I've had my second physio session today and starting to feel like I'm making progress with the muscle damage 🤞 my shoulder is actually feeling really good and only slightly weak! Now my biggest issue is muscle damage and bulging disc in my lumbar, oh and arthritis which I didn't know was there but makes sense now why my lower back was always so stiff and sore 🙃 I'm going to start swimming again and trimming hooves minimally as that does the most damage to my lower back. Any horse riders out there dealt with severe lower back pain/bulging disc and trying to sit the canter?? Walk and trot feels pretty good, but sitting a canter is impossible, way too painful! So i stay up in two point 😅 any one else dealt with this before?? All in all though feeling on track and just have to make sure i don't over do anything (as usual) 🤣

Fund-raiser alert! I've finally had time to launch our winter hay run fundraiser (just in time for EOFY 😅) our donations have dropped by more than 50% this financial year compared to last, I believe its a lot to do with me not being currently able to take new surrenders in, but still having a herd of 'forever' rescue horses here that I need to care for. Also having Oakley come back which i have had to seek the support of the lovely Amy from Sound Equine to trim for me since I had my injury (fractured scapula and bulging disc in my lower back). I still have vet bills, feed bills, dentists, vaccinations and general farm maintenance to keep up. Its been a really hard year, but if we can raise these funds that would make a HUGE difference!
Thank you so much to all my amazing supporters and also everyone who sponsors one of our horses. I would be in a very tricky situation if it wasn't for all of you folks 🙏💕 link is below and in our bio for insta 😊 also remember all donations are tax deductible! 😁

Come along on a 20km training ride with Pio the pooper and me! 🤣 we're trying to work on a controlled canter, its going, well, ok? 🤣 his canter is SO disunited that i cant sit it (i have to ride in 2 point) so its not the most enjoyable gait for me, but theres only one way to help him improve his balance and that's practice! Enjoy me activating Mum voice and hanging on for dear life 😅 gawd I do love this big dope though! What a champ 🏆

ADOPTED! And just like that, these two big babies are in their forever home! Because of my injuries (I'll do an update on that soon) I haven't been able to trim Billy for his fortnightly hoof rehab myself (Dr Kim has been trimming him because he also needs sedation for each trim), it made a lot more sense for him to move closer to Kim and her nurse, Amalie, who is adopting him! Billy will continue his rehab journey in their very capable hands 🙏 and joining Billy in his new paddock is the lovely Lillian who has been adopted by Danii 🥰 you may have remembered seeing Danii in some of Lillian's previous videos, those two are quite simply made for each other and I can't wait to see what new tricks Lillian learns in her new home (Danii has already taught Lillian how to smile 😀) Billy and Lilly are already the best of friends and now get to continue on their journey together ❤️

It took me two days to upload the helmet cam footage to YouTube 🤣🤣 but its up! This little reel is a snippet of it, its long, but does give a good idea of the trails we ride and also how much i talk to Pio when we're alone 😅 unfortunately it only recorded 30mins of a 2.5hr ride so I missed capturing the moments of a wombat scurrying out in front of us and Pio having the surprise of his life and the moment he decided to speed across rough ground scaring the heck out of me... oh and also the moment we ACTUALLY got to the lookout! (Yes it does exist) but hey, not too bad for our first helmet cam! Pop over to YouTube at the link below if youre interested 😄 (instagram ill pop a link in our stories)

Arthur was missing... if you guessed he was in this person's yard, you were correct! It has 6 foot colourbond fencing, and two dogs, HOW Arthur got in there remains a mystery, did the humans let him in for some reason? Did he find a secret passageway? Did he fly? The mystery remains.... the main thing is that the two dogs in the yard and him were vibing happily together and no one got injured! Arthur, what a special little weirdo.... (apologies for the swearing, I was genuinely shocked!)

Peters paddock ponies! Its now so cold that these guys are getting two bales of hay a day plus hard feeds as the grass over here has completely died off 😅 the extra hay also helps keep them warmer. Nova is over here at the moment while I work with Billy and Oakley hoof rehab cases, then I can focus on Nova's ridden work again. All looking very good over here though!

Smudge and i had such a lovely little ride today with and Chad with their boys Chance and Red 😄 we added a little bit of extra bush track to today's ride, Smudge and I even had our first proper canter! I cant believe i could ride it one handed while videoing and behind the others! This boy is an absolute pleasure to ride 💕 and yeah, his canter is the same speed as the other horses trotting! 🤣😍
