How many of us, to get into the rooms that matter, have had to climb into a box? A box that says "Be professional." Be certain. Don’t be too much. Show them the part of you that fits the role, and keep the rest...

🌸🐴 What a Saturday at the farm!

Our youth group rolled up their sleeves for a brilliant day of crafting with the wonderful — flower bashing (yes, literally bashing real petals into fabric! 🌼) to make our own one-of-a-kind tote bags, and turning old horseshoes into beautiful dream catchers. ✨🐎
But they didn't stop there. Our young people have taken over our Instagram AND our YouTube channel — so keep your eyes peeled for the brilliant content they've got coming your way. 🎥 This is their space now!

We're also so proud to share that they've just applied to FastForward's Youth Fund to create their very own gambling-awareness project — made by young people, for young people, to help others spot the risks and start the conversation. Watch this space. 💛
Huge thanks to , whose funding makes days like this possible, and to JAG Arts for the creativity and magic. 🙏

Days like this are what it's all about. 🐴

I'm really proud to share my latest article for Brainz Magazine — "The Box Every Leader Climbs Into."

It's about something close to my heart: how we all climb into boxes to fit in, and how the best leadership starts when we climb out. From a £50 rescue pony to our off-grid farm on reclaimed land, it's the story of Eat, Sleep, Ride — and everything our horses have taught me about leading with presence, calm and trust.

If you've ever felt you had to hide the parts of yourself that didn't fit, I think you'll find something in it. Have a read

It's 💚

Everything you see at Eat Sleep Ride was built by people who gave their time for free. 90+ volunteers. Over 2,435 hours. A former landfill turned into an off-grid sanctuary for horses and people.

You dug, you planted, you painted, you mucked out in the wind and the rain (and the odd bit of sunshine) — and never asked for anything back.
This wee video is for you. Thank you doesn't feel big enough, but thank you — from all of us, and every horse on this land. 🐴

This weekend we're joining The Big Do — and we'd love your help!
Come along to Eat, Sleep, Ride on this coming Saturday for Let's Get Crafty with Jag Arts at the yurt, 12–2pm. A relaxed afternoon of arts and crafts, plus a lovely community lunch kindly catered by Courtney.

And as part of The Big Help Out, we're rolling up our sleeves in our community garden — so bring your gardening gloves! We'd love some extra pairs of hands for a bit of weeding, planting and tidying. Or simply come to craft, chat and share food. Every pair of hands helps our garden, and our community, grow.

Bring the family, bring a friend, and join us out at our off-grid site near Berwick. Everyone welcome — no need to book.
