💔 A Tribute to Monty Roberts (1935 – 2026) 💔

These last few days I've had a persistent feeling of unease. Yesterday, I knew why when I heard the sad news that Monty Roberts had passed away.

Like so many of you, I have closely followed his work, methods and teachings since I was young. The impact he has had on my life and shaping the horsewoman I am today has been truly profound.

Without Monty, Brave'Art Clipping wouldn't exist.
His concepts are the entire reason I use a natural horsemanship approach when clipping. Because of him, I refused to accept that force should be the standard. His teachings gave me the knowledge, experience and confidence to listen to horses.
On a personal level, it is largely because of Monty that Chester and I share such a special bond and deep understanding.

Monty changed beliefs globally. "The man who could speak to horses" wasn't a myth anymore; it became a reality that he generously shared with the world.
I was lucky to attend his demos several times and meet him in person. He had a remarkable talent for making everyone there feel seen, human and horse alike.

Less than six months ago, Monty's legendary horse, Shy Boy, passed away. Monty said in his statement that he felt sure it wouldn't be long before they were reunited. As always, his instinct was right.

Thank you Monty for dedicating your life to making the world a better place for horses.

Your legacy lives on and I will often remember you in every gentle touch, every quiet moment and every horse clipped with patience instead of force.

You can now rest in peace Monty and Shy Boy 🕊️🐴 🙏

Please feel free to share your own memories, pictures and learnings in the comments below. Let's always keep Monty's memory alive 🥲

Here I am again, reminding everyone that IT STILL ISN'T TOO LATE TO CLIP! 🤣

It is just a myth my friends - you can clip all year round if you want to!

Make a booking now, your horse / pony will thank you 🙏

You might have seen the videos doing the rounds of owners clipping their horses with cheap dog trimmers for under £20 👀

Whilst it might seem like a brilliant budget-friendly option for body clipping, you could actually be doing your horse more harm than good.

There’s a reason these videos almost always feature a very clean, fine-coated horse with a solid-coloured coat… because lightweight trimmers simply aren’t designed to cope with dense coats or full body clips — even for dogs!

Low-powered trimmers can tug and pull at the hair, causing discomfort and irritation, whilst ultra-close cutting blades can leave the coat too short to properly protect the skin, increasing the risk of sunburn.

Here’s a brilliant example and throwback from Brave'Art Clipping - Dom Leese below 👇

A collection of goodies from the lovely Mel at Oil 2 Horse - Great Horse Products 😁😍
Itch Mast-er from Great Horse Products is literally MY FAVOURITE for fly control and now I'm so excited to try the shampoo!

I've just had a sniff of the lemongrass and lavender shampoo though and omg, it is HEAVEN!!! Very tempted to keep this for my own use, nevermind the horses 🤫😂

I will be doing another order at the end of the month, so if you're local and want to share on postage then let me know.
The fly cream and spray has UV protection, stops itching, prevents hair loss and can still be smelt 24 hours later! Unlike many others, it smells lush too, you'll want to use it on yourself!

✨️ Possibly THE BEST glow up I've ever done! ✨️

This is Ruby, a really sweet young horse that I have been looking forward to clipping ever since her family got her about 2 years ago.

She's been very poorly until recently, so I was tasked with her first clip to get her tidied up now that she's feeling much better.

I think anyone could be forgiven for thinking there was months in between these two pictures, rather than less than 2 hours!

Of course, Ruby behaved impeccably and enjoyed every second of her pamper session, just as I expected 😍

Good morning everyone, it is another beautiful sunny day!

⚠️ But with horses, we are always battling something, so you've probably noticed increasing midges and flies 🦟🪰

I just have to share with you a product that I absolutely swear by for fly / midge control:
Itch Mast-er from Great Horse Products

It is fantastic in preventing Chester's sweet-itch, reducing flies when I'm riding, and as a bonus it smells so fresh and delightful! Chester is always getting compliments on how good he smells even 24 hours after application - it really does last!
Another fantastic thing, it even has UV protection!!!

Use the cream for especially itchy / midge-prone areas ie mane line, tail, privates, belly, face.
Then finish with a light spritz on their body or fly rug. Don't forget to spray yourself and you might even get compliments on how good you smell - for once 🤣💩 🐎

👇 DISCOUNT AVAILABLE 👇
If you use Itch2026 you'll get 10% off and if you live locally to me, then I'm more than happy to put an order in and we can share delivery costs too.
Just message me this weekend before I order!

PLAITING AND SUMMER TURNOUT WORKSHOPS ARE BACK 🙌☀️‼️

🐎 Where: Newhall Farm, Elland, Halifax, West Yorkshire, HX5 9PH

This is a 2.5 hour workshop in a small group, with me initially demonstrating tips, tricks and products, then letting everyone have a go under my guidance.

Suitable for any horse owners, from complete beginners to someone wanting to improve / broaden their skills.
The workshop won't focus on one discipline, but instead, general turnout skills for whatever your summer plans are, whether that's dressage, showing, happy hacking or making your retired pal look a million bucks ✨️

You will be learning how to plait, get a shiny coat, tidy manes / tails / legs / faces, and do quarter marks (either traditional or creative ones).
I will also be sharing my tips and tricks to cut corners and make life a little easier for yourself!

A full lesson plan will be tailored to the group's needs.

Prices are £50pp (50% deposit secures your booking).

You will need to wear appropriate clothing and bring any refreshments for yourself but you will be using all of my equipment / products.
We will also already have a suitable horse at the venue to practice on, so please don't bring your own 😆

Places are very limited, so please message me ASAP if you're interested or want to book!
Please note, attendees must be 18 or over.

Did you know that I also offer behavioural sessions?

This very intelligent, sensitive mare has always bitten and kicked when having a rug, saddlepad or saddle put on. She wasn't just making threats, she would very quickly follow through!

However, in just the first session we had huge breakthroughs in understanding each other, and in the third session, they had a little ride! 🥰

I love the relaxed, happy faces of this very clever combo 👏
