My beloved routine has gone to pot . This is what I should have been doing this evening but for the third week running (and there have only been three weeks of work so far this year) it didn’t happen. I have tried to be a stickler for my work-horse life balance routine since my last job change because I know how important it is for my well-being but this year there is so much going on that I haven’t managed to manage it! To top it all, I can feel the lurgy creeping up on me again. Help! . #workhorsebalance #worklifebalance #horselifebalance #horsebloggers #equestrianblogger #overworkedandunderpaid
Today marks FOUR years since I officially made Pea mine. The responsibility and worry of horse ownership is very real but so worth it! . #mypony #myhorse #horseowner #horseownership #horsebloggers #equestrianblogger
What that? Poppy smiling? Going back down the gallops after cantering up? I almost don’t believe it myself! . Admittedly I still had my stirrups at dressage length and we did a controlled/unfit canter up twice rather than a proper blast but we both really enjoyed it! .

We are going up the gallops tomorrow! . It has been a long time since we have been able to canter up the grass track by the yard (as you can see by the t-shirt weather) as it is now knee-deep mud but the back lady said Pea needs to do some fast work. I haven’t been up the gallops before but I’m sure she’s going to love it.. maybe too much! Wish me luck! . #equestrianblogger #horsebloggers #gallops #cantering #mypony #colouredcob
Is anyone else struggling with only seeing their horses in the dark? . I can’t stand it! Bring on the weekend . #horsebloggers #equestrianblogger #winterblues
