Getting back in the saddle after having babies… 🐴❤️

Nobody really tells you about this part.

You have a baby, you recover, you spend months (or years) putting everyone else first… and then one day you look at your horse and think, “Right. I’m ready to ride again.”

Except… you’re not quite the same rider you were before. 😂

Your core strength has disappeared.
Your balance feels different.
Your legs don’t have the strength they used to.
Your confidence has taken a little knock.
And that lovely little bounce you once had in the saddle?

Yeah… she left with your youth. 😂

You find yourself riding a little more cautiously. Thinking a little more. Questioning things you never used to question.

And then there’s the realisation that you’re not 18 anymore.

You can’t just fall off, get up, dust yourself off and jump straight back on like nothing happened. Your body has opinions now. Your hips have opinions. Your back DEFINITELY has opinions. 😂

But here’s the thing…

We don’t have to be the riders we were before babies.

We can become better riders in a different way.

We can learn to trust our horses again.
Build our strength back up.
Work on our balance.
Regain our confidence.
Laugh at ourselves when things don’t go perfectly.
And celebrate the little wins.

Because getting back in the saddle isn’t just about riding a horse again.

It’s about finding a little piece of yourself that got put on the back burner while you were busy growing humans and raising babies.

So here’s to the mums getting back on.

The mums who are a little stiffer.
A little more cautious.
A little less coordinated. 😂
The mums who don’t bounce like they used to.
The mums who need a mounting block now.
The mums who get sore after a walk around the paddock.
The mums who are rebuilding their confidence one ride at a time.

We’re still riders.

Maybe we’re not the riders we were 10 years ago.

But we’re mums now.

And honestly?

That’s pretty bloody impressive too. ❤️🐴

Honestly, one of the best parts of running a small business is seeing the same clients come back again and again. 🥹❤️

There’s something pretty special about knowing people trust me enough to keep bringing their horses back to me.

But then there’s the other side of it that makes me even more proud… when a brand new client calls and says, “I got your number from a friend,” or “Someone recommended you.” 🥰

That feeling is hard to explain.

Word of mouth means so much to a small business. It tells me that people are happy with the work I’m doing, happy with how their horses are treated, and confident enough to put my name forward to someone else.

I don’t take that for granted. ❤️

So to every client who has trusted me with their horses, come back for another job, recommended me to someone, shared my posts or simply told someone about SNS Equine Co — thank you. 🐴🤎

You’re helping me build something I’m incredibly proud of, one horse and one client at a time.

And honestly… I couldn’t ask for much more than that. 🥰🐴

🐴 RIDING LESSONS — BUT MAKE IT REAL LIFE 🤠

One of my favourite things about giving riding lessons is that I’m not just standing on the sidelines yelling instructions… I’m on horseback right there with you! 😂🐎

Sometimes the best way to teach something is to actually ride alongside you, demonstrate what I mean and work through things together.

Whether you’re learning the basics, building your confidence, working on your horse’s responses or simply wanting to become a more capable and confident rider — I’m there to help you every step (or trot 😉) of the way.

I believe riding lessons should be about learning, building confidence and having fun, without feeling like you’re being judged.

And yes… sometimes that means two horses, two riders and a whole lot of horsey conversations! 😂

🐴 THE PART OF HORSE LIFE WE DON’T TALK ABOUT… 😂

We always talk about training horses, riding horses and all the fun stuff…

But we don’t talk enough about the behind-the-scenes.

Cleaning tack.
Making sure our saddles fit properly.
Putting everything away after a long day.

And let’s NOT talk about the absolute disaster that somehow becomes our tack rooms. 😂🤦‍♀️

Because apparently owning horses means owning approximately 47 things that need somewhere to live. 🤣

That’s where a good saddle stand comes in!

We’ve made this one to keep your saddles and bridles organised, off the ground and hopefully make the tack room look a little less like a bomb has gone off. 😂

💕 This one is available for $300

And if pink isn’t your thing — don’t worry!
We can custom build them to suit your needs and custom colour them too.

Different setup? More saddles? Want something made specifically for your float, tack room or shed? Send us a message!

Because horse gear takes up enough room already… it might as well be organised. 😂🐴

🐴 TRAIL RIDES, HORSES & LITTLE PEOPLE 👶🏼

Being parents doesn’t mean the horses have to take a back seat.

Sometimes it looks a little different…
A baby tucked into the carrier.
A toddler asking a million questions.
A horse under you.
And a whole lot of juggling happening at the same time. 😂

But these are the moments we’ll look back on.

