🐴 GET TO KNOW ME — THE FACE BEHIND TGS EQUINE 🐴
With lots of new followers and clients joining me recently, I thought it was about time I introduced myself properly! 🥰
So, hi! 👋🏼 I’m Tameeka, I’m 22 years old and I’ve been freelancing for the past 2 years — although horses have been a huge part of my life for much, much longer! 🐴❤️
So, how did TGS Equine begin?
Before freelancing, I worked in the healthcare sector. I absolutely adored my patients and genuinely enjoyed the physical side of the job, but the workplace stress eventually made me realise that I needed a change and wanted to take my career in a completely different direction.
And that’s where freelancing came in…
My Thoroughbred injured himself for what felt like the millionth time 🤦🏻♀️🤣 and I suddenly found myself with nothing to ride!
I put a little post on Facebook advertising my riding services, not really knowing where it would lead… and that’s quite literally how this whole journey began! 😍
Fast forward 2 years and here we are! 🥹
Where did my love for horses come from?
I’ve been around horses for as long as I can remember and got my very first horse when I was just 3 years old.
Growing up, I spent a lot of time in hospital due to a rare blood disorder, starting from around 6 months old through to the age of 12. My absolute angel of a Nana wanted me to have something I could enjoy and look forward to outside of hospital visits.
As she already had horses, I chose horses🥹❤️
And honestly, I’m forever grateful that she introduced me to this incredible sport and lifestyle.
She took me all over the country showing, and I have so many childhood memories of her getting up at the crack of dawn every weekend, helping me plait, groom and bathe my ponies ready for a weekend of showing or show jumping.
Looking back, I realise just how much time, effort and love she put into giving me that childhood — and I couldn’t be more grateful. 🥹🤍
My biggest passion — Thoroughbreds & ex-racehorses 🏇🏼
My absolute favourite horses to work with are ex-racehorses.
I got my first ex-racer when I was 14 and, although she slightly traumatised me at times 🤣, I completely fell in love with the breed and have never looked back!
I think Thoroughbreds are such incredibly beautiful and versatile horses. They’re intelligent, sensitive, athletic and, when you get them on your side, they will try their absolute hearts out for you. 🥰
There’s something incredibly rewarding about helping an ex-racehorse find their feet in a completely different career and watching their confidence grow.
And my ultimate dream? ❤️
One day I’d absolutely love to have my own yard, alongside buying ex-racehorses, retraining them and eventually finding them their perfect forever homes.
It’s a big dream, but it’s something I’d love to work towards over the years. 🤞🏼🐴
Finally, I just want to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who has supported me over the past 2 years.
I’ve met some of the loveliest people, had clients turn into friends for life, and had the absolute privilege of working with so many beautiful, talented and completely different horses.
What started with one Facebook post because my own horse was injured has turned into a business that I’m incredibly proud of. 🥹
It’s been an amazing 2 years and I genuinely can’t wait to see where the next few take me.
Thank you for being here and supporting TGS Equine. 🤍
Here’s to many more horses, miles, lessons, muddy boots, early mornings, late nights and memories! 🐴🥰
