I’ve said it & I’ll say it a million times again, IF you think it’s okay to ride your horse in this severe heat or if you think it’s okay to proceed with lessons bcos you’d rather have more money then take care of your horses welfare, you should not run a business with horses nor own them 🤷‍♀️

Cancel & cool them off (without using the sweat scraper) it’s not worth risking your horses lives even if it’s just a ‘walk’ just bcos you want money, you should feel ashamed of yourself if you choose money over horse welfare, it’s disgusting really.

The equine industry is so toxic, imagine talking s**t about me & spreading s**t that isn’t true I’m just chilling with my ponies 🤣

When your pony has a huge field but chooses to stand next to the gate as if she’s stood waiting for you & knows when you’re coming, I love this land hippo to pieces 🤣🥰

Nobody will ever find a horse like Roman, he is a once in a lifetime kinda horse. He’s incredible, he knows when he needs to slow for those who have never ridden or are just starting out & he knows when he can pick up the pace whether we’re hacking, training at home, at arena hires or cross country competitions, he’s done it all.

That’s what makes this horse so incredible to anyone who’s ever seen him out competing or sat on him in the arena. But not only that, he is the sweetest soul ❤️, he knows tricks, he knows how to make anyone smile & laugh & he knows when you need a hug.

My non-horsey (now turned horsey) partner gets to experience this, he was willing & wanted to try & I’m super happy that he enjoys every second of it (including watching me getting pinged by Bon or Ro over jumps 🤣).

Getting to share this with your partner is amazing & getting to teach him is amazing & such a privilege, on the ground & in the saddle.

And it’s all possible because of Romy pony & I’ll forever owe this horse everything ❤️

(PS Ryan when you this I love you & your trotting first time was good & I’m proud of you!)

Everyone has their own teaching style/riding style!

Yes that’s true, not every equestrian is one in the same, you will meet people who ride differently, who teach differently, no one is the same.

I have had many lovely instructors in my life who have helped, teaching me different styles but in the end I learnt a more efficient way to ride my own 2 & that’s absolutely fine (with the help of my instructor now). And also you can’t exactly ride every horse the same, as they are also different.

I’ve had an experience where someone has tried to change the way I teach, and whilst I learnt new skills, no thanks I like the way I teach & I’ll never be the exact same as them 🤷‍♀️ sorry not sorry. I grew tired of being compared there so I did what was best & got the hell out.

Unfortunately in this industry you’ll meet many people who think their way of teaching is the only way, when it’s not. Or they’ve got qualifications (fair enough) but their way is sometimes not even the correct way to teach for some people. And I’m tired of those people most of the time.

How I teach is patient & calm but I will give the rider a push if needed, if I know they can do it. If something isn’t working we try something different, and if it does great! People need to remember everyone also learns differently & if that means simplifying something, taking things slow or at the right pace for the rider then it can really improve the rider and horses communication.

Again I’ve been in a situation where someone has taken how I taught & tried to change it to fit what they want (not the rider, but people on the ground) but unfortunately I’m not letting up, if I wanted advice I’d ask 🤷‍♀️.

I will not mould myself to be exactly the same, I’m stubborn as hell & screw what others think.

To everyone who told me I’d be a bad mum or I have no motherly instincts, I only know how to be a horse mum, they don’t take too much to look after but I want you to know you DO NOT know me, you’ve only seen parts of me bcos you’ve never bothered to actually get to know me. I helped raise my siblings, I’ve looked after friends kids & yeah maybe it isn’t the same but telling someone they’d be a ‘terrible’ mum is awful, especially if it isn’t even a joke.

Telling someone to ‘get rid’ of it because you don’t think they’re ready is fu***ng nasty as well, it’s not your choice. Instead of butting into someone else life, think about your own 🤷‍♀️. Oh also! Everyone learns!

Okay thanks for coming to my Ted talk. (Pics of my little sister who I taught how to ride all by myself 😌)

Felt so much more freedom recently, getting to spend more time with my 2 partners in crime, felt so much happier too! Never compromise your happiness ❤️🥰 these 2 always help with my mental health, even on the really bad days ❤️

Pics for attention ft my lovely non-horsey partner who is learning!

Would anyone who is an instructor be interested in someone shadowing them? I have experience in teaching in the equine industry in riding schools & during my own time teaching ages 3+ & up! I’m looking to gain more experience so I can start teaching properly & possibly gain my certificates so I can become qualified & do some freelance!

Teaching is a passion of mine, I love seeing the smiles on peoples faces & watching them progress. Whilst I do have my own teaching style, having to be patient due to the fact I mostly have taught toddlers & older kids, I’m willing to learn new ways & techniques that would help massively. My own horses are very lovely & Romy pony is originally from a riding school so he’s safe & such an incredibly patient horse, many people have learnt on him as well as been taught by myself ❤️.

This would help massively & I appreciate anyone who is willing!

Lovely hack with Roman & a few friends! He was itching to get home though 😅