We want our kids to grow up knowing what it’s like to get outside, explore, get dirty, love animals and make memories with their family. ❤️

Because life doesn’t have to be horses OR family.

It can be horses AND family.

So saddle up, pack the snacks, strap in the babies and hit the trail. 🐎🌿

The best adventures are the ones we get to share with the people we love.

🐴 SNS EQUINE CO — FARRIER SERVICES 🐴

Healthy feet are the foundation of a healthy horse. 🖤

Whether your horse is a quiet paddock companion, a weekend trail horse or a hard-working performance horse, regular and appropriate hoof care is essential.

At SNS Equine Co, we provide professional farrier services with a focus on:

🐎 Routine trims
🐎 Corrective trimming
🐎 Maintaining healthy hoof balance
🐎 Young & inexperienced horses
🐎 Horses requiring patience and understanding
🐎 Working & performance horses

We believe every horse deserves individual attention — because no two sets of feet are exactly the same.

Our goal isn’t simply to make a hoof look good. It’s about soundness, balance, comfort and helping your horse stay happy and able to do their job.

✨ FARRIER BOOKINGS NOW OPEN! ✨

We currently have availability for new clients and are taking bookings for upcoming farrier appointments.

If your horse is due for a trim, or you’re looking for a reliable farrier to add to your horse’s regular care routine, get in touch to secure your spot.

🌿 Trail rides — good for the soul AND good for the horse. 🐴

There’s something about getting out of the arena, leaving the poles, circles and training exercises behind, and simply going.

For us humans, trail rides are a chance to slow down, breathe in the fresh air, clear our heads and reconnect with why we love horses in the first place. 🤎

But our horses benefit just as much.

🌿 They get to experience new environments and build confidence.
🐴 They learn to think for themselves and trust their rider.
💪 They strengthen their bodies over varied terrain.
🧠 They get a mental break from repetitive arena work.
❤️ And most importantly, they get to simply be a horse.

A good training program isn’t just about making a horse work harder. It’s about creating a well-rounded, confident and happy horse — and sometimes the best training session is the one that doesn’t feel like training at all.

So saddle up, hit the trails, and enjoy the journey. 🌅🐎

Happy horses. Happy riders. Better partnerships.

Well… that was suspiciously easy. 😂🐴

First ride on the new guy and I think we might have a keeper! 🤎

He walked out like he’d been doing this his whole life — calm, willing, responsive and happy to do everything that was asked of him. Walk, trot, steering, transitions… just quietly getting on with the job like an absolute gentleman.

Having such a confident and capable rider on his back definitely helped set him up for success, but this boy deserves some serious credit of his own. 👌🏼

Meanwhile…

Horse: 10/10
Rider: 10/10
Owner’s anxiety: 47/10 😂

My partner made it look effortless, the horse made it look easy, and I stood on the sidelines pretending I wasn’t holding my breath the entire time. 😂

No drama.
No fireworks.
No emergency dismounts.
No ambulance required.
No divorce lawyer required. 😂

I’m calling that a very successful first ride!

If this is the standard he intends to set, I think we’re going to get along just fine. 🤎🐴

🔥 Meet Miss Tulsa 🔥

Miss Tulsa has arrived for a few weeks of training to work on being less of a fire-breathing dragon… and more of the well-mannered lady we know she can be! 😂

Tulsa has a few things on her training list, but our main focus will be helping her become more confident and relaxed when having her feet handled and picked up for the farrier. She’s also not particularly impressed with the idea of being tied up, so we’ll be working on that as well.

Our goal is to build her confidence, improve her manners and teach her that these everyday experiences don’t need to be scary or stressful.

We’ll be taking things at her pace, working on clear communication and rewarding the right behaviours along the way.

Follow along over the next few weeks to watch Miss Tulsa trade in her dragon tendencies for the lovely, confident lady she’s capable of becoming. 🐴✨Paris Gene

Today was Alfie’s last day here at SNS Equine. We are so proud of what this beautiful boy has achieved in just 2 short weeks. We finished the week off with a nice calm walk outside the property which his has struggled with in the past but today was as calm as a cucumber 😂 We will be doing some horse/handler lessons with Alfie and his owner to help them understand how to best carry on with implementing the new skills that Alfie has learnt while bing with us. So this is not goodby but see you soon Mr Alfie. Be a good boy for your mum 🙂
