Hey guys! 🤎✨

What a year 2025 has been!
I feel so blessed to have shared so many special moments with you and your wonderful ponies and horses. Watching you grow, overcome challenges, celebrate milestones, and exceed your own expectations has been such a privilege 🥰🦄

This year has taught me so much. I’ve invested heavily in my own hands-on training and education, and just like all of you, I’m out there learning and growing every day. That shared journey is truly what helps me relate to you all - cause I get it! 🙌

From 1st January 2026, there will be a small price increase of £3.50 per session. Thank you for supporting both the business and my growth as a trainer 💛

A gentle reminder of the 24-hour cancellation policy:
Cancellations made within 24 hours will incur the full fee unless there is a valid reason such as lameness. If I’m able to fill the cancelled slot, there will of course be no charge 🤎

I’m really excited for the 2026 season and can’t wait to continue this journey with you - bringing all the knowledge and insight gained this year into your training ✨🐴

Before your next lesson, I just want to say a huge, huge heartfelt thank you - for your bookings, your trust in me, your kindness, and your continued support. It truly means the world ✨🙏

Wishing you a Christmas filled with wine, mince pies, and pony joy! 🎄

Nay xx 🤎

✨ P.S. Christmas lesson vouchers are available — just pop me a message to organise! ✨

This is a long one so buckle up and grab a cuppa.
Being a horse riding coach can be incredibly rewarding, but it comes with its fair share of challenges. Here are some common struggles:

1. Managing learning styles and levels
- Skill Levels: Balancing lessons for beginners, intermediate, and advanced riders is challenging, especially when students progress at different paces. We all learn at different speeds and styles so we need to adapt every lesson for each horse and rider.

2. Handling Difficult Horses
- Coaches often work with horses that aren’t perfect schoolmasters, which can complicate lessons. Teaching students how to ride challenging horses without creating fear or frustration is a fine line to walk.

3. Physical and Mental Demands
- Horse riding is physically taxing, and demonstrating techniques or riding for hours takes a toll. Additionally, staying patient, calm, and encouraging while teaching can be mentally exhausting.

4. Weather Challenges
- Working outdoors means dealing with unpredictable weather, from scorching heat to freezing cold or rain, which can impact both rider and horse performance, and it seems to always be cold and wet.

5. Safety Concerns
- Riding is inherently risky. Ensuring the safety of students and horses while teaching proper techniques requires constant vigilance and quick reactions to prevent accidents.

6. Financial Struggles
- Riding lessons often don’t generate significant income. Covering the costs of fuel, equipment, and insurance can make profitability difficult. For a lot of us, coaching isn’t our full time job, putting all hours to see you and your horses happy.

7. Burnout
- The job requires passion, but the long hours, physical strain, and emotional investment in both students and horses can lead to burnout over time.

8. Client Expectations
- Managing unrealistic clients who expect rapid progress, can create stress and strain relationships.

9. Balancing Education with Fun
- Striking the right balance between teaching correct techniques and ensuring students enjoy themselves can be tricky. Too much focus on either aspect can lead to frustration or lack of progress.

10. Competition Preparation
- Preparing students and horses for competitions involves a lot of extra effort, including fine-tuning skills, managing show nerves, and dealing with the logistics of getting to events.

Despite the challenges, most horse riding coaches pursue the job because of their love for horses, teaching, and helping others grow, seeing partnerships bloom. So my ask if that your appreciate your coach, give them a cuppa, at Xmas think of them out there late at night. Most of us always move our diary around to accommodate changes. We love what we do and we love seeing happy horses and happy riders.

Please share and tag your coach/trainer

Hi everyone! 👋

I am so looking forward to coming home and seeing you all! We have been delayed in the U.K. due to the weather but we are really hoping to get back in the window tomorrow day boat (but it is not confirmed!) 🤞

If we do get back tomorrow evening, I will be around from Wednesday for lessons! I’m so sorry to those I haven’t replied to yet, you are all on my list but until I know we are chugging home I don’t want to book anyone in until I know we’re back - so I don’t let anyone down! If you could all pop me a message with what times work I will organise as soon as we’re on the boat tomorrow ⛴️

Hope everyone is super excited for JHOYS - it is quickly coming upon us! 💃
