10 points if you can see what was different about Pea today.. . #spotthedifference #horsebloggers #scarlettsweetpea #micklembridle
My new coloured - brown legs are so much easier than white! . Oh wait, that is just Pea hock high in mud. I honestly had a nightmare last night that her legs fell off because they were so deep in mud! . #mud #goawaywinter #winterblues #horsebloggers #derbyhousehorses
After weeks of struggling to get away from work or rushing to get a ride in before it got dark, today was a proper success! I was onboard for nearly an hour, it was still just about light when I got off and then I was able to take my time afterwards (while Pea got some extra munching in) . Oh my god the cold though! As soon as the sun went down it was Baltic - a hoodie and two coats wasn’t enough . #horsebloggers #stormciara #balticweather #stablesnuggles
I have to psych myself up to lunge because lunging isn’t an easy task for me and Pea. I had committed this morning as I was short of time but then annoyed myself by leaving my spare bridle (with a noseband you can take off) in the car that Alex had driven to work! I managed to just about make my Micklem work but the phrase “all the gear and no idea” certainly came to mind! I think I probably did more exercise chasing her around than she did.. . At least I tried! . #lunging #horsebloggers #allthegearandnoidea
Taking a tour down memory lane of some of my favourite photos that have made the famous office gallery wall from over the years . Now it has been probably 2 years since I last jumped it is almost hard to believe I’m the same person as the one in some of these photos! . #socialsuperchargeequestrian @rheafreemanpr #memorylane #horsebloggers #horsememories
This guy might not always want to pose for selfies but he is a bigger part of our team than he’d care to admit. When we first got together a good friend of mine said “He’s a nice guy but I don’t think you’ll marry him. He’s not going to stand in the cold with you at horse events!” How wrong they were! . For our second Christmas together he got Pea in from the field in the dark on his own so she could be the end of a treasure hunt for me. Then the trailer happened and he has been next to me on every journey Pea has made in it. He has been the ultimate “insta boyfriend” taking thousands of photos of Pea and has even ridden with us (three times!) He knows how to muck out, clean tack and has become quite the budding groom; at our last competition he even loaded her completely alone. . Above all he accepts that Pea came first and although it is common knowledge that it is not easy to love a horsey girl (something to do with the mud, the hay and the smell!?), he’s marrying me anyway! . #socialsuperchargeequestrian @rheafreemanpr #myteam #mymanandmyhorse
