I did say I would keep you all updated on my new ex-racer, Mr G, who I was more or less gifted.

So, here's where we are...

Mr G hasn't been in consistent work, and on assessment I could see several areas where I would like him to build more muscle before asking too much of him. It simply isn't fair to ask a horse to perform movements that their body isn't yet physically capable of supporting.

For that reason, I've chosen to build him from the ground up. My goal is to give him the strongest frame possible and a solid foundation before I climb aboard and start asking for more.

As he is my horse, I have all the time in the world for him. There is no rush.

Rome wasn't built in a day, and horses shouldn't be expected to be either.

Strong bodies create sound horses, and sound horses stay in work longer. ❤️

That's Hudson home. ❤️

To see Hudson flourish into the horse he is today has been incredible, but seeing just how much it meant to his owner was everything, it left my heart feeling full.

I can't help but feel a huge sense of pride when these horses leave for their next chapter. We pour our hearts into every horse and the emotional when they leave is real, they are not just "the next horse" each and everyone leave a print on you in some profound way 🩷

Hudson you have taught me so much and pushed me to explore new training methods . Terena Bolam I wish you all the luck in the world 🌎 ❤️

OH MY GOD... I honestly can't believe I'm writing this! 🤯❤️

I have been nominated !!!!!

This means the absolute world to me.
I can't thank Equestrian Business Awards enough for this recognition. To even be considered is something I never imagined when I first started out, grafting away day after day, trying to build a name for myself and create something I could be proud of.

This isn't just a job to us. It never has been.
Every horse that comes through our gates gets absolutely everything we've got. The early mornings, the late nights, the worry, the problem-solving, the celebrations, the setbacks and the successes... it's all done because we genuinely care.

Our horses aren't numbers. They are at the heart of everything we do.

To be recognised for something that is so deeply embedded in who I am feels incredibly special. I feel truly blessed and so grateful to every single owner who has trusted me with their horses over the years.

Thank you for believing in me, supporting my journey and allowing me to do what I love every single day.

I'm still pinching myself. ❤️

Hettie

Taking it all in 🚜

It's vital that horses experience as much of the world as possible during their early training.
I don't believe that simply backing a horse and riding endless circles in a school produces a well-rounded horse that can confidently go anywhere and deal with whatever is put in front of them.

A horse's education should extend far beyond the arena.

They need to see livestock, machinery, traffic, puddles, open spaces, different surfaces, new environments, and the unexpected things that life will inevitably throw at them.

That's how confidence is built.

Not by protecting them from the world, but by carefully introducing them to it and teaching them how to think their way through it.

At our yard, being on a working farm gives horses the opportunity to experience real life every single day. We don't just train horses to work in an arena; we train horses to cope with the real world.

Because when the day comes that you're out hacking, competing, hunting, or simply enjoying your horse, that's when their education really matters. 🐴❤️

If you'd told 14-year-old Tash what she'd be doing now, she would never have believed you.

Yet here we are.

A yard full of horses, a business that continues to grow, and every day doing what I've always loved most.

There have been plenty of challenges, setbacks, and moments where I wondered if I'd ever get here. But every horse that comes through the gate, every owner who trusts us, and every success story reminds me why I started.

I still have to pinch myself some days.

Feeling incredibly grateful, humbled, and blessed for the support of our clients, friends, and everyone who has believed in what we do. ❤️

Here's to the horses, the hard work, and the dream that never went away. ✨🐴
