from our first day competing 😁

It’s okay Mav, you can lay on my freshly fletched arrows 🤦‍♀️😂

You know it’s a great day when there’s a Costa coffee right next door to your hotel 😂

I don’t always spend my time around horses 🤭 Sometimes I enjoy disappearing off to a mountain and taking a bit of me time! I was already in Wales to see Wolfie who very kindly fixed my bow for me, so I took the opportunity to have a lovely, quick solo hike up Pen Y Fan. Up and down in 1 hour and 25 mins 🤩
