From the grass that looked nothing!
Be aware folks.

The grass is green again, but is your horse ready for it?🌱

After weeks of dry ground, the rain's finally back... and that means fast, sugar-loaded regrowth is on its way.

Watch out for:
🦶 Hoof tenderness or a shorter stride
😤 Sudden girthiness, spookiness or overexcitement
💩 Bloating, wind or loose droppings
⚖️ A noticeable jump in weight or condition

Good doers, laminitics, and PPID horses are especially at risk right now, but honestly, it's worth keeping an eye on every horse as the grazing changes.

We've put together a full guide on why this happens, the early warning signs, and a simple 4-point plan to manage it safely. 📖

Hi all,

Just a little update that at the end of the year, we are very excited that we are expecting baby Smith No2!!

**Ps I MEANT 2026 😂**

I learnt the hard way the first time and carried on moving fences, poles and doing far too much when I was strictly told to stop 🤣 it was greatly regretted when they offered crutches at month 6, so if I could kindly ask for help in this area at the start/end of lessons that would be greatly appreciated and hopefully will lead to an easier recovery at the other side and a swift return. Updates will be given but I hope to definitely be back by the time the weather is kinder approaching spring and the competition season and hopefully exactly the same as before will continue working as close to due date as possible.

Thank you all as always for allowing me to have the best bunch of clients/friends I am very lucky for your continued support! 🍀

Best wishes,
Gabby Xx

This little beauty comes around again.
Back in the day age 9 me and my fabulous little superstar pony Smartie at Birchinley Manor (yes near on 30 years ago 😬!).
I am sure a few of you must remember this great venue? What a shame we lost it.

Really appreciate the horses and ponies I’ve had over the years, each one teaching us something different and a supportive family and help along the way who’ve made it happen. My coach not long after this photo is still the one I turn to now! 🐴
